Evaluation System of Scientific Research Performance for Teachers of Humanities in American Colleges and Universities and Its Enlightenment

The United States is the first country in the world to establish a scientific research performance evaluation system for the teachers of humanities, experiencing the whole process from the exploration period to the practice period. Its evaluation subjects are extremely pluralistic, the evaluation standards are different in disciplines, the evaluation indexes are both scientific and objective, and the evaluation methods are professional. Combined with the problems existing in the evaluation of scientific research performance of humanities teachers in colleges and universities in China, and the successful experience of that in American universities, it is proposed that, in the process of constructing the evaluation system of scientific research performance of university teachers in China, it is necessary to highlight the independent evaluation status, strengthen the flexible evaluation criteria, build a detailed index system and a perfect evaluation method.
