Abstract

This study addresses the development of lecturers’ performance evaluation system specifically designed for applied universities. It analyzes the existing lecturer’s performance evaluation system in applied universities in Shaanxi Province and highlights several problems based on facts. The current lecturer performance evaluation system in applied universities is very similar to the system used in research universities, and it is found not suitable for the special requirements of applied universities. The indicators used in the performance evaluation system suffer from problems such as excessive quantification, imperfection, rigidity, and dogmas that lack scientific rigor in practical application. Through the literature, the study found that there are not many researches on applied universities. However, the existing research lacks the following three parts. First, there is a lack of performance evaluation policies for applied university lecturers. Second, the performance evaluation indicators are not in line with the talent training goal of applied university. Third, as a feature of application-oriented undergraduate social service research is also very few. Based on this, the main objective of this study is to develop a performance evaluation system for applied university lecturers, taking into account the educational objectives and characteristics of applied university. In this study, semi-structured interviews are used to collect data from research participants to understand the existing performance evaluation system of applied university lecturers from different perspectives and how they think it can be improved. Then form an applied university lecturer performance evaluation system.
