A cluster flight is carried out on evaluation results of students. Results show that X2-2, X2-4, X2-5, and X4-3 represent high degree of centrality and high degree of cause, that is high importance of factor and the cause factor. The results of teacher evaluation can be divided into three groups by the K-means clustering method, and the clustering group shows significant significance for all research items (p < 0.05). The weights of X2-2, X2-4, X2-5, and X4-3 in cluster analysis also rank the top four, which is highly consistent with the results of DEMATEL’s research, demonstrating that application of DEMATEL and Cluster technology proposed is very maneuverable and scientific. Research results have important reference value for improving online teaching strategy, improving the quality of online teaching, and regulating teaching activities as a whole through the use of online teaching quality evaluation.
