Teaching quality of universities is affected and restricted by many types of factors, thus evaluation of teaching quality of universities is of great importance to enhance teaching quality and ability. For this reason, this paper studies teaching quality of universities and proposes an evaluation model based on multi-index fuzzy decision analysis method. By analysing many factors that can affect the improvement of teaching quality of universities, an evaluation model of teaching quality with hierarchical structure is established and different types of evaluation indexes in this evaluation index system are normalized. On the basis of the Fuzzy system theory, Fuzzy memberships of relevant evaluation indexes are constructed, after which weights of these indexes are gained based on the entropy weight. And then a multi-index Fuzzy decision analysis matrix and related Fuzzy correlation degrees of universities’ teaching quality are generated. Therefore the level of teaching quality of universities is obtained. The paper also attempts to test the effectiveness of the proposed model and algorithm via specific case studies.
