Most HCC in China, however, fail to apply the"double-ability teacher"norm to evaluating a teacher's performance. They adopt completely the teachers'performance appraisal indicator system taken by the suit of higher educational colleges, under which the teachers fail to design and conduct their activities in line with higher vocational education pattern, that is, they neglect their work in training the students'practical skills and all-around ability. In this case, higher vocational education is far from its aim to cultivate higher vocational talents badly needed in society.The essay first illustrates the realistic meaning and theoretic caluation of the problem about performance appraisal of HCC from two aspects——research background and comprehensive demonstration of document.
