Abstract

There are many difficulties in the evaluation of the teaching quality of phys-ical education (PE) in colleges: the evaluation factors are complicated, the evaluation systems are incomplete, and the evaluation methods are not com-prehensive enough. To overcome these difficulties, this paper introduces an-alytic hierarchy process (AHP) to the evaluation of PE teaching quality in colleges. Firstly, the authors identified the influencing factors of PE teaching in colleges today. Next, an index system was established for the evaluation, and an evaluation model was set up based on the AHP and grey system theo-ry (GST). Finally, our method was proved feasible through example analysis. The research results provide new insights on the application of state-of-the-art theories in quality evaluation of higher education.

Highlights

  • As a key aspect of quality education, physical education (PE) is a compulsory course in many colleges

  • Considering the factors affecting the quality of college PE teaching, this paper combines analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey system theory (GST) into a novel evaluation model for PE teaching quality in colleges [20,21,22,23,24,25]

  • The unreasonable PE curriculum planning has two meanings, one meaning is that the PE teaching content is not formulated according to the different learning stages, and the systematic and logical problems in the curriculum planning make the PE major knowledge fail to combine with the acceptability of the students; the other meaning is that the randomness of the PE teaching content fails to organically integrate with the PE teaching syllabus, and the progress of PE lessons can hardly be guaranteed, which is a very important factor affecting the quality of PE teaching

Summary

Introduction

As a key aspect of quality education, physical education (PE) is a compulsory course in many colleges. Sum et al [13] demonstrated how continuing professional development affects the sports literacy and self-efficacy of PE teachers and the learning effect of students. Considering the factors affecting the quality of college PE teaching, this paper combines analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey system theory (GST) into a novel evaluation model for PE teaching quality in colleges [20,21,22,23,24,25]. After consulted scholars engaged in PE teaching and higher education related fields, this paper applied questionnaire survey, expert interviews, literature reviews and other methods to explore and analyze the factors influencing the PE teaching in current colleges and universities, which are summarized as follows

Unsubstantial PE faculty
Out-dated PE teaching mode
Insufficient ability to reform PE teaching
Unreasonable PE curriculum planning
Disconnected PE teaching practice and theories
Low awareness of social service in PE teaching
Poor integration of industry-university-research in PE teaching
Improper settings of management organizations and systems of PE teaching
Imperfect PE teaching evaluation systems and methods
Principles for the selection of PE teaching quality evaluation indices
Construction of PE teaching quality evaluation system
AHP-based weight analysis
GRA process
