Therefore, exploring the current situation and reform strategy in China’s Higher Vocational College students evaluation from teaching quality security perspectives, to provides theory reference and practice implications for China’s Higher Vocational College teaching quality assurance construction, it is very necessary.Discovery from the literatures research, It is needed to more reflection and research in the logical relationship between student evaluation for teaching and teaching quality assurance, and teaching quality assurance mechanism.Accordingly, formed the research hypothesis is:Student evaluation is the important assurance for Higher Vocational Colleges’ teaching quality in our current country; The core research question is:How can the student evaluation be better to protect the teachers’ teaching quality?

Forth, How to reform should the Higher Vocational College students’ evaluation to return to the requirements?In order to answer the above questions, this study applied the methods of literature research, survey method, case study method and comparative research method. According to the ideas:internal exploration, Investigation for the current situation, problem attribution and reform strategy, from the perspective of Edwards Deming’s PDCA method, adhering to pragmatism view of knowledge, to take a combination of quantitative and qualitative mixed strategy. The main findings of this study are:(1) From the historical development and reform of China and foreign countries, the relationship between students’ evaluation for teaching and higher vocational quality assessment is not "detachment", but "very close".
