The growing popularity of art majors is overshadowed by the difficulty for art graduates to find a decent job. The teaching and research (T&R) performance of art majors should be evaluated comprehensively, such as to optimize resource allocation and improve teaching quality. Based on performance evaluation theory and input-output theory, this paper summarizes the features, problems and problem causes of performance evaluation for art majors. From the dimensions of teaching and research, a comprehensive index system was designed for T&R performance evaluation of art majors. On this basis, a performance evaluation model was constructed for art majors through principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, single-factor evaluation and comprehensive evaluation were conducted by our model on the T&R performance of the school of art design and school of industrial design in a university. The results show that: The performance evaluation of art majors is a small-scale yet complex and professional task, but the current evaluation methods lack sufficient attention, professionality, and targeted indices. The school of art design had a slightly higher ratio of excellent theses than the school of industrial design, reflecting the difference between the two schools in teaching results and quality. The school of industrial design invested much more than the school of art design. Both schools had improved the T&R outputs and comprehensive performance score since 2011, and the school of industrial design made the greater improvement in the comprehensive performance score. The research sheds new light on comprehensive evaluation of T&R performance in art majors.

Research Performance Evaluation

This study proposes super efficiency (SE) as an efficient analytical method for evaluating the performance of energy research projects. Because the SE method is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA), it is free from the difficulty of weighting output, allows for the use of variables with diverse standards of measurement, and is capable of providing ranking information that regular DEA (CCR, BCC) analysis techniques cannot. To analyze the feasibility of the DEA-SE method, an efficiency evaluation was performed for energy research projects using both the weighting method as an existing method and the SE method. When the results were compared and analyzed, skewing toward particular output types was observed in the weighting method, owing to problems inherent in the method itself and in the weighting of subordinate variables that make up the total performance score. Therefore, adopting DEA-SE will redress the known problems of the weighting method by minimizing the problems of weighting and skewing in outputs, enabling use of the input and output variables with diverse units and standards of measurement, and providing ranking information of research performance evaluation that is unobtainable with the existing DEA method.

Teaching Ability

With the continuous development of school teaching quality, the measurement of the current teaching ability level has become a concern of people. This research mainly discusses the comprehensive evaluation of the teaching ability level based on the network communication environment. This study uses fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method to comprehensively evaluate the system. First, obtain the representative evaluation standards of education informatization and a series of indicators related to informatization teaching at home and abroad; secondly, conduct a comprehensive analysis of the various evaluation standards and related indicators of informatization teaching that have been obtained; finally, the process in each indicator is discussed and revised by experts and relevant information technology teachers, and a number of schools are selected to conduct small-scale experimental evaluation experiments to form information-based teaching evaluation indicators. In this study, the proportion method is used to calculate the membership degree of each observation index based on the recovered data and establish the fuzzy relationship matrix of each evaluation factor. Paying attention to the level of index weights can guide the development direction of informatization teaching and promote the healthy development of informatization teaching. Therefore, this article uses the expert scoring method combined with the analytic hierarchy process to determine the weights in the evaluation index system. There is a significant difference between teachers in urban areas and teachers in rural areas ( p < 0.05 ). The ratio of each grade of the teacher’s informatization teaching ability comment collection is “bad 0.5%,” “relatively poor 5.7%,” “normal 35.3%,” “good 53.1%,” and “excellent 5.3%.” This research will help promote the improvement of school teaching quality.

This paper first introduces the relevant content of fuzzy theory system and expounds the relevant knowledge of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation in fuzzy theory. In this paper, an evaluation system for the teaching of environmental art design specialty based on the integration of production, teaching and research is established to provide scientific basis for the exploration and control of the teaching mode, and a fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model is established on the basis of the index system. Through the methods of literature retrieval, real data analysis and expert interview, 14 factors influencing the level of classroom teaching were collected, and questionnaires were distributed to teachers to collect the factor weight data, and these data were sorted out and calculated to obtain the weight indicators at all levels. Through the collection of online teaching evaluation data, the fuzzy evaluation matrix of each level index is calculated, and the matrix is combined with the corresponding weight vector to establish the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. Finally, the teaching evaluation results of the integrated mode of production, teaching and research are as follows: 74.8% are excellent, 12.6% are good, 7.1% are medium, and only 5.5% are poor. Through the above results, it can be concluded that the teaching effect of the integration mode of production, teaching and research is excellent.

Green infrastructure practices could provide innovative solutions for on-site stormwater management and runoff pollution control, which could relieve the stress of nonpoint pollution resulting from heavy rainfall events. In this study, the performance and cost-effectiveness of six green infrastructure practices, namely, green roofs, rain gardens, pervious surfaces, swales, detention basins, and constructed wetlands, were investigated. The comprehensive performance evaluation in terms of the engineering performance, environmental impact, and economic cost was determined in the proposed engineering–environmental–economic (3E) triangle model. The results revealed that these green infrastructure practices were effective for stormwater management in terms of runoff attenuation, peak flow reduction and delay, and pollutant attenuation. It was suggested that for pollution control, detention basins can efficiently reduce the total suspended solids, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and lead. The implementation of detention basins is highly recommended due to their higher engineering performance and lower environmental impact and economic cost. A case study of a preliminary cost–benefit analysis of green infrastructure practice exemplified by the Pearl River Delta in China was addressed. It suggested that green infrastructure was cost-effective in stormwater management in this area, which would be helpful for sustaining healthy urban watersheds.
