The article examines the results of a study of the views of high school students and teachers on the component of the formative assessment model based on observations of the teacher's activities, namely, the assessment of the teacher's professional activity by participants in the educational process. This assessment method is extremely important and can be used by the teacher himself for self-improvement based on feedback. The results of the study made it possible to analyze the respondents' answers by the degree of their commonality and differences and to understand the attitude of participants in the educational process to the assessment of pedagogical activity by students. High school students called the achievements and personal development of students and the attitude of students towards the teacher as indicators of the effective professional activity of a teacher. Most students would like to evaluate the work of teachers, but they believe that their assessment will not be important for professional activity and will not affect the effectiveness of teachers' work. The vast majority of teachers are also convinced that the opinion of students is important for their professional activity, but it will not affect their work. That is, both students and teachers consider the assessment of pedagogical activity by students to be important. But they are unanimous in the fact that its results will not affect professional activity. Student assessment of teachers' professional activity in the domestic educational system has not gained widespread use and is fragmentary. This article is a continuation of scientific research into ways to improve the system of evaluating the professional activities of teachers in secondary education institutions.
