The questionnaire “Student Evaluation of Educational Quality” (SEEQ) from Marsh (1982, 2007) was adapted to German language and tested using assessments from 76,687 students in 3,660 university courses. Internal consistencies and intra-class correlations indicted a high reliability. Two-level CFAs and ESEM analyses confirmed the separability of all original SEEQ dimensions: learning and overall as product factors, and enthusiasm, organization/clarity, group interaction, individual rapport, breadth, examinations/grading, and assignments/readings as factors on the level of instructional behaviors. In this adaption, we additionally propose the quality of student contributions (extent to which contributions of fellow students are considered as helpful and whether they are effectively controlled by the instructor), especially for contexts (such as Germany) where student-directed teaching methods are prevalent. Additionally, we expanded the overall course rating by two items using a grade scale. These two adaptions are optional and the scale worked equally well without them. Measurement invariance across different types of courses was confirmed. Taken together, our findings indicate that the German adaption of the SEEQ measures teaching quality in accordance with established testing standards.

Developed countries regard preschool education as an important starting point and foundation for elite training. In recent years, preschool education has also attracted a growing attention in developing countries like China. Considering the significance of the teaching quality of preschool teachers to lifelong academic achievement, this paper designs a teaching quality evaluation model for preschool teachers based on deep learning. Firstly, a progressive system with a hierarchical structure was developed for the relevant evaluation indices. Then, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation of each index layer and evaluation criterion was determined by the principle of fuzzy relationship synthesis. Finally, an evaluation prediction model was established based on extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) algorithm and technology services’ ResNet (TS-ResNet), and proved effective and accurate through experiments. The research results provide a reference for the application of the proposed model in other evaluation prediction scenarios.
