Humanities-oriented Teachers' Scientific Research Performance Evaluation System in Missouri State University and Its Enlightenment

American colleges and universities have established a complete and rigorous humanities-oriented teachers' scientific research performance evaluation system to ensure the quality of higher education. Teachers' scientific research performance evaluation refers to the evaluation on teachers' performance in scientific research work and putting forward suggestions and planning for teachers' future scientific research development provided that teachers' scientific research work level has been known. Taking Missouri State University as an example, this paper makes a detailed introduction of relevant status of the evaluation system from six perspectives such as the evaluation subject, evaluation object, evaluation purpose, evaluation standard, evaluation rules and evaluation method, with a view to provide reference for humanities-oriented teachers' scientific research performance evaluation in Chinese colleges and universities.
