Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of teaching quality assessment technology, and in particular to a teaching quality assessment method. Background Technology

[0002] Teaching quality assessment is a core component of educational management. Scientific and objective assessment results are of significant reference value for teacher improvement, school management decisions, and educational policy formulation. Traditional teaching quality assessment methods primarily rely on student exam scores and student questionnaires. These methods have the following problems: a lag – assessments based on student exam scores typically only yield results weeks or even months after the course ends, failing to provide real-time monitoring and timely feedback of the classroom teaching process; and subjectivity – student questionnaires are easily influenced by factors such as teacher-student relationships, student emotional states, and the appropriateness of questionnaire design, leading to significant subjective bias in the assessment results.

[0003] With the rapid development of computer vision technology, classroom teaching quality assessment methods based on object detection algorithms have gradually become a research hotspot. Existing technologies include methods that collect teaching videos in classroom settings and use YOLO series object detection algorithms to perform real-time detection and status analysis of students in the video frames. Specifically, these methods determine students' attention levels during classroom learning by detecting visual features such as head posture, eye state, and facial orientation, and then statistically analyze the proportion of students attentive in class, using this as a core indicator for evaluating the quality of classroom teaching. While these visual object detection-based teaching quality assessment methods address the issues of lag and subjectivity inherent in traditional methods, they still suffer from the following technical limitations: The assessment dimensions are too simplistic, and students' classroom focus is not constant but significantly influenced by various physiological and psychological cyclical factors. For example, students' physiological arousal levels vary across different periods each day. Students are generally at a low point in the first period of the morning and the first period after lunch break, making it difficult for them to concentrate; in the last period, students are at their peak of fatigue, naturally leading to a decline in focus. Furthermore, the proximity to the weekend affects students' psychological expectations. On Friday afternoons, students generally experience the "weekend expectation effect," making them easily distracted; while on Monday mornings, they suffer from "weekend syndrome," making it difficult for them to quickly get back into a learning mindset. Disruptive Factors from Unexpected Events: Classroom teaching takes place in an open environment, inevitably subject to disruptions from unexpected external events. For example, sudden snowfall, rain, thunderstorms, strong winds, and other weather changes can attract students' attention; sudden high-decibel noises outside the window (such as construction noise, vehicle horns, cheers from extracurricular activities, etc.) can interrupt students' thought processes. These unexpected events can significantly affect students' concentration, leading to an abnormal decline in student focus within a specific time period. Existing assessment methods fail to identify and eliminate the influence of these environmental distractions, simply attributing the decline in student focus caused by environmental factors to the teacher's teaching ability, resulting in biased assessment results. The influence of special teaching scenarios is not considered: In special teaching scenarios such as open classes, observation classes, and demonstration classes, the classroom teaching ecology is significantly altered due to the presence of observers (other teachers, curriculum researchers, school leaders, etc.). On the one hand, teachers may demonstrate more thorough preparation and a more energetic state than in regular teaching; on the other hand, students may exhibit higher discipline and concentration under the pressure of strangers observing their classes. This "open class effect" leads to significant differences between teaching performance in special scenarios and regular teaching. Simply comparing the evaluation results of such special scenarios with regular teaching will result in distorted evaluation results.
