Abstract

In the field of educational informatization, the imbalance between the inputs on infrastructure and the outputs on application has caused wide concern. One of the approaches to solving the problem is to change the orientation of the performance evaluation of educational informatization. Based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), this paper implements a basic educational informatization performance evaluation from both the inputs and the outputs perspective. The key factors accounting for the underperformance of some districts of Suzhou lie in the under-investment, the insufficient training programs and the shortage of time that students use computers. These districts should increase the spending on educational informatization and the number of training programs, and extend the length of time that students use computers.
