A Study of Chinese Policies to Create "World-Class Universities"

本研究旨在探讨中国高等教育政策的结构与功能，特别是以建设“世界一流大学”为目标的政策。具体内容如下：1.通过文献研究、统计数据分析和对教育部和几所大学有关人员的访谈，分析了20世纪90年代以来“世界一流大学”政策的发展。2.对中国主要大学的调查，特别是课程改革、人事管理改革、大学评估、高等教育全球化和电子学习及其决策机制。3.对北京大学和清华大学等中国主要大学的实地观察和访谈。关注“世界一流大学”政策的结构性后果如何在结构、财务和管理方面影响这些大学， ...更多信息 研究结果表明，政府主导的经费投入政策使我国高等教育的结构发生了巨大变化，教育科研的质量和数量都得到了提高。但是，也产生了教师和学生的各种作弊现象增多、教育研究质量下降等负面影响。目前，建设具有国际竞争力的教育研究基地是世界各国高等教育政策的重点。在日本，这一政策以卓越中心计划为例。我的研究表明，中国证明了这一政策的积极实施。本文的研究成果包括：《中国创建世界一流大学的政策研究》，《科学研究》（C）（2）2002-2004（110页）。“中国大学课程的发展”，载《日本教育学会会刊》，2002年5月，第24期，第1卷，第20- 27页。“中国的大学评价”，载《日本教育学会会刊》25：1：33- 39，2003年5月。以及2文章IDE（2002.10，2005.1），我现在申请规划的标题下的后续研究：“中国国立和公立大学治理：实证案例研究”减

The goal of this study is to investigate the structures and functions of the higher education policies in China, particularly those aimed at development of "world-class universities". The specific contents are as follows :1.Analyses on the development of "world-class universities" policies since the 1990's, based on reference research, analysis of statistical data and interviews with Ministry of Education personnel as will as relevant personnel from several universities.2.Survey of major Chinese universities, with particular aspects on curriculum reform, personnel management reform, university evaluation, globalization of the higher education and e-learning, and mechanisms of their decision-making.3.On-site observation and interviews at leading Chinese universities such as the Beijing University and Qinghua university, focusing on how the structural consequences of "world-class universities" policies affected these universities in terms of structures, finance and management, faculty em … More ployment and administration.This study proved that the government led policy of allocating funds brought a drastic change in the structure of Chinese higher education by improving both the quality and quantity of educational research. However, it also had negative consequences such as an increase in various kinds of cheating, by both faculty and students or a decline in quality of the educational research.At present, building bases for international-competitive educational research is a focal point in higher education policy worldwide. In Japan this police exemplified by the Center of Excellence program. My research indicated that China exemplifies a case of aggressive implementation of this policy. This study not only introduces the Chinese case, but also can contribute to the development of international comparative research in this field.My publication from this research include : A study of Chinese polices to create "world-class universities" in china, Research Report Scientific Research (C)(2) 2002-2004(110pp)."Development of university curriculum in China" in Journal of the Education Society of Japan,24:1:20-27,2002.5.
