Abstract :
The vital roles of the teachers in the teachinglearning enterprise demand proficiency. To be effective,
teachers need to grow professionally in congruence to the
dynamic society where they live. As the society changes,
so are the human activities within the society, teaching
inclusive. It is thus imperative that teachers improve on
their teaching methods through professional techniques
and strategies. Systematic Classroom Observation is a
strategy that could be employed by teachers to enhance
their professional development. It provides opportunity
for the teachers to document their classroom activities
and behaviour for review and amendment where
necessary. This paper therefore, is a discourse of the
concept ofsystematic classroom observation with respect
to its influence towards engendering the professional
development of teachers in Nigeria.The weaknesses and
strength of systematic observation were overviewed as
well.
