Exploration and Practice of Teaching Quality Evaluation for University Teachers: Taking the Comprehensive Evaluation of "Six Dimensions and Three Elements" as an Example

The evaluation of teacher teaching quality is one of the guarantee mechanisms for universities to improve teaching quality and cultivate high-quality talents. Conducting research on the evaluation of teacher teaching quality in universities has great practical significance. Based on the theoretical framework of "effective teaching", this paper analyzes the main problems in the current evaluation of teaching quality, and proposes that curriculum teaching evaluation should follow the "six dimensions and three elements" for reform. The evaluation content should be based on six dimensions: teaching behavior, curriculum characteristics, teacher characteristics, student characteristics, learning effectiveness, and student satisfaction, and should be evaluated by three types of evaluation subjects: student evaluation, supervision evaluation, and peer evaluation, construct a diversified evaluation system and establish a benign closed-loop evaluation mechanism.

A novel MADM-based efficient methodology with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers and applications to physical education teaching quality evaluation

With the successful promotion of the new round of basic education curriculum reform, China’s physical education (PE) teaching ideology and PE teaching mode have undergone profound changes, and these changes urgently require schools to establish a PE teaching quality (PETQ) evaluation system that is compatible with them, and urgently resolve the contradiction between theory and practice. The evaluation of teaching quality is not only a value judgment of teachers’ teaching ability and teaching effect, but also a value judgment of students’ learning ability and learning achievement changes. Therefore, it is an important issue of higher education research to construct a university PE teaching quality evaluation system and actively promote the healthy development of university PE teaching evaluation. The PETQ evaluation is viewed as the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM). In order to take the full use of power average (PA) operator and Heronian mean (HM) operator, in this article, we combine the generalized Heronian mean (GHM) operator and PA with 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic numbers (2TLNNs) to propose the generalized 2-tuple linguistic neutrosophic power weighted HM (G2TLNPWHM) operator. The G2TLNPWHM could relieve the influence of the awkward data through power weights and it could also consider the relationships between the attributes, and it can give more accurate ranking order then the existing methods. The new MADM method is built on G2TLNPWHM operators. Finally, an example for PETQ evaluation in is used to show the proposed methods.

Construction of a mathematical modeling teaching quality assessment system for universities based on Eviews model

Abstract Quality assessment of university education and teaching is an essential and important part of teaching and learning activities. Over the years, a large amount of data has been accumulated in teaching and management, but the potential value of these data has not been fully utilized. How to use a large amount of data scientifically, automatically, and more effectively for rational analysis and guidance of current teachers’ teaching work has become a key issue in testing the effectiveness of teaching quality assessment, and an in-depth study is urgently needed. In this paper, we use the Eviews model, regression analysis algorithm, Apriori association rule algorithm, and other techniques. It conducts research on the assessment of teaching quality in Chinese universities. Finally, after completing the construction of the system, the main modules in the system, system management, resource management, quality assessment, and assessment query module, focused on testing. A total of 160 test cases were designed, of which 157 test results met the requirements of the system, and 3 results did not meet the requirements, with a success rate of more than 98%. The results show that the system has no major defects, runs normally, has stable performance, and meets the system requirements for teaching quality assessment in universities.

Lost and Found: University Teachers about the Change of Higher Education Quality

The article considers last three years’ changes of higher education quality from the perspective of university teachers as key actors of an educational process. The study focuses on the main factors infl uencing the quality of higher education and the nature of changes in the post-pandemic educational environment, in particular, through the use of digital solutions. The authors deliver primary (general) results of Russian university teachers’ poll regarding the triggers for changing the quality of higher education, the eff ectiveness of educational and pedagogical activities in the digital environment, as well as points to be paid attention at in ensuring the quality of higher education. The results of the poll show signifi cant changes in higher education over the period studied, especially in applied teaching practices and in lesson formats, these shifts contributing to the change of education quality in general. Global, institutional, and individual infl uencing factors together give multidirectional impact on the quality of education, thus forming diff erent experiences and perceptions of higher education quality dynamics. University teachers, however, are quite diff erently engaged in the university education quality assessment. Due to understanding themselves as key stakeholders in education quality assurance, university teachers identify their course load and additional non-curricular functions as the main barriers in developing their own eff ectiveness. The article is addressed to heads of academic programs and educational institutions, to executive authorities responsible for quality assurance and assessment in higher education, as well as to the representatives of research community in Russian higher education.

Undergraduate Teaching Audit and Evaluation Using an Extended ORESTE Method with Interval-Valued Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Sets

Undergraduate teaching audit and evaluation (UTAE) plays a substantial role in the teaching quality assurance and monitoring of universities. It achieves the goal of selecting the best university for promoting the quality of higher education in China. Generally, the UTAE is a complex decision-making problem by considering competing evaluation criteria. Moreover, the evaluation information on the teaching quality of universities is often ambiguous and hesitant because of the vagueness existing in human judgments. Previous studies on UTAE have paid subtle attention towards the managing of linguistic expressions and the performance priority of universities. The interval-valued hesitant fuzzy linguistic sets (IVHFLSs) can effectively describe uncertainty, hesitancy, and inconsistency inherent in decision-making process. The ORESTE (organísation, rangement et Synthèse de données relarionnelles, in French) is a new outranking decision-making method which can show detailed distinctions between alternatives. Therefore, in this study, we propose a new UTAE approach based on the VHFLSs and ORESTE method to resolve the prioritization of universities for selecting the optimal university to benchmark. Specifically, the presented method handles the hesitant and uncertain linguistic expressions of experts by adopting the IVHFLSs and determines the ranking of universities with an extended ORESTE approach. Finally, a practical UTAE example illustrates the feasibility the proposed approach and a comparison analysis provides grounding for the superiority of the integrated approach. When the obtained results are evaluated, U2 has been determined as the best university. The results indicate the good performance of the proposed UTAE approach in evaluating and improving the teaching quality of universities.
