Abstract

This study constructs static and dynamic evolutionary game models between schools and teachers based on game theory to analyze their behavioral decision-making. The results reveal an incentive paradox between teachers and schools, where inappropriate incentives and penalties reduce the effectiveness of misconduct governance. After introducing positive social feedback parameters, the model shows that sufficient positive feedback will drive both parties to strictly fulfill their ethical and supervisory duties. Accordingly, this paper proposes targeted strategies: strengthening positive incentives, improving legal constraints, and optimizing supervision modes to build a long-term mechanism.
