The national competition is ultimately the competition of talents. As the base for talent cultivation, excellent teaching and learning quality is essential for its own development, social progress, as well as as for enhancing national competitiveness. The quality of higher education has always been the focus of our society. Many researchers have explored this issue, howevcer, related literature shows that focus has been put to the study of teaching effectiveness, neglecting the facters' synergy of the education system, especially the study of students' role in the higher education.Therefore, on the background of higher education, this paper studies the general rules of the formation of higher education teaching and learning quality, establishes a model to evaluate effective teaching and learning, as well as a quality management system of higher education.This paper will provide guidance for college students to learn efficiently and will promote colleges and universities to improve the overall teaching and learning quality,.The first part of this paper studies the formation mechanism of the higher education teaching and learning quality. With its study assumptions and the concept model being based on past theoretical results, this paper is committed to study key system factors' influence on teaching and learning quality and the interaction between these factors. This paper establishes the structural equation model, analizes and tests the direct and indirect effects of higher education teaching and learning dimensions. In the model, student's role is classified into two dimensions:learning motivation and learning behavior, the role of teachers is divided into three dimensions: the quality of teacher, teaching attitudes and teaching behavior, and results of teaching and learning are evaluated from students' learning results and students' satisfaction, while teaching and learing supports are studied in the teaching and learning enviroment.The empirical analysis of formation mechanism of higher education teaching and learning quality is carried out in two steps. The first step is EFA. In this step, we analyze the data and modify the conceptual model, mainly by analyzing the items, forming the final questionnaire, and determining the reliability of the samples. The second step is CFA. In this step, on basis of a huge sample, we get the conclusion by studying 322 valid samples on CFA.The conclusions of the first part of the research are as follows: (1) The formation of the quality of higher education teaching and learning is a complecated process. The key factors of teaching and learning system not only has a significant direct effect on the formation of the quality, but also has a indirect effect through affecting other system factors. (2) Every teaching and learning system factor affects and interacts with each other. Generally, the researchers view the learning motivation as a promotional factor and a variable of learning. In this paper, the results show that in the learning process the learning motivation is changeable, and it is affected by the teaching attitudes and behaviors of the teachers. (3) The demographic and learning characteristics of students has some effect on the teaching system and learning results of the higher education, but not significantly.On basis of the first part, a model for evaluating the teaching and leaning quality based on MTS is established in the second part. In the first part, we have proved that learning results are influenced directly by learning motivation, learning behavior, teacher's quality and teaching behavior. Therefore, our study of evaluation of effective teaching and learning uses thirty quality indicators from the above four dimensions as the original MS, optimizes the MS by using othogonal arrays and SN ratios, and finally establish the MS by extracting 21 effective characters.The comparision of the MD values among testing samples, training samples and empritical analysis samples shows that the optimized MS is more effective in identifying effective study.The meaning of quality management idea in the field of higer education is explored in the third part of this paper. The planning process of QMS of higer education teaching and learning is also expanded in this part, such as working out quality policy and goal , indentifying the teaching and learning process in higher education, and designing the QMS documentations of higher education. A model for improving the teaching attitude for college teachers based on attitude theories is established in the part.
