Research on Evaluation and Analysis Model of Graduation Attributes Attainment

Abstract

This article reveals a meta-analysis on the evaluation of the graduation attributes attainment for 22 domestic and foreign universities. Common problems can be concluded into the following four aspects: 1. Compared with the technical graduation requirement index points, the descriptions of non-technical index points were vague, and the measurability was generally poor. 2. The weight setting between different courses supporting the same index point was generally subjective. 3. According to the “Wooden Barrel Short Board Principle,” single use of the lowest value of the index points usually covered up the attainment of other index points of the similar graduation requirement. 4. The lack of information support in each section of the graduation attributes evaluation could result in heavy workload, low efficiency and weak teacher initiative. Based on the 12-year experience of engineering educational reformation in Dalian Neusoft University of Information (DNUI), this article proposes an evaluation and analysis model of graduation attributes attainment, on the basis of TOPCARES, supplemented by scientific and reasonable calculation methods and evaluation strategies. By analyzing the problems, discussing the optimization method and demonstrating the calculation, it is proved that the model can effectively solve the above common problems.
