Abstract

The large scale expansion of online courses has led to the crisis of course quality issues. In this study, we first established an evaluation index system for online courses using factor analysis, encompassing three key constructs: course resource construction, course implementation, and teaching effectiveness. Subsequently, we employed factor analysis and entropy weight TOPSIS multi-attribute decision analysis methods to comprehensively evaluate 541 courses. Later on, we conducted correlation and regression analyses between the evaluation results of these two methods and that of experts. The results reveal that the comprehensive evaluation scores derived from both factor analysis and entropy weight TOPSIS models exhibit a significant positive correlation with the experts'. Furthermore, the factor analysis model outperforms the entropy weight TOPSIS model in predicting experts' evaluation scores. The application of this model will help achieve timely and accurate course evaluation, and provide novel idea and approach for real-time monitoring of online courses quality.
在线课程质量评价模式的有效性比较
在线课程的大规模扩张引发了课程质量问题的危机。在本研究中,我们首先利用因子分析法建立了在线课程的评价指标体系,包括课程资源建设、课程实施和教学效果三个关键建构。随后,我们采用因子分析法和熵权 TOPSIS 多属性决策分析法对 541 门课程进行了综合评价。随后,我们将这两种方法的评价结果与专家的评价结果进行了相关分析和回归分析。结果显示,因子分析模型和熵权 TOPSIS 模型得出的综合评价得分与专家的综合评价得分呈显著正相关。此外,在预测专家评价分数方面,因子分析模型优于熵权 TOPSIS 模型。该模型的应用将有助于实现及时、准确的课程评价,并为实时监控在线课程质量提供新的思路和方法。
