    Adhering to the coordination and unity of independence and opening to the outside world is an important task for China to build a powerful nation of education and realize educational modernization; it is also the important orientation for internationalization of China’s higher education. China’s higher education needs to grasp its international positioning from three aspects. That is, we should promote the common value of education for all mankind based on our own development, provide a new option for the modernization of education in other countries through the successful practice of Chinese education and talent cultivation, and promote international exchange and cooperation with an equal perspective. This orientation of the internationalization of China’s higher education shed light on higher education development in other developing countries.

    A community with a shared future for mankind is a human society for the whole world, formed by the bond of the rise and fall, safety and risk, wealth and poverty, honor and disgrace of the countries and their populations, which means that countries are politically inseparable from each other and economically dependent on each other. Although it is a global governance initiative and practical solution with world pattern and value leadership proposed by China for the entire human society, the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind has gained wide response and support from the international community and has been hailed as a full embodiment of Chinese visionary approach to international cooperation, fair competition, and peaceful development relations. Based on the discussion of clarifying the relationship between higher education and the development of human society, this paper contends that promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind is a mission responsibility of higher education that cannot be abandoned, and suggests that strengthening the action of internationalization of higher education is the most effective path for higher education to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

    The strategic scientific and technological strength of universities is a crucial component of the national strategy for science and technology. Building such strength is vital to achieving China’s goals of scientific self-reliance and self-improvement, showcasing the advantages of the socialist system, and meeting the expectations of the CPC and the state for higher education. However, an analysis of the current strategic scientific and technological strength in Chinese universities reveals that there is a lack of alignment with national strategic needs, a dispersed and insufficient overall strength, and a failure to create a scientific research and innovation system that effectively addresses major needs and encourages the division of labor and collaboration. Based on the above problems, this study analyzes the mechanism of the formation and development of strategic scientific and technological strength in universities, proposes the theoretical framework of “one core, three dimensions, five forces”, and discusses how to reconstruct the strength from the government level, the higher education system level and the university level. This research suggests that the source, foundation, weight, and other key elements of the strategic scientific and technological strength of universities should be considered as standpoints to construct the national demand transmission mechanism, the classification of higher education, the discipline convergence and coordination mechanism, and the talent training mechanism.

    Based on the theory framework of technology-organization-environment (TOE), this paper explores the complex cause-and-effect mechanism affecting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities in 30 provinces, and explores the antecedent logic and the combination of antecedents that stimulate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in universities. The comparison show that there are four driving paths for high-tech achievement transformation, which are knowledge transformation capability of technology and environment coordination, talent innovation capability of technology and environment coordination, knowledge transformation capability of technology and environment coordination and talent innovation capability combination, financial supply capability and environment two-wheel drive. Among them, reasonable government regulation, public participation mechanism and regional large-scale innovation environment effectively enhance the type of connection opportunities between different driving modes. Based on the Chinese modernization, it is necessary to strengthen the systematic ability and institutional adaptability as the main line, build a institutional system and strategic environment more suitable for organized scientific research, in order to improve the overall efficiency of the transformation of scientific and technological in universities achievements.

    The School of Future Technology is taking the role of educating future innovators who would lead the advancement of future technologies and industrial transformation. From the combined perspectives of discipline/major and institutional characteristics, this paper categorized the 12 Schools of Future Technology into four kinds of pathways: the tendency to have particular majors with full-time faculty, the tendency to have particular disciplines, the tendency to integrate disciplines without full-time faculty, and the tendency to break discipline boundaries. No matter which pathway is adopted, the 12 Schools of Future Technology are innovating educational practices in terms of student selection, the design of study plan, the structure of curriculum, and the updating of educational ideas, which jointly contribute to transforming the educational paradigm of future innovators in China.

    Since the reform and opening up, the practice and exploration of cultivating top innovative talents in China’s colleges and universities have formed a number of national level policy designs, such as Special Class for Gifted Youths, Everest Plan, Pilot Reform Program of Enrollment for Basic Subjects. At the university level, a variety of models have been formed, such as the comprehensive training of youth classes, the training of top talents led by masters, the college system of strengthening general education, and the “universal top-notch” training focusing on the overall quality of undergraduate courses. But in practice, it also faces many challenges and implementation difficulties, such as national college entrance examination and independent selection of colleges and universities, early selection vision and practical training difficulties, national policy objectives and college training responsibilities, resource investment needs and public fairness challenges. In the process of further promoting the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, it is necessary to further improve relevant policies and regulations, implement the main responsibilities of colleges and universities, strengthen the overall coordination of the government, and improve the legitimacy, autonomy and synergy of the selection and training of top innovative talents, so as to comprehensively improve the quality of independent training of top innovative talents in colleges and universities.

    Graduate education is the interlock of education, science and talents. This qualitative research is a case study of the scientific research team - “Xiang Shan”. The findings illustrate the complex interactions between external environments and individual developments, demonstrating the ecosystem mechanism promoting the role of graduate students as vital forces in scientific research teams. Specifically, graduate students’ spirits of exploration and fulfilment are the internal engine; transformative leadership, as the microsystem, motives graduate students’ vitality; “Xiang Shan” team, as the mesosystem, constructs positive environments; the intergenerational inheritance of the culture of integration between industry and university, as the exosystem, assembles graduate students’ backup; the nation’s strategic needs, as the macrosystem, generates graduate students’ patriotism; and educational institutions of undergraduate-postgraduate integration and research-education nexus, as the chronosystem, lay a solid ground for graduate students’ knowledge and skills.

    The key to China’s transition from a major country to a powerful country is to achieve comprehensive breakthroughs in key core technology fields that are independent and controllable. Based on the theory of symbiosis, taking the field of integrated circuits as an example, a semi-structured interview was conducted to conduct in-depth research on the cultivation of high-level talents in university enterprise cooperation among 13 universities and 8 enterprises. The three-level coding analysis found that the deep collaboration between universities and enterprises in cultivating high-level talents in key core technology fields still faces deep challenges such as the “seemingly detached” selection of symbiotic units, the “connected but not aligned” construction of symbiotic models, and the “role absence” supported by symbiotic environments. Based on research findings, we aim to enrich the functions of symbiotic interfaces and improve the compatibility of symbiotic units; optimize the collaborative innovation ecosystem and promote the mixed phase transformation of symbiotic models; leverage the advantages of the national system and cultivate a positive symbiotic environment, we propose a practical approach for university enterprise cooperation in cultivating high-level talents in key core technology fields.

    Social science doctors are prone to a sudden decline in research output, which is detrimental to the career development of young university teachers in the context of the tenure system. This study is an attempt to explore the reasons why social science PhD students who are “highly productive” in their papers are “discontinued” after graduating as university teachers from a career development perspective. Using a qualitative research paradigm and a grounded theory approach, a purposive sample of 12 young faculty members in the field of social sciences was selected, and data were collected through interviews and later analyzed and organized in textual form. The study found that the external interference of research identity and academic community mechanism made it difficult to publish academic papers of social science PhDs, while the expectation bias effect and burnout lag effect in career development tied up the research development of social science doctors from the inside and terminated the paper output at the subjective level. The dilemma behind the research difficulties of social science doctors reveals serious problems in both the evaluation mechanism of research results and individual researchers. Therefore, it is necessary to re-examine the research dilemma of social science doctors from the perspective of career development and to establish a research evaluation mechanism based on the law of their career development. For social science doctors, they should have a scientific concept of career development while strengthening their research ability.

    In order to understand the current situation and influencing factors of social service participation of university teachers in China, this study investigated 1 206 college teachers in 36 universities nationwide. The results show that the social service participation of university teachers in China is generally low. There are differences in demographic characteristics (gender and age), personal work characteristics (teaching subjects, professional titles and talent titles) and organizational characteristics (school categories and levels) of teachers’participation in social service. The motivation, ability, cognition of job responsibility and perceived organizational support of university teachers to participate in social service will affect different types of social service participation. Therefore, teachers should consciously strengthen the ideological awareness of participating in social service, improve social service ability, and reasonably arrange the coupling development path of teaching, scientific research and social service. Universities need to improve the institutional norms of college teachers’ participation in social services. The government should strengthen policy support and provide mechanism guarantee.

    Under the background of the revision of the teacher law, it is necessary to fix the achievements of the reform of the teacher evaluation system in recent years in the form of law. As the assessment and evaluation standard stipulated in Article 29 of the Revised Draft of the Teachers’ Law (Draft for Comments) is closely related to the autonomy of colleges and universities and the basic rights of college teachers, it is an important provision in this round of teachers’ law revision, but the content of the current provision is relatively simple, so it is necessary to refine it. In the new era of comprehensively governing the country according to law, it is really necessary to introduce the meta regulation jurisprudence of law. Starting from the interaction between the meta regulation of law, the administrative regulation of the competent education department and the self-regulation of colleges and universities, it is necessary to give play to the top-level design role of law in leading the assessment and evaluation of college teachers. Therefore, the content of Article 29 of the Revised Draft of the Teachers’ Law (Draft for Comments) needs to be revised to meet the requirements of the meta regulation of the law.

    General education curriculum is an important carrier for the implementation of general education. The key to implementing the concept of general education is to construct a scientific and reasonable curriculum and to guarantee the good results of its implementation. Based on the analysis of the talent training programs of colleges and universities, it is found that the names of general education curricula vary from school to school, and the compulsory curricula between schools have strong commonality, with the tendency of disciplinarity and specialization. Besides, the credits of elective curricula are relatively limited, and the gradient of module settings is insufficient. Through in-depth investigation of the implementation effect of the curricula, the analysis of students’ autobiographical data and undergraduate transcripts shows that the fit between utilitarian mentality and loose assessment, the inhibition of non-demand knowledge on learning motivation, and the disregard of one-way teaching on students’ main body reflect students’ subjective learning feelings. In terms of objective learning performance, the grades of general elective curricula are overstated. In view of the above problems, this paper puts forward improvement suggestions from the aspects of the construction of the general education concept, the design of the curriculum system and the cultivation of general education teachers.

    Drawing on Astin’s Input-Environment-Outcome (I-E-O) theoretical model, this study explores the academic journey of first-generation medical undergraduates, using mixed cross-sectional data (2014—2021) constructed from consecutive years of undergraduate student surveys on a “Double First-Class” construction university in the East China. We found that first-generation medical undergraduates were significantly disadvantaged in terms of GPA and career planning compared to non-first-generation undergraduates. Student engagement and institutional engagement are still the core factors influencing the development of first-generation and non-first-generation medical undergraduates. Further examination revealed that the “Double First-Class” construction policy objectively bridged the differences in graduation planning between the two types of medical undergraduates. This study suggests that promoting the construction of “Double First-Class” in medical majors by focusing on disadvantaged undergraduates, particularly first-generation medical undergraduates, in terms of academic performance and postgraduate expectations, and by emphasizing faculty-student interaction and high-impact educational activities, providing corresponding academic career planning guidance.

    As the rapid rise of digital technologies such as big data, block chain and artificial intelligence, which has brought human society into the digital era, the digital transformation of vocational education is imperative. The digital transformation of vocational education is not just a technical innovation, what’s more,?it is the transformation and transition of humanism and paradigm that uses digital technology to construct a new pattern of vocational education. The digital transformation of vocational education is a systematic revolution for constructing a new order in vocational education and a strategic choice for the high-quality development of vocational education. The starting point and goal of digital transformation on vocational education are the development of human, economic, and social development. It promotes the integration and coexistence of humanity, society, technology, and education in the physical and digital worlds through value remodeling, relationship restructuring, and system reforming. The digital transformation of vocational education focuses on connecting resources, integrating development and highlighting practicality, and it also puts the emphasis on strengthening multi-modal perception and interaction. The digital transformation of vocational education needs to build a digital twin operation system of vocational education to promote strategic synergy. Meanwhile, it needs build a data-driven business value system to promote process informatization, and build digital basic capabilities in vocational colleges to promote intelligent operation.

    Deepening the integration of industry and education in vocational education is not only a rational response to the cross-border attributes of vocational education, but also a positive response to the national development strategy. Along with the rapid growth of “park economy”, the mode of matching vocational education with industrial parks has gradually become a more precise choice of integration mode, and has derived the “integration park carrier” mode, “vocational education park carrier” mode, and “industrial park carrier”. However, a review of the practice of the “park model” of integration of vocational education with industry and education reveals that problems such as the lack of specialised institutions to promote the “park model” at the organisational level, the lack of institutional support at the institutional level, and the lack of long-term motivational mechanisms at the motivational level, are obstacles to the implementation of the “park model”. The road to the implementation of the “park model” has been blocked. In the future, a strong organisational structure, an efficient and flexible operational mechanism, a stable and reliable working team, practical integration tasks and a diverse and appropriate evaluation system can be set up to facilitate the full and in-depth implementation of the “park model” for the integration of vocational education and industry.
