ABSTRACT

Objective To find deficiencies in the existing students' teaching evaluation by in-vestigation and to improve the work in teaching evaluation. Methods Totally 787 students and 261 teachers were investigated by the questionnaire. Contents of questionnaire include interference factors of students' teaching evaluation, experts and teachers' initiatives, students' opinions on how to play the role of evaluation, feedback from experts, etc. Results were analyzed by SPSS 17.0 t test and sta-tistical description. Results Teacher exerted less impact on students' initiative of teaching evaluation and 221(84.7%) teachers said that they would never relax requirements for students because of the evaluation. 37.0%(291/787) students said that experts took the initiative to understand the teaching condition and 65.9%(519/787) students said that teachers took the initiative to understand the study condition. Students thought that teaching evaluation can help improve teachers' teaching ability but lack of powerful guidance after evaluation, insufficient recognition on evaluation opinions and delayed feedback affected the progress of the evaluation work. Conclusions Teaching assessment is very im-portant. Therefore, we should improve the enthusiasm of students in the assessment and make use of student's academic performance rationally in order to make the teaching evaluation play a greater role in improving teaching quality.
