摘要：In Romania,teachers'performance is periodically assessed for the purpose of selectively awarding them monthly financial incentives called merit gradations.The criteria used in teachers'evaluations are established by the Ministry of National Education and adjusted locally by County School Inspectorates.These criteria refer to performing a series of specific activities which are submitted in the form of a detailed assessment sheet.The authors of this article consulted 481 of such files submitted by preschool and primary school teachers from the archives of Iaúi County School Inspectorate,all of which were awarded merit gradations in the school years between 2006 and 2012.The findings of the present study highlight the high percentage of points awarded for merit gradations to teachers based on their having involved their pupils in academic competitions.We argue that employing this practice in teacher assessments should be rigorously documented from a scientific standpoint before being widely used in the educational system.
