Abstract

The purpose of this study is to enhance the structure and substance of undergraduate teaching quality reports by drawing insights from a comparative analysis with the University of California's annual accountability reports. Through literature review and comparative analysis, the study examines the strengths and weaknesses of current reporting practices. Key findings reveal gaps in the indicator framework, depth of content, presentation of social services, and lack of forward-looking plans in existing reports. Drawing from these observations, the study offers targeted recommendations to inform the refinement of undergraduate teaching quality reports.
