Hunan Economic Management College Teacher Performance Appraisal System Study

Higher vocational education combines tightly theory with practice and thus attaches much stress to the application of knowledge and on-the-job training. It targets towards cultivating comprehensive and overall qualified vocational talents who are capable of some forefront service, technical and managerial work. So it's required that the students, during the school period, take part in some practical training before taking an actual job. Teachers involved in higher vocational education, therefore, ought to be equipped with profound theoretical knowledge and have , as well, a good command of the necessary practical skills, as are termed literally "double-ability teachers". As the acquisition of knowledge and skills by students in higher vocational school is mainly through the access of classroom teaching, the quality of teachers determines, to a certain degree, that of education in the school.To improve the quality of education in a higher vocational school, we should first of all bring into full play the teacher's initiative premised on establishing a scientific and rational performance achievement evaluation system, which provides for the teachers proper guidelines in their career planning so as to improve their performance in their teaching. Most higher vocational schools in China, however, fail to apply the "double-ability teacher" norm to evaluating a teacher's performance . They adopt completely the Teachers' Performance Achievement Evaluation System(TPAES) taken by some secondary vocational and technical schools or adult educational schools, or even follow the suit of higher educational colleges, under which the teachers fail to design and conduct their teaching 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 insociety.This essay takes the case of Hunan Economic Management College to diagnose the problems in its present TPAES, and design, based on the "double-ability teacher" norm, a teachers' performance achievement evaluation quota system suitable for higher vocational schools. In this system, fuzzy synthetic assessment method is introduced into the evaluation mode by students, a performance achievement evaluation result feedback mechanism is preliminarily set up and the incentive measures are greatly enhanced.
