Research On The Curriculum Setting And Teaching Evaluation System Of Mathematics Majors In Colleges And Universities
This comprehensive study investigates key aspects of mathematics education in higher education institutions, focusing on curriculum effectiveness, teaching practices, and faculty challenges. The research delves into the perceptions of mathematics majors, examining demographic profiles, curriculum efficacy, instructional quality within teaching evaluation systems, and challenges faced by faculty in implementing innovative teaching methods. Demographic analysis reveals a diverse participant group, with a balanced representation across age groups, genders, and educational backgrounds. Notably, faculty members with varying teaching experiences contribute to a nuanced understanding of challenges within the mathematics major. Findings highlight strong consensus among mathematics majors on the effectiveness of the current curriculum, emphasizing its role in academic success and professional application. The study underscores the importance of curriculum redesign to align with industry demands and foster real-world problem-solving skills. Positive perceptions of teaching evaluation systems affirm their impact on instructional quality, learning outcomes, and overall teaching practices in mathematics courses. Challenges faced by faculty, particularly time constraints and resistance to change, signal the need for targeted support programs. The study proposes InnovateMath, a transformative program aiming to revitalize curriculum design, promote innovative teaching, and address faculty challenges. The program emphasizes collaboration, technology integration, and ongoing support networks to enhance mathematics education.
