The Construction of Evaluation Indexes for Teachers in Minzu Colleges and Universities Using Student-Centered Approach
The reform of educational evalua-tion is considered to be the most comprehensive,prospective and arduous task in the educational re-form.The General Plan for Deepening the Reform of Education Evaluation in the New Era takes teacher evaluation as its core part,and puts for-ward specific requirements from the aspects of teachers'ethics,teaching,student work,and sci-entific research evaluation.Therefore,this study premises that teacher evaluation,considered a key component of education evaluation,needs to be improved and optimized under this requirement.Minzu colleges and universities,the research sub-ject of this paper,fulfill a"dual mission"as both regular and ethnic minority universities.In addi-tion,the requirement of"forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation"in the new era has imbued Minzu colleges and universities with a new role of"fostering virtue through education".Under this requirement,it is thus seen as very sig-nificant to optimize the evaluation system of univer-sity teachers and cultivate a large cadre of talents capable of contributing effectively to ethnic areas by"returning,staying,being dependable,and ex-celling in their work".Guided by a"student-centered"philosophy and combined with the educational goals of Minzu colleges and universities,this paper tries to offer a practical implementation of the main objective of consolidating a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation through the content and process of teacher evaluation.Starting from the two educa-tional subjects of teachers and students,it endeav-ors to reverse the evaluation perspective:The arti-cle attempts to appraise the quality of teachers'ed-ucation and teaching by assessing student progress,growth rates,and developmental achievements.In this way,it attempts to effectively solve the prob-lem of the"Five Only"issue in teacher evaluation which overly emphasizes metrics such as academic papers,honors,professional titles,educational background,and awards,while neglecting actual educational contributions.What is more,by inves-tigating how students at Minzu colleges and univer-sities perceive teacher evaluation criteria guided by a"student-centered"approach,this research hopes to provide an effective database for the con-struction of evaluation indices.Finally,in alignment with the directive to o-vercome the limitations of"Five Only"articulated in The General Plan for Deepening the Reform of Education Evaluation in the New Era,while also proceeding with forging the sense of the Chinese national community,this study suggests to incorpo-rate the indicators of teacher ethics and ideological leadership into the teacher evaluation system.This aims to guide teachers and students to form an ac-curate understanding of the country,history,eth-nicity,culture,and religion,making Minzu colle-ges and universities a main position for forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.In addition,while implementing this"student-ori-ented"concept into practice,and paying attention to student needs,the development requirements of teachers should also be considered.In other words,starting from the two educational subjects,i.e.students and teachers,this paper will follow the principles of"consistency,"systematization,and dynamism in designing evaluation indicators.It,lastly,advocates the indicator content of"three attentiveness and one gaining"in the evaluation of teachers.All these efforts seeks to fully implement The General Plan for Deepening the Reform of Edu-cation Evaluation in the New Era in Minzu colleges and universities.
