Abstract: Balanced development has become a great development goal in today’s world including modern education. Due to the particularity of university teachers' performance, scientific evaluation system should aim at balanced development. There are still many problems in Chinese current evaluation system of colleges and universities, such as over-evaluating academic research and quantity and under-evaluate teaching and quality; paying great attention to common assessment while neglecting the differences between disciplines and positions; attaching importance to the achievement of group but paying insufficient attention to teachers' individual development, etc. Many aspects, including the influence of traditional management philosophy, the low level of scientific management and the eagerness for quick success and instant benefits lead to the above problems. Therefore, it is urgent for us to set up people-oriented evaluation idea and implement scientization of teachers’ performance appraisal index system to achieve colleges and universities’ internal balanced development.

Key words: university teachers, performance appraisal, balanced development, humanism
