To introduce and examine a pilot peer observation of teaching (POT) scheme within the Department of Paediatric Dentistry at Glasgow Dental School and its associated outreach centres.
All tutors teaching paediatric dentistry were invited to be involved in evaluation of the POT scheme. Participants were randomly paired with a peer, who then observed their teaching and provided constructive feedback. For those consenting to be involved in the evaluation of the scheme, semi-structured, one-to-one interviews were carried out by the principal investigator.
POT was found by all participants to be a beneficial process, reassuring those of their teaching styles and giving them ideas to adapt their teaching.
POT is an effective method for engaging chair-side tutors in the reflection and development of their teaching practice via observations and scholarly discussion.
介绍并考察格拉斯哥牙科学院儿牙系及其下属教学中心试行的同行教学观察（POT）计划，并对其进行评估。
所有教授儿牙的讲师都被邀请参与 POT 计划的评估。参与者被随机两两分组，彼此观察教学并提供建设性反馈。对于那些同意参与计划评估的人，由首席研究员进行一对一的半结构化访谈。
所有参与者都认为 POT 是一个有益的过程，这让他们对自己的教学风格感到安心，并为他们提供了改进教学的思路。
通过观察和学术讨论，POT 是一种有效的方法，可以让椅旁讲师参与到教学实践的反思和发展中来。
