Evaluation System Design for Application of Innovative Teaching Methods in Major of Construction Management: Case Study in a University of Finance and Economics
Publication: ICCREM 2018: Construction Enterprises and Project Management
ABSTRACT
At present, the attention degree of Chinese higher education to students’ comprehensive development ability is significantly raised. Cross-disciplinary and cross-scenario cross-education patterns have become a new development direction. As a typical interdisciplinary specialty, major of construction management is gradually introducing innovative teaching methods such as workshop, flipped classroom, peer instruction. However, the current domestic application of these teaching methods has not formed a systematic evaluation system. Based on the application of four innovative teaching methods in major of construction management, this research screens evaluation indicators of teaching effect which is in line with the major, and uses analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and Delphi expert scoring method to get a set of measurable, quantitative evaluation indicator system. Finally, taking major of construction management in a university as a case, the validity of the evaluation system is tested.
