The enhancement of the teaching quality assurance system is crucial for the academic standards and strategic direction of independent colleges. With the student evaluation system becoming the most widely used tool for monitoring teaching quality in higher education, the development and refinement of this system are paramount. This paper, grounded in the widely adopted “student-centered” educational philosophy in Chinese universities, investigates the challenges encountered in constructing a student evaluation index system. Employing methods such as literature review, questionnaire surveys, and focus group discussions, it analyzes the current student evaluation practices at Independent College W, identifies the key issues hindering the establishment of a “student-centered” evaluation system, and suggests ways to foster this approach in student evaluations. The paper aims to make a significant contribution to the development and enhancement of the student evaluation index system under the “student-centered” educational philosophy in Chinese independent colleges.
