Evaluating teaching quality in higher education: Analytical modelling and computerized implementation

Abstract

Teaching quality evaluation usually involves multiple influence factors with grey and uncertain information. This brings about limitations to effective evaluation of teaching quality in colleges and universities. Thus, this paper draws merits from previous research and proposes a teaching quality evaluation system and model for colleges and universities. First, based on real situations, grey categories of evaluation state for teaching quality are established. The definite weighted functions of grey category of evaluation state are confirmed. Specific steps of the teaching quality evaluation model based on grey clustering analysis are accounted for. Finally, a case study is introduced to verify the model. This model enlightens a new way to evaluate teaching quality in colleges and universities.
