Abstract

< p >The purpose of this article is to review the structure of the teacher competency and rating system in East Asian countries. The study method was qualitative, descriptive and analytical, which was done by examining the sources, information, data and documents available in Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan and Singapore that addressed through documentary analysis. Therefore, the available sampling method was used. Three basic components were considered to examine the rating process in countries: the structural framework, the evaluation process, and the application of the results. The findings of this study showed that in the studied countries, in order to create a structure in which the status and value of a teacher''s work is displayed, rating or similar forms are performed. The study found that schools have a special place in the rating process and institutions have been established for this evaluation. Rankings come in many forms, but what all of these systems had in common was attention to student learning as an essential element of the education system. Finally, suggestions were made for the rating process in the Iranian education system.
