Study on the Construction and Evaluation System of Clinical Midwifery Teaching Faculty under the New Nursing Model

Objective:To explore the impact of the construction of a clinical midwifery teaching faculty and the development of an evaluation system under the new nursing model on the current teaching quality.Methods:From July 2022 to March 2023,10 clinical teaching teachers and 20 midwifery interns from Beijing Anzhen Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University were selected as the subjects of this study.The clinical teaching teachers and midwifery interns were divided into an observation group and a control group,with each group including 5 clinical teaching teachers and 10 midwifery interns.The observation group received daily management and evaluation under the new nursing model,while the control group received management and evaluation under the traditional nursing model.The teaching quality evaluation of clinical midwifery teaching teachers by midwifery interns,the exit exam scores of midwifery interns,and the scores of clinical teaching teachers’internship lectures and teaching rounds were compared between the two groups.Results:In the observation group,the scores for teaching attitude,teaching skills,and teaching management in the teaching quality evaluation of clinical midwifery teaching teachers were higher than those in the control group.The professional theory scores(91.28±3.64)and overall nursing comprehensive scores(92.56±4.38)of midwifery interns in the observation group were higher than those of midwifery interns in the control group(81.58±2.27 and 80.29±3.33,respectively).The scores for internship lectures(89.32±4.15)and teaching rounds(90.64±5.52)in the observation group were also significantly higher than those in the control group(80.46±3.28 and 81.24±4.38,respectively),and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The management of the clinical midwifery teaching faculty under the new nursing model effectively improved the quality of clinical teaching.It significantly enhanced the teaching effectiveness of clinical teaching teachers and the proficiency of midwifery interns in clinical operations,making it worthy of promotion and use.

Comparative Study of Faculty Evaluation of Teaching Practice between Chinese and U.S.Institutions of Higher Education

Along with the“massification”of higher education in China since the late 1990s,the issue of quality and excellence appeared at the top of China's higher education agenda.Since faculty evaluation of teaching is one of the major approaches adopted by China's higher education sector to pursue quality and excellence,it is valuable to examine the effectiveness of faculty evaluation of teaching practices adopted by the Chinese higher education institutions(HEIs).Study of current literature reveals some similarities and differences between the faculty evaluation of teaching policies and practices between Chinese and American higher education sectors.This paper examines the specific practices adopted by some top-tier Chinese HEIs and American elite colleges and universities,summarizes and analyzes the major differences and similarities of faculty evaluation of teaching practices between these two countries'top-tier HEIs,and discusses the applicability of the American models to the Chinese setting of higher education.Finally,a set of best practices regarding faculty evaluation of teaching are proposed for Chinese HEIs.
