The Performance Excellence Model adheres to principles that emphasize goal orientation, scientific rigor and systematicity, diversity of evaluation subjects, dynamic adjustability, and operability. It delves into an in-depth analysis of its compatibility with ideological and political education through reading, focusing on evaluation concepts, criteria, indicators, and outcomes. Based on this model, an evaluation index system for the construction of ideological and political education through reading in colleges and universities is constructed by integrating seven vertical dimensions and three horizontal levels.
