.360 Degree Feedback In The Performance Evaluation Of College Teaching

This research aims to probe into the 360-degree feedback of the multi-source evaluation technique, which could be used in the teaching performance evaluation about college teacher. Some methods, such as psychometrics, analytic hierarchy process of human resource management, and multi-source feedback evaluation are used in this research, the following conclusions are induced:The first study developed "the scale of teaching performance assessment about college teacher" which contains 30 items and 4 sub-scales. The sub-scales are the teaching goal, teaching attitude, teaching skill and teaching manner. Each sub-scale has different numbers. Analyze the reliability and validity of the scale with SPSS 11.5 and AMOS 5.0. Both the homogeneity reliability and split-half reliability of the scale achieve 0.9, and the correlation between each sub-scales and summation achieves 0.8. The result indicates that the reliability and validity of the scale achieve the psychometric criterion. The scale could be applied to the teaching performance evaluation about college teacher.The second study relates to the application of 360-degree feedback. Select 15 public English teachers from 5 universities. Evaluate their teaching performances by their leaders, craft brothers, students and themselves. Retracts 561 effectual questionnaires. According to the analysis, each group valuators have different results from others. Leaders' evaluation results are inferior to others significantly on the. third and four factors.The third study introduces quantification measurement method which uses the analytic hierarchy process to define measurement target and the weight of various groups of valuators, is built under the basis as 360-degree feedback performance measurement. It can deal the performance measurement result quantificational. The study reveals that teaching attitude and teaching skill factors weight 39%, more than the other two in "the scale of teaching performance assessment about college teacher". The student weights 50%, more than other groups of valuators.It's suggested that interrelated directions should be used to teacher training according to the conclusions. 360-degree feedback could improve college teachers' job performance.
