TEACHING QUALITY MANAGEMENT PERCEPTIONS AND EMPLOYABILITY AMONG GRADUATES OF SINO-FOREIGN COOPERATIVE EDUCATION IN FUJIAN, CHINA

This research is based on the Internationalisation Process Orientation Theory of Knight (2015) in order to determine how teaching quality management perception influences the employability of graduates of Fujian Province’s “4+0” Sino-foreign cooperative education programmes, while assessing gender and major background differences. A total of 309 valid responses were collected. The results indicated that graduates’ teaching quality management perception scores generally remain at a moderate-to-high level (M=3.993, SD=.584), with a significantly higher employability performance (M=4.451, SD=.511). While no significant differences were found in the teaching quality management perception of genders or majors, there was a significant disparity between the employability of genders. The results of a correlation analysis revealed that and teaching quality management perception remained a significant positive predictor of employability. This study provides empirical evidence and policy insights for optimising teaching quality management and cultivating internationalised talents in Sino-foreign cooperative education programmes.
