    From a big country in higher education to a leading country in higher education, China has innovated theory and practice from bringing out the full potential of higher education to its high-quality development. With respect to becoming a leading country in higher education, its goals and tasks are much more definite, ideas and models are much clearer, and understandings and paths are much more confident. Entering a new era, China’s higher education has significant achievements with scale growth, structure optimization, and fairness promotion. As a result, its quality assurance and upgrading advanced effectively. Accelerating the building of a leading country in higher education, it is necessary to strengthen the systems thinking and dialectical thinking by identifying the objective and improving educational function, grasping the law of education and changing the way of development, appropriately expanding the scale and optimizing the hierarchical structure, strengthening overall planning and coordination and promoting fairness in education, building an open plateau and promoting international exchanges, so as to make a contribution on the goal of a leading country in education, science and technology, and talent.

    Examining from the perspective of micro-level activities and practices, the relationship among education, science and technology, and talents mainly concerns the talent cultivation function of education. But this is not the whole story of educational activity, and school education does not and cannot directly produce established talents. It focuses on the development of human potential, the cultivation of talents according to their inherent qualities, interests and preferences, providing a large number of potential talents to society in a diversified way. As a result, students should be brought closer to the life and the world of work at different stages of their education, understand the connotations of science and technology, combine their individual potential and career development needs, and consciously engage in learning in STEM fields. This is the basic path of communication between education and science and technology. School education focuses on the training of intelligence for all, not for a few, and both schools and society need to pay attention to the development of individuals on the premise of equal opportunity, allow them to develop their abilities and achieve their goals, and create a healthy cultural atmosphere of talents and education.

    Research on the Influencing Mechanism of Faculty’s Research Preferences on Research Innovation
    CAI Honghong
    2023, 39(10): 25-32. https://doi.org/10.16298/j.cnki.1004-3667.2023.10.05

    Faculty’s endogenous preferences are an important drive of research innovation. Through the survey and analysis of 3 113 teachers from 41 “Double First-Class” construction universities, it was found that university teachers had strong research preferences, but the innovation of their scientific research was less desirable; the positive effect of research preferences on research investment was limited; research preferences could not only directly affect their research innovation, but also exert an indirect effect through strengthening research investment, and the former was greater than the latter; academic institutional identity didn’t have a significant effect on teachers’ research investment; the interaction of research preferences and academic institutional identity didn’t have a significant effect on faculty’s research investment, but there was a substitution effect between the two in the process of influencing research innovation, and the direct effect of research preferences on research innovation was gradually weakened as the level of faculty’s academic institutional identity increased. Research preferences played a stronger role in influencing faculty’s research innovation than the external academic system. The study gains some insights into safeguarding faculty’s research preferences, promoting research innovation and cultivating innovative talents.

    Empirically Complex Correlation Between Interdisciplinary Experiences and Academic Outputs: Taking “Outstanding” Scholars in the Fields of Chemistry, Mathematical Physics, and Life Sciences as Examples
    SUN Na
    2023, 39(10): 33-40. https://doi.org/10.16298/j.cnki.1004-3667.2023.10.06
    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    An analysis was conducted on the interdisciplinary education experiences of 974 recipients of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars from 2000 to 2020, as well as the interdisciplinary research and academic output results from 1996 to 2021. It was found that 196 scholars had vertical interdisciplinary education experiences (undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral), and reflected the characteristics of training in basic disciplines before applied disciplines. Among them, the proportion of interdisciplinary talent cultivation in the field of life sciences is relatively high (28.3%), while the level of interdisciplinary research in the field of chemistry is relatively high. There is a threshold effect and disciplinary heterogeneity between the level of interdisciplinary research and academic achievements. In the field of chemistry, there is a U-shaped nonlinear relationship between the two, and after combining threshold analysis with inflection points, interdisciplinary research has a positive impact on various aspects of academic outputs. In the fields of mathematical physics and life sciences, most of the two exhibit an inverted U-shaped nonlinear relationship, with a complex trend of change. Therefore, the cultivation concept of “appropriate disciplines+broad foundation” should be advocated, and “open peer evaluation” should be encouraged in academic evaluation, with a focus on building interdisciplinary research platforms guided by major issues.

    The Logic of Good Internal Governance Universities for High-Quality Development of Undergraduate Education in the Universalization Stage
    SU De1,2; HOU Huihong3
    2023, 39(10): 41-48. https://doi.org/10.16298/j.cnki.1004-3667.2023.10.07
    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    High-quality development is the essence of the connotative and characteristic development of undergraduate education after higher education has entered the universalization stage. Good internal governance can help universities realize the high-quality development of undergraduate education in terms of goals, means, structures, processes, and results. Based on the perspective of good internal governance, we define the connotation of high-quality development of undergraduate education in terms of nature, practice, and measurement, focus on the failure of management of undergraduate education and the core viewpoints of the research on internal governance in academic history, and construct a framework of good internal governance in universities by choosing the functions of talent cultivation, the system of the five education systems, the structure of good internal governance, the practice of teaching and learning in the curriculum,and the organizational culture of the university as the basic aspects. In this way, it clarifies the logic of good internal governance of the university that includes value observation, system adaptation, organizational separation, knowledge integration, and power support for the development of high-quality undergraduate education. It builds up the good internal governance of the university that traces the value of educating people, regulates the educational system, improves the management organization, replenishes the knowledge of disciplines, and activates the power of development for the high-quality development of undergraduate education.

    The Problem of Undergraduate Learning Time Hidden in the Course Schedule: Analysis Base on 381 Individual Course Schedules
    QIN Juan; LI Honghui
    2023, 39(10): 49-56. https://doi.org/10.16298/j.cnki.1004-3667.2023.10.08

    The number, structure, and elasticity of undergraduate learning time have a significant correlation with academic quality and achievement, and the student’s course schedule can reflect the learning time more truly, concretely, and objectively. Based on the analysis of 381 individual course schedules of undergraduates in 96 universities and 95 majors, it is found that the proportion of undergraduates’ learning time in class is relatively large, the fragmentation of learning time is obvious, and the degree of freedom of learning time is small. On this basis, three problems hidden in the undergraduate learning time are put forward: the in-class bias of learning time brings severe challenges to autonomous learning; the fragmentation of learning time has a serious impact on deep learning; the limitation of learning time freedom makes it difficult to implement personalized education.

    Taking Shaanxi’s industrial development of national economy and their supply of high-level talents as the research contents, we established six industry clusters, constructed a comprehensive evaluation index system of “the supply of science and engineering graduate students” and “the economic development of industry”, and analyzed their development levels and coordination relationship. The research found that the coupling coordination degree of “the supply of science and engineering graduate students” and “the economic development of industry” showed a fluctuant upward trend. But the overall situation was that the economic development of industry was lagging, which was at a low level of coordination. Accordingly, we suggest: optimizing the allocation mechanism of enrollment plan and the training structure of high-end talents; optimizing the layout of modern industrial development and the industrial innovation ecology; and optimizing the coordination mechanism of high-end talent supply and industrial economic development.

    Does Marriage and Childbearing Hinder the Academic Training of Doctoral Students: Empirical Research Based on Doctoral Student Survey
    XU Dandong1; LV Linhai2
    2023, 39(10): 65-71,93. https://doi.org/10.16298/j.cnki.1004-3667.2023.10.10
    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    With the expansion of the scale of doctoral education and the implementation of the flexible educational system, the number of married or parental doctoral students in China is increasing. It is worth paying attention to whether marriage and childbearing will hinder the academic training of doctoral students. Based on the survey data of doctoral students in a first-class university, the differences in academic experience and achievements of doctoral students with different marriage and childbearing statuses are analyzed. The results showed that doctoral students with children reported higher scores in supervisor guidance, program involvement, and course learning compared to other doctoral students, especially unmarried doctoral students, as well as higher growth in research capability and overall satisfaction. One possible explanation is that doctoral students with children have increased efficiency in teacher-student communication, program involvement, and course learning, which enhances their research capability and overall satisfaction. In addition, there is no significant gender difference in the relationship between the marriage and childbearing status and the academic experience and achievement of doctoral students. The research results fail to support the view that marriage and childbearing will inevitably hinder academic training for doctoral students. Future research can explore the relationship between the marriage and childbearing status and academic training performance by considering other indicators.

    2023, 39(10): 72-78. https://doi.org/10.16298/j.cnki.1004-3667.2023.10.11
    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    As the main employment platform for returned overseas doctors, the education and scientific research functions undertaken by universities have led to a process of “re-localization” for returned overseas doctors majoring in law. Based on research in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Beijing, and Guangdong, it has been found that the process of “re-localization” in the education and teaching of returned overseas doctorates in the field of law can be roughly divided into a painful period, a bottleneck period, and a differentiation period. The teaching difficulties faced by returned overseas doctors majoring in law have led to a sharp decrease in their popularity among universities. Compared with local doctoral students, returned doctoral students majoring in law do not necessarily have advantages in teaching, but instead go through longer periods of pain and bottleneck. In order to stimulate the teaching potential of returned overseas doctors, they should integrate their academic advantages with the awareness of local issues and rely on comparative law methods to improve their teaching and research levels, while universities should also establish standardized teaching assessment mechanisms.

    To reverse the unscientific evaluation orientation of “performance first” and promote the construction of a positive and inclusive research culture that effectively cultivates and attracts innovative talents of science and technology, the UK released a new round of national university research evaluation-the design plan of the “Research Excellence Framework 2028” (REF 2028). REF 2028 focuses on the evaluation of the construction of scientific research culture in universities and comprehensively changes the three evaluation dimensions. Specifically, REF 2028 replaces the research environment dimension with the research culture dimension and adopts research culture evaluation of both diversity and unity; it expands the basic connotation of the dimensions of scientific research achievements and eliminates the focus on the individual performance of the scientific researchers; it expands the direction and scope of research impact dimension and pays more attention to the process of impact generation. REF 2028 is guided by the long-term perspective of cultural sustainability construction, centered on the entire process evaluation, and based on the principle of “evidence-based”. This has crucial reference significance for promoting the sustainable development of research in China, establishing a complete whole-process evaluation system, and facilitating the dual improvement of accuracy and efficiency.

    In 2008, Japan established the teaching profession graduate schools system, promoting teaching profession graduate schools to become the main battlefield responsible for the master’s degree training of basic education teachers. From its initial establishment to organizational expansion and to transformation and improvement, Japan has gradually formed an institutional framework that integrates subject teacher education, includes intexactions between theoretical and practical courses, involves faculty advantage integration, and combines work and learning with in-service teachers. In terms of local implementation, some high-level teaching profession graduate schools have taken measures such as talent classification training, establishing a “three modernizations”collaborative mechanism, forming a “curriculum textbook oriented”approach, and launching “distance education projects”to promote the transformation of the teacher training system from closed to integrated, reflecting the construction orientation of universities as “anchor goals, tighten standards, value efficiency, and ensure fairness”. These explorations can provide useful references for solving the closed problem of China’s teacher education system and promoting high-quality master’s level teacher training.

    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    The development of the dual system of higher education is a new change to the skill formation regime in Germany since the 1970s. Based on the theory of Gradual Institutional Change, we systematically analyzed the origin and development of the dual system of higher education in Germany and discussed the main characteristics during the three stages of institutional change of “layering”, “conversion”, and “drift”. This paper found that the driving mechanism is derived from large and medium-sized enterprises; the key to success is multi-collaborative innovation; and the vitality of institution is flexible forms. But there are also some problems that need to be addressed in practice, and the development potential needs further exploration. At present, China puts forward a steady development of vocational undergraduate education, sharing the similar background and purpose to German dual system in higher education. Therefore, we can draw lessons from the experience of Germany, including paying attention to important role of enterprises in running schools, enriching development forms of vocational undergraduate education, moderately improving the development speed and scale, and attaching importance to the rational layout of vocational undergraduate education in China.

    Abstract ( )   Knowledge map   Save
    Currently, most previous studies about the Teaching Ability Competition in the National Vocational College Skills Competition are based on experience summaries and perceptual understandings; there is a lack of empirical evidence that the competition can promote teachers’ information-based teaching behavior. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted on the data of 6 973 teachers in higher vocational colleges, and the results showed that both the times and level of teachers’ participation in teaching ability competitions had a significant positive predictive effect on their information-based teaching behavior; meanwhile, the times of participation in competitions could not only directly but also indirectly promote their information-based teaching behavior by enhancing teachers’ attitude towards information-based teaching; however, the level of participation in competitions does not have an impact on teachers’ attitude toward information-based teaching. The regular implementation of information-based teaching in vocational colleges is a complex and systematic project, which needs to take the innovation and reform of competition organizers as the traction force, the organization and management of vocational colleges as the impetus, and the teaching implementation of teachers themselves as the execution force.
