Anempirical Research Of Quality Evaluation Of Graduate Education In Jiangsu Province

The thesis has an empirical research on the postgraduate education quality evaluation in Jiangsu Province by using the related theories and methods of service management, quality management, educational management, higher education and behavioral science,etc.The thesis constructs an index system and a synthetical evaluation model on school-running resources of postgraduate majors. The index system is well-tested through dimensions verification, index selection and weight calculation, and it can be a good tool to analyze the status of the school-running resources in Jiangsu Province. The paper ranks and cluster analyzes the status of the school-running resources on136majors of24universities in Jiangsu Province through quantification.The satisfaction scale form of postgraduate education is designed based on the previous research. The form is tested by statistic methods, and shows it's an effective tool to analyze the satisfaction status. The paper has an empirical research on postgraduate satisfaction through descriptive statistics analysis, T-test method and the analysis of variance.The thesis has an empirical test on the index system of dissertation sampling of the agency for educational evaluation in Jiangsu Province by using structural equation model, and shows that the system is scientific. It also has statistic analyses on the dissertation quality which is based on the sampling results, and has an investigation on the status of postgraduate dissertation quality in2008through the ratio of excellent, good, bad and dissertation scores.Based on the input-process-output model, this thesis builds a structural equation model which can be used for the relationship among the input-process-output of postgraduate education. The model is tested by using PLS-SEM, which is based on the136postgraduate majors'data. The result shows that the model is a very good tool to research on the relationship among the elements which influences on the postgraduate education quality.Some suggestions are provided based on the research results:strengthening the external quality assurance mechanism based on the professional evaluation agency, enhancing the input on the school-running resources of postgraduate education based on average resource per student, promoting the service quality of the postgraduate cultivation units based on the students'satisfaction.
