A Study On The Impact Of College Teachers’ Evaluation On Teachers’ Professional Well-being

College Teachers’ professional well-being is an important index to measure the quality of teachers’ educational life and psychological survival,and thus plays an important role in teachers’ professional development,instruction quality and connotative development of colleges and universities.However,literature review shows that the focus of domestic researches has always paid attention to the professional survival of primary and secondary school teachers and studies on College teachers’ professional well-being are few,among which influencing factors of demographic variables,internal factors of personal psychology and external factors of working environment are frequently discussed.Although the salary and welfare of teachers and the determination of professional titles in demographic variables involve the use of college teachers’ evaluation,few literatures focus on the impact of teacher evaluation on teachers’ professional well-being.This study believes that college teachers’ evaluation is an important factor affecting teachers’ professional well-being,and tries to answer the following three questions: Is there a correlation between college teachers’ evaluation and teachers’ professional well-being? If so,is the correlation between the two positive or negative?Why? The research uses questionnaire to explore the impact of teachers’ evaluation on college teachers’ professional well-being from four aspects: evaluation criteria,evaluation types,data collection methods and evaluation use.This article consists of five chapters.Chapter 1 explains the reason why this research topic was chosen,the purpose,meaning,content and methods of the research.Chapter 2 introduces the theoretical foundation of the research,including the fourth generation of educational evaluation theory and teacher’s empowerment theory.Chapter 3 analyzes the positive impacts of teachers’ evaluation on college teachers’ professional well-being.The data shows:（1）Evaluation criteria attached great importance to both teaching and scientific research have a stronger influence on teachers’ professional well-being;（2）Evaluation results used for improvement of teaching and scientific research have stronger influence on teachers’ professional well-being.The reasons for the results are found to be that teaching and scientific research are both important in mobilizing teachers’ working emotions,and evaluation results used in professional improvement could enhance teachers’ job satisfaction.Chapter 4 analyzes the negative impacts of teacher’s evaluation on teacher’s professional well-being and the reason.The data shows:（1）Data collection solely in quantitative research will lower teachers’ professional well-being,which was low;（2）Formative evaluation will lower teachers’ professional well-being.（3）Evaluation results used only for grading the teachers will lower teachers’ professional well-being.There are two reasons for these problems.One is that single evaluation method will reduce the enthusiasm of teachers,and the other is that evaluation results used for rewards and punishments will affect the effectiveness of teachers’ work.Chapter 5suggests to strengthen the positive impacts of teachers’ evaluation on teachers’ professional well-being by establishing a new concept of evaluation focusing on promoting the professional development of teachers and an equal negotiation mechanism within multiple subjects.
