In undergraduate evaluation, field trip is one of the important links in the evaluation work. Field visits are usually completed by evaluation expert groups, and their main contents are as follows:
Campus facilities and environment: The evaluation expert group will make a field visit to the campus facilities and environment of the school, including classrooms, laboratories, libraries, sports facilities, student dormitories and canteens. The expert group will pay attention to the hardware conditions, use and maintenance of these facilities, and consider whether these facilities can meet the needs of teaching and learning.
Teaching and curriculum: During the field trip, the expert group will have an in-depth understanding of the school's teaching and curriculum. They will observe classroom teaching, communicate with teachers and students, and learn about teaching content, teaching methods and teaching effects. In addition, they will also pay attention to whether the school curriculum is reasonable and whether it can meet the learning needs and development direction of students.
Student development and support: the evaluation expert group will pay attention to the support and investment of the school in student development. They will learn about the school's enrollment policy, student scholarships and grants, and the school's support and investment in students' career planning, social practice and international exchanges. At the same time, they will also communicate with students to find out their satisfaction with school teaching and services.
Faculty: During the field trip, the expert group will have a deep understanding of the faculty of the school. They will communicate with teachers to learn about their teaching and scientific research, as well as their professional background and development direction. In addition, they will also pay attention to the school's policies and investment in teacher training and development.
Teaching quality and management: the evaluation expert group will also pay attention to the teaching quality and management of the school. They will understand the school's teaching quality assurance system, as well as the school's achievements and experiences in discipline construction, teaching research and reform. At the same time, they will also pay attention to the management efficiency and characteristics of the school, as well as the efforts of the school to provide students with a good learning and living environment.
Through on-the-spot investigation, the evaluation expert group can more comprehensively understand the school-running conditions, teaching level and school-running characteristics, and provide detailed basis for the subsequent evaluation report.
