Abstract :
Teaching evaluation is an effective measure to improve the teaching quality, promote teachers´ teaching level, and achieve the scientific and systematic management for faculty. In this paper, we present a model of teaching evaluation in adult higher education based on decision tree, aiming to mine the valuable knowledge from the data of teachers´ evaluation and archives in teaching quality evaluation system. Firstly, we analyze the shortcomings of the ID3 algorithm and make some corresponding improvement. Secondly, we introduce the procedure of the model including the specific ways. Lastly, we carry on a case study by the presented model to demonstrate the feasibility of the model. The results show that the proposed method is feasible and can help teaching management personnel for scientific decision-making and improving teaching quality.
