Evaluation of teaching effectiveness in higher education based on social networks

The evaluation of educational and teaching effectiveness is beneficial for universities to understand the current teaching situation, formulate reasonable teaching strategies, and improve teaching quality. Therefore, a social network-based evaluation method for educational and teaching effectiveness in universities is proposed. First, we analyse the role of teaching effectiveness evaluation and design the principles for constructing a teaching effectiveness evaluation index system. Then, we calculate the entropy matching degree of evaluation indicators, set consistency criteria for evaluation indicators, and use SVM algorithm to classify evaluation indicators, constructing an evaluation indicator system. Finally, we construct a social network for teaching effectiveness evaluation, determine the subgroup cohesion of evaluation indicators, construct an education and teaching effectiveness evaluation function, and obtain the evaluation results. The experimental results show that the confidence level of the evaluation results of this method is high, and the matching error of the entropy value of the evaluation indicators is low. © 2024 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
