Teaching Evaluation System on Engineering for Applied University in China

Abstract

This research presents a novel Teaching Evaluation System model designed to enhance the quality of education in Chinese applied universities with a focus on engineering programs. The objectives included synthesizing relevant theories related to teaching evaluation systems in applied university engineering and developing a comprehensive system. A population of 9 experts from China was selected through purposive sampling, all qualified and with a minimum of five years' experience as Assistant Professors at the same university. SPSSPRO was employed for data assessment, ensuring questionnaire reliability with a Cronbach's ? of .823, indicating excellent reliability. The research result, with an average score of 4.6358, SD. = 0.4655, CV = .1008, IQR = 1, demonstrated a strong agreement among expert opinions. Utilizing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for weighting analysis and assessing matrix consistency, CR = .039 < .1, suggested sufficient consistency for decision-making. The research employed focus groups to discuss the evaluation system for Chinese applied university engineering education, utilizing the CIPP model, modifying the evaluation index system, and employing AHP for indicator ranking. A case study at Sichuan University of Science & Engineering, using the new evaluation index system, revealed program issues, and offered recommendations. The index system comprises four first-level, 12 second-level, and 52 third-level indexes, providing a reflective evaluation of the actual relationships among indicators and serving as a valuable reference for assessing engineering education quality.
