Optimizing the Student Evaluation System in Higher Education: A Comprehensive Approach from the Perspective of Student Experience

As an important component of the teaching quality assurance system at universities, students’ evaluation of teaching plays a pivotal role in implementing teaching quality monitoring. This paper first investigates the status quo of students’ evaluation of teaching at universities from the perspective of student experience; then critically points out issues such as the lack of student centrality, formalism in evaluation activities, uniformity in evaluation indicators, and the inadequacy of feedback mechanisms; finally, with a focus on student learning outcomes, it provides corresponding solutions following the approach of the PDCA cycle (“Plan”, “Do”, “Check” and “Action”), in order to build a student-based evaluation system of teaching performance. This paper is expected to bring into full play students’ evaluation in ensuring teaching quality, encourage teachers to improve teaching quality, and enhance the quality of undergraduate talent cultivation comprehensively.
