ABSTRACT

Under the dual social environment of network society and real society, the social mentality of Generation Z college students presents multiple contradictory characteristics. These characteristics make Generation Z college students' expectations and evaluation of political teachers different from those of other generations. On the other hand, political teachers not only teach political theory, but also have the function of enlightening morality and educating students. The evaluation criteria for political teachers are different from those for professional teachers. This study collected college students' views on political teachers through open questionnaires and interviews, and used Atilas.ti9 qualitative analysis software to encode the questionnaire answers and interview records. According to the research, the expectations of Generation Z college students for political teachers include: creating emotional resonance with students, expanding students' knowledge field, guiding students' value expectations, and shaping students' daily behaviors. Generation Z college students will give higher evaluation to political teachers who meet the above expectations. The results of this study provide a basis for scientifically setting evaluation standards for political teachers. It is worth noting that although the needs of students are an important basis for teaching evaluation, teachers should not only cater to the needs of students, but also lead the needs of students.
