EDUCATION EVALUATION

Student-centred University Educational Quality Evaluation

The “student-centred” educational quality evaluation system measures the extent to which a university supports student’s learning and growth, the added value it brings to students, which reflects the school’s educational quality. Therefore, the “student-centred” educational quality evaluation system is not simply a quantitative evaluation and comparison on the aspects of university resources input, prestige ranking and scientific research achievements etc., but reveals important data for evaluating university education’s quality (student’s gains in universities) through various survey methods, and its final target points to promote school reform and serve student growth”.

By attending this assessment, the participating colleges and universities can benefit from:

  • understanding of the values of running schools for student learning and growth
  • understanding of student attitudes, methods, degree of satisfaction, and assessment results during their study at school
  • understanding of best practices and points needing improvement regarding schools supporting student learning and growth
  • diagnostic recommendations on how the school can better support student learning and growth;
  • promoting the adjustment of strategies for running school and implementation of educational reform, thus to improve school running and education quality
  • Helping universities to form quality awareness, and to understand and constantly improve quality independently
  • Providing support and advice to university administrators and teachers on continuing professional development.

Core Indexes

The evaluation system closely centres on the “student-centred” concept, evaluating students’ gains during school and the supportive degree of university on students’ learning and growth in six aspects: educational goals, classroom teaching, extracurricular activities, management system, learning environment, etc., and provides diagnostic improvement recommendations according to the evaluation.
