EDUCATION - Evaluation of teaching
CONTEXt, evaluation of the teaching function/teachers. Here they refer to evaluation at the insitutional level, by seniors (i.e. not self-evaluation, or evaluation by colleagues or students)
En particular, éste () sería el procedimiento más adecuado para evaluar también el grado de cumplimiento de las obligaciones presenciales del profesorado como la asistencia regular a clase, la puntualidad o el cumplimiento del horario de tutorías. Se trata de una dimensión distinta del concepto más amplio de calidad de la docencia: puede ocurrir que se impartan todas las horas de clase puntualmente, *****desarrollando una actividad docente calificada o considerada como muy deficiente****. Si bien, aunque se trate de una dimensión claramente distinguible del concepto de calidad, como señala Peña (1997), es difícil plantearse objetivos de mejora de la calidad de la enseñanza, cuando no se controlan los aspectos más simples y evidentes de la actividad educativa.
*****desarrollando una actividad docente calificada o considerada como muy deficiente****
Are they saying here that a teacher may or may NOT be functioning well in terms of the teaching activity in the strictest sense EVEN though apparently complying (in terms of just being there)?
I would appreciate an interpretation, but bearing in mind the words that come before and after this extract.
Thanks in advance.

you've got it
it is not enough to be punctual, you could be very punctual and still be totally useless as a teacher

Yes
if we're voting , then your interpretation is correct in my opinion. You can be punctual, and give all your classes, but you can give either good classes or downright shoddy ones! So, there has to be another dimension to judging the teachers, not just attendance.

I think that what they mean is what you are saying above: that some teachers can comply with their class schedule obligations, but what they teach is not adequate -
Providing a teaching activity that may be qualified or considered as very poor /deficient
Providing a teaching activity that may be qualified or considered as very poor /deficient

Read below:
I believe they're talking about a more profound teaching evaluation, that is, they propose that the teacher should be evaluate in all its aspects (grado de cumplimiento de las obligaciones presenciales del profesorado como la asistencia regular a clase, la puntualidad o el cumplimiento del horario de tutorías). Therefore, the teaching skills shouldn't be evaluated only by the fact that he/she arrives at work every day and at the right time (puede ocurrir que se impartan todas las horas de clase puntualmente). This factor (puede ocurrir que se impartan todas las horas de clase puntualmente) wouldn't mean that the teacher has been using his/her time in class with the students effectively and efficiently(desarrollando una actividad docente calificada o considerada como muy deficiente).
I hope it helps.

you are right. This is how I would put it:
carrying out a qualified or very unqualified teaching activity.

...carrying out either a qualified or a highly inadequate teaching activity...
Here is another option. Good luck with this one.
