Abstract

This research explored the factors influencing teaching quality in private colleges and universities in Shanghai and their theoretical foundations. It constructed a structural model of the influencing factors of teaching quality in these institutions and validates the research hypotheses and the model. Based on the findings, practical strategies are proposed to enhance the teaching quality in private colleges and universities in Shanghai, thereby assisting them in improving educational quality and cultivating more high-quality talents who can meet the needs of society.
Drawing on a substantial amount of relevant literature, this study systematically reviewed Total Quality Management (TQM), curriculum, and instruction theories, as well as research findings on teaching quality. By synthesizing these theories and research findings, a strong theoretical framework was established for the subsequent examination of the factors influencing teaching quality in private colleges and universities in Shanghai.
This study examined the impact of four factors on teaching quality in private colleges and universities in Shanghai, including teaching attitude, teaching content, teaching method, and teaching effectiveness. A quantitative research method was employed in this study. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed, with 337 valid responses received, yielding an effective response rate of 84.25%. The research reveals that these four factors have a significant influence on the teaching quality in these institutions. Based on the findings, the following suggestions are proposed for the institutions: (1) Strengthen the construction of teachers’ ethics and optimize teaching attitude. (2) Keep up with industry trends and update teaching content. (3) Conduct training and seminars to innovate teaching methods. (4) Improve the evaluation system to enhance teaching effectiveness.
