Design of an integrated evaluation system for innovative education in colleges and universities based on the gray comprehensive evaluation method

This paper uses hierarchical analysis and gray comprehensive evaluation to quantitatively evaluate the level of integration of innovation education in colleges and universities, and for this purpose, the evaluation system is first designed. The B/S structure model is employed to construct the system, which is divided into seven modules. Within the evaluation module, the evaluation index system is first constructed, combined with questionnaires and other means, the weights are calculated using the hierarchical analysis method, and then the level of innovative education in colleges and universities is quantitatively evaluated using the gray comprehensive evaluation algorithm. Three schools were tested for empirical analysis after the system design was completed. The trial situation of each school shows that the indicators of publicity report and achievement transformation each have 20%~40% poor evaluations, in addition to the indicators of grade ranking and the status of relatives' business enterprises have 40% very poor evaluations. The innovation and entrepreneurship competition in the 'process quality' competition received a score of approximately 62 points, which is generally low. The average score for 'quality of results' is typically lower than 70, with a lower average score for 'innovation and entrepreneurship' at 63.95 points. The system is functioning well and able to examine the challenges in the school's innovation education.. © 2023 Yun Zhou and Shiyu Yang, published by Sciendo.
