    Science education is the proper meaning of education. Teenagers are an important period to cultivate scientific interest, experience scientific process and develop scientific spirit. To cultivate young people’s scientific literacy, we should first improve teachers’ scientific literacy and bring scientific spirit into the teacher training process. This is the requirement of implementing the fundamental task of Building Morality and Cultivating People. It is of great significance to fundamentally improve the overall quality of teachers, improve and enhance the quality level of science education, effectively integrate and strengthen the teaching force of science education and cultivate scientific and technological innovation talents. To implement the project of improving teachers’ scientific quality, we should give full play to the role of the mother machine of normal education, speed up the promotion of first-class comprehensive universities to hold normal education and set up “science education” majors, strengthen the construction of science teachers, comprehensively improve the professional level of science teachers, implement the plan of improving teachers’ scientific quality, encourage first-class scientists and first-line scientific research teams to participate in the research and practice of science education, innovate the training of science education teachers through the integration of science and education, improve the ability of teachers to implement science education by using off campus science and technology resources, and strengthen the scientific popularization teachers in rural schools and rural communities, as well as strengthen the baton of “bringing the scientific spirit into the teacher training process”.

    Based on the realistic requirements of high-quality development of higher education and concept comparison of high-quality, high-level and convolution development, the paper puts forward that the high quality focuses on the value and ability of higher education system to meet the actual needs. Based on the integrated framework featured “value emergence”, this paper try to construct the higher education system from the aspects of function, structure and elements. Looking into the contrast between “prosperity of explicit development index” and “poor inherent ability” in current higher education, the paper puts forward that high-quality higher education system should adhere to moral cultivation, promote knowledge development and social progress, and realize the emergence of functions from “adaptation” to “support” and then to “leading”, commit to the formation and development of strategic scientific and technological forces. Following the logic that higher education system is an organic whole, the paper holds that the layout structure should transit from structural imbalance to balanced focus, and the type structure should develop from homogeneity to diversity. Finally, the paper emphasizes that the regulation based on tool rationality should be promoted to the governance based on value rationality, and the specialization of president management should be taken as the key to activate the internal and external governance system of universities. This paper also discusses the reconstruction of grassroots academic organization and activation of academic heartland, to activate the factors of high quality higher education system.

    Cognizing what defines an outstanding engineer in the new era from the perspective of key competencies is the starting point of educational activities. Combining recent studies on key competencies and first-hand data collected via symposiums and field research, this study adopted the grounded theory approach to investigate outstanding engineers’ key competencies in the new era. Results show that benchmarking competencies, domain-specific competencies, generic competencies, as well as outstanding competencies constitute key competencies of outstanding engineers, which can further be divided into 14 sub-competencies. Also, this study found that “outstanding” is represented by continuous and dynamic development of key competencies to take responsibilities for national density, rather than static requirements of learning outcomes. Therefore, competency-based and modularized curriculum design, university‐industry cooperation combined with the bachelor-master integrating reforms, as well as well-structured ethics education might contribute to accelerating the form of world-class engineer education paradigm with Chinese characteristics.

    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    The phenomenon of “incomplete practice” in the cultivation mechanism of excellent engineers is an important issue that needs to be addressed in Engineering education at present. This study conducted in-depth interviews with students, teachers and enterprise managers in the excellent engineer class by using the grounded theory. It is believed that “subject - content - condition - strategy” is the main dimension of “incomplete practice”. From the subject dimension, the deviation of participants’ goals and attitudes is the starting factor; From the content dimension, the traditional mode of teaching system design, the practice arrangement is not comprehensive, and the enterprise needs are not connected; From the condition dimension, the insufficient support from schools and the limited conditions of enterprises are the process factors of this phenomenon; From the strategic dimension, the simple form of assessment, the inadequate incentive mechanism and the single mode of practice are the negative factors. These four dimensions not only reflect the actual behavior of the participants in engineering practice, but also provide some reference value for cultivating and motivating students to actively participate in engineering practice in the future.

    Student engagement is a key concept in the field of undergraduate development, and examining the impact of social emotional skills on it can provide an important basis for improving the quality of higher education. By analyzing the survey data of undergraduates’ study experience in four research universities, it’s found that openness to experience, conscientiousness, grit and other social emotional skills have a significant positive impact on students’ engagement, and the effect of grit is particularly prominent. The impact of social emotional skills on students’ engagement has significant differences in different genders, majors, and hometown. Besides, in the field with higher environmental support, social emotional skills such as openness to experiences and grit have a stronger impact on students’ engagement. Therefore, research universities should pay attention to the development of undergraduates’ key social emotional skills from the perspective of training objectives, curriculum development, community activities and teacher-student communication, and ensure that undergraduates’ social emotional skills will play a greater role in the learning field with high-quality courses, multi-dimensional interaction and abundant resources.

    In order to have a thorough understanding of the current situation of industry-education integration reform in China and promote it, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of 103 typical cases selected in the “Double Hundred Plan for University-Enterprise Cooperation” of China Higher Education Expo 2020. The research found that the outstanding problems existing in the current industry-education integration reform are as follows: In terms of project objectives, talent cultivation is the main objective. In terms of implementation, the enthusiasm of universities to participate in the integration is much higher than that of enterprises, and the cooperation types of the industry-education integration are diversified. The breadth and depth of cooperation are important factors for the sustainable development of industry-education integration.Quality evaluation is the fundamental guarantee for continuous improvement of production-education integration. In order to solve the problem of part of the projects deviate from the fundamental goal of education, the breadth and depth of cooperation is not enough and the lack of quality monitoring and evaluation mechanism, the target should be set as a guide to establish a long-term effective industry-education integration mechanism, collaborative innovation should be made as a basis to build an industry-education integration ecological system, and multiple dimensions should be regarded as a principle to establish evaluation system.

    Postgraduate textbooks are the fundamental basis for teachers to teach and students to learn in the process of postgraduate course teaching, and their quality determines the quality of postgraduate teaching, which in turn affects the quality of postgraduate training. Senior teachers in colleges and universities are the main body of textbook compilation and selection for postgraduates in the United States. Textbook publishers, college teaching and learning centers and project plans assist first-time college teachers in the compilation and selection of textbooks. In the process of compiling and selecting postgraduate textbooks, four factors, including teacher appointment, curriculum development, teaching evaluation and institutional regulations, ensure the academic quality of American postgraduate textbooks. Based on this, combined with the current practice of postgraduate textbook construction in China, a system for the compilation, management and use of postgraduate textbooks for colleges and universities that reflect the characteristics of higher education in China should be established and improved; Colleges and universities coordinate the construction of postgraduate textbooks and ensure that postgraduate textbooks are politically and academically related; improve teachers’ teaching quality and give full play to teachers’ autonomy in selecting postgraduate textbooks; implement the work of incorporating teachers’ participation in postgraduate textbook construction into the teacher assessment and evaluation system; pay attention to the guiding role of institutional norms and strictly control the quality of postgraduate textbooks.

    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    It is of great significance to reform publishing requirements during doctoral candidature to cultivate high-level top-notch innovative talents and promote the double first-class university plan. Training doctoral students in research universities in the United States has important implications for the quality assurance of postgraduate training in China. The study found that the economics schools of American research universities do not regard the publication of academic papers as a mandatory requirement for doctoral degrees. Approximately a quarter of the Ph.D. candidates in economics in the sample published academic research during their doctorate in SCI/SSCI journals, particularly in their senior year. The publication of high-quality papers can improve the possibility of doctoral graduates entering universities or scientific research institutions, while the number of publications has no significant impact on their entry into faculty positions. Thus, colleges and universities should focus on the “process” over “results” in the training of doctoral students’ scientific research ability, doctoral students should focus on the “quality” over “quantity” of research output, and the academic labor market should focus on the “ability” over “form” in the evaluation of research skills.
