Subsequently, various methods, including the principle of halves and the coefficient of variation, were applied for coarse and fine screening of indices, culminating in the development of a comprehensive index system for evaluating operations research teaching performance. The efficacy of the constructed model and index system was tested by assessing the performance of five operations research instructors. Key metrics such as teaching performance, student trust, and student interest were assigned the highest weights, with respective values of 0.153, 0.127, and 0.114.
