A Study on the Online Teaching Input of Higher Education Teachers Based on K-Means Analysis

Online teaching has become an important form of regular teaching in higher education institutions,and teachers’input in online teaching is directly related to the quality of online teaching.A K-means cluster analysis of teachers’teaching behaviours in the online teaching platform of Sanya Aviation and Tourism College and a comparison of the mean values of each semester’s behaviours reveal that teachers’overall online teaching input is insufficient and their online teaching behaviours need to be optimized;their teaching energy has improved and their online teaching resources are more completed;their teaching emotional input is seriously lacking and their online interaction needs to be strengthened.To address these problems,the following measures can be taken:improve teachers’incentives to increase the overall investment in online teaching;change teachers’roles to strengthen the emotional investment in online teaching;and strengthen teachers’training to enhance online teaching design skills.
