The overall quality of university students is closely related to the teaching ability of university teachers. On the receiving end of education, the students directly experience and reflect the teaching level of their teachers. From the perspective of students, this paper investigates and analyses the teaching ability of university teachers, including teaching attitude, teaching philosophy, teaching design, teaching ability, teaching management and teaching effect. It is found that the university teachers keep a good teaching attitude, but need to improve their teaching philosophy, teaching design, teaching skill, teaching management and teaching effect. Several measures were put forward to improve the teaching ability of university teachers, such as renew the outdated ideas, improve the status of teaching, highlight students’ learning achievement, promote the independent development of university teachers’ teaching ability, perfect the evaluation system of university teachers, and improve the system of teacher training.
