The Evaluation and Its Key Influencing Factors Analysis of “Double First-Class” Universities’ Teaching Efficiency in China Based on SBM-DEA and Its Visual Decision Analysis System Development

Abstract

Based on a systematical summary of relevant research on university teaching efficiency, an evaluation index system was built to evaluate teaching efficiency of “Double First-Class” universities in China. The evaluation model to evaluate the teaching efficiency of these universities was built based on Slack-Based Measure model using Superefficiency Data Envelopment Analysis (SBM-DEA). Teaching efficiency of 36 “Double First-Class” universities had been evaluated after their assessment indexes data had been collected. The influencing relations between the teaching efficiency of “Double First-Class” universities and dual prices of each evaluation index had been analysed. It had been proven that teaching efficiency could be greatly improved by increasing the index value with a higher double price. We proceeded to count the frequencies of evaluation indicators with the highest or the second highest dual prices. The indexes with higher total importance were defined as the key factors for the development of teaching efficiency in China’s “Double First-Class” universities. Several countermeasures had been proposed to improve the development of “Double First-Class” universities’ teaching efficiency. Finally, based on the above theoretical research, the evaluation and decision analysis software for teaching efficiency in “Double First-Class” universities in China had been developed by Visual Basic 2015 and MATLAB 2015 with Access database to store the data. It provides a convenient visualization tool to manage the data of the evaluation index system and make the data analysis of the SBM-DEA model.

Authenticity: Effective emotional labor strategies on teaching efficacy of university teachers in China

“…Nevertheless, teaching efficacy is crucial to teaching outcomes. It has been shown to have significant effects on job burnout [56], job satisfaction [57], organizational commitment [58], and turnover intention [59] and other variables among teachers, and is closely related to their emotional fluctuations [60]. Furthermore, teaching efficacy impacts students' academic achievement [61].…”

Was Chinese “Double-First Class” Construction Policy Influential? Analysis Using Propensity Score Matching

“…Shi et al [13] presented a similar study. Li et al [14] used the SBM-DEA evaluation model to evaluate the teaching efficiency across 36 "double first-class" universities. Wei and Zhang [15] compared the number of scientific publications by the "double first-class" universities from 2006 to 2018, and found that the absolute total number of articles published by Chinese universities increased in terms of quantity.…”
