Paper Abstract:
|
COVID-19 pandemic has led to the confrontation of higher education system with enormous challenges. This
necessitated the urgent transition from face-to-face teaching to online teaching. A comparative study of digital education
in seven different countries was conducted. This study established grey comprehensive evaluation model based on
entropy weight method, which was successfully validated by reliability test. In general, developed countries tend to have
high comprehensive evaluation value while Finland, South-Korea and Latvia have relatively low grey correlation
coefficient in several certain indicators, leading to a sharp drop in the overall score. Romania ranked last while China
ranked second as a developing country as well. This is followed by model optimization though input-output analysis
method based on the upgrading of higher education system due to the pandemic's influence. The study launched a
conclusion that research and development personnel, infrastructure funds and university financial investment in digital
education have relatively more obvious effects on improving the quality of higher education system. |
