高等教育的研究视角是多维度的，新制度主义就是其一。新制度主义自产生以来，就是一个蓬勃发展的理论新视角。本文就是以新制度主义的独特视角来研究我国的高校教师评价制度，以期探寻教师评价制度的生成和变迁的规律。 高校教师是我国高等教育建设的关键因素，其整体素质决定了高校的学术水平；只有高校教师队伍不断得优化和发展，才能提高我国的科技创新水平，培养更多更好的人才。教师评价制度作为考核教师的技术手段，发挥着重要的引导、监督和激励机制，影响着教师队伍的建设。高校教师评价制度是高校管理体制的重要组成部分，研究高校教师评价制度有着重要的现实意义和战略意义。 本文分析了我国高校教师评价制度的生成和变迁。以改革开放为起点，把我国的高校教师评价制度分为三个大的阶段：其一为改革开放至1985年；其二为1986年至1992年；其三为1993年至至今。不仅梳理了高校教师评价制度的相关法律法规，还通过对当时经济和政治的制度环境以及高校自身变迁的分析，来说明我国的高校教师制度生成和变迁是制度环境的产物，因旧制度的危机而是不断去制度化、建构新制度的过程。我国高校教师评价制度在每个发展阶段都有其特征，也有其矛盾点。正是因为外部和内部制度因素的冲突，或者制度内部因素的张力空间，使得我国的高校教师评价制度持续变迁。 在此基础上，又指出我国高校教师评价制度现在面临的合法性危机：我国高校教师评价制度体现浓厚的行政模式色彩；轻教学重科研和学术腐败；教师对高校教师评价制度的文化认同度低。最后，针对高校教师评价制度存在的问题，提出了高校教师评价制度变迁的有效途径,如建构政府与高校的新型关系；实行高校民主管理制度；高校组织文化的建立等。
