Research On The Evaluation Indicator System Of Undergraduate Classroom Instruction Of The Research University In China

During the higher education popularity stage,the main challenge for Chinese research universities is to improve undergraduate education quality.Classroom is the main place to cultivate talents,and classroom instruction quality have influence on talent cultivation quality.Recent years,more and more researchers regard classroom instruction as the key to solve the quality problem.Then research universities generally carry out classroom instruction evaluation activities.So it' s necessary to design a set of scientific evaluation indicator system,which is an inevitable choice for research universities to improve the internal quality assurance system.Firstly,the research reviews the literature about effective teaching and teaching evaluation indicators,which are the theoretical basis.Secondly,the research finds problems of evaluation indicator systems of Chinese research universities by comparing the evaluation indicator systems of Chinese research universities with American research universities,and gets revelations from the comparison.Thirdly,the research constructs a set of evaluation indicators by investigating evaluation experts,students and teachers,which can be used to assess undergraduate classroom instruction quality in China.Finally,an investigation was conducted to test and improve the theoretical model.According to the research,the common evaluation indicators can be divided into five dimension.The first factor is teacher support,which includes caring about students' learning situation,communicating with student equally,democracy to students,answering students' question patiently,guiding students to explore unknowing,encouraging students to participate in classroom discussion,teaching lively and interesting.The second factor is course content,which should be profound,broad,distinct and advanced.The third factor is course organization,which including arranging teaching time,teaching tools and workload,learning materials reasonably.The forth factor is learning behavior,which includes studying hard extracurricular time,listening and taking notes carefully,participating in discussion actively.The last one is learning outcomes,which includes knowledge increase,ability,emotion and academic accomplishment.In addition,some selection indicators are found,such as consistency of content,rich reading materials,modern equipment using effectively.
