Abstract: With the rapid development of society, ideological and political education courses have occupied a very important position in various courses in major universities, playing a series of important functions and roles in student quality education, excellent quality cultivation, and other aspects. In the new era, the evaluation and assessment of ideological and political education quality is not only the primary factor to improve the teaching quality of ideological and political education courses in universities, but also an important means to promote the deepening reform of ideological and political education. However, there are many problems in the process of evaluating the quality of ideological and political education in colleges and universities at present, such as the deviation in understanding the importance of evaluation, the relatively single evaluation method, and the low quality of application of evaluation results. The teaching quality evaluation of ideological and political courses in universities is a classical multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM). Spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs) provide more free space for decision makers (DMs) to express preference information during the teaching quality evaluation of ideological and political courses in universities. Therefore, this paper we first extend partitioned Maclaurin symmetric mean (PMSM) operator and IOWA operator to SFSs and develop induced spherical fuzzy weighted PMSM (I-SFWPMSM) operator. Subsequently, a new MAGDM method is established based on I-SFWPMSM operator and SFNWG operator under SFSs. Finally, a numerical example for teaching quality evaluation of ideological and political courses in universities is used to illustrate the proposed method.
