ABSTRACT

After more than 30 years of development, the internal quality assurance of Chinese higher education has gradually formed a higher education quality assurance system that includes both external and internal guarantees, based on the quality management practices of foreign universities. However, the current teaching quality assurance system in Chinese universities has not been fully established. Due to differences in levels and educational directions, China's higher education, especially undergraduate education, does not have universal experience in quality assurance. Many local colleges and universities have problems such as narrow business scope, weak professional foundation, low comprehensive quality, and weak innovation ability. This study investigates and analyzes the quality assurance system of teacher education in Chinese applied undergraduate universities, reveals the main problems currently existing, and proposes improvement suggestions. According to survey data, about 75% of students and teachers believe that teaching quality needs to be improved, and about 60% of respondents point out the problem of uneven distribution of educational resources. Based on these data, this article proposes suggestions such as strengthening the construction of the teaching staff and optimizing the allocation of educational resources to improve the quality of teacher education. This study provides important references for education policy makers and university administrators.
