Abstract
This paper investigates the strengths and weaknesses of teaching and learning based on the results of the student evaluation of lecturer teaching performances, and suggests strategies lecturers could use to address weaknesses in order to enhance their teaching performances and improve the learning of the students. The analysis of the results concluded that for professional development, lecturers should engage in action research to address weaknesses identified through the evaluation process. Such active involvement could result in lecturers effecting substantive changes to their teaching practices. Since teaching takes place in an interactive system, it is important that everyone involved in this practice support each other by all means to ensure that changes in teaching are effected. Adult learning principles such as experiential learning approaches and mentoring are applied in an environment conducive to promoting effective teaching and learning and enhancing student achievements.
