Student Evaluation Of Teaching In The Study Of The Influence Factors

Subject teaching is one of the key operations in school education. Moreover, it is essential to the achievement in education objectives. The evaluation of subject teaching represents a crucial part in the teaching and the subject teaching will not exist without evaluation. Basing it on the evaluated subject the evaluation systems in China's current can be cataloged as the self-evaluation, the evaluation of colleagues, evaluation of the administrators and the evaluation of the students. Subject to certain reasons, among all the four aspects, the students' evaluation has not put the otherwise enough attention to. That really thwarts the teachers from improving their teaching methodologies and the students' initiative, ability of judging and spirit of democracy.On reading a huge amount of relevant materials, I have discovered that there has been a lot of research on the students' evaluation system abroad and is widely implemented while it is still confined in universities and the researches on middle school students' evaluation remains blank. Thereby, I try to take "the value of middle school students' evaluation of subject teaching"(focusing on psychological elements) as the cut-in point of my research, expecting to get some valuable items. I carried out the research work in Yangpu Senior High School in Shanghai, doing some of the research on the system of learning, evaluating and teaching in the school along with some interview researches in other high schools in the district.This research is mainly done through questionnaires and interviews are also applied as auxiliary means.There does exist the system of students' evaluation on teachers' teaching in all high schools in YangPu district, while the system is not seriously adopted a sit should be and the system itself need a lot of improvement which is apparently represented as: although most schools carry out the evaluation by using questionnaires and interview, it is rarely done; moreover, there has been no feedback of the evaluation results. My further analysis on the psychological influence on students' evaluation's credibility and applicability is as follows:On the teachers' side, in general, they acknowledge that students have the rights and ability to evaluate teachers and regard the evaluation credible and neutral. But there are emotions of worry, suspicion, defense. Half of the teachers take it as walking-throng.On the students' side, however, they can evaluate teachers in general but are not clear about specific criteria. There are things that deviate students' evaluation from neutral. These are comparing teachers, interest in specific subjects, first impression, bias and so on.Based on thinking of the above psychological influences, I have suggestions for the evaluation system-followed: Clarify the objectives of evaluation system and make it work and try to enforce the strategies of control over psychological effect. We also need to improve to perfect the system to make the system of evaluation on teaching and evaluation on learning organically jointed.
