【摘要】 随着知识经济全球化的不断深入,各国政治、文化、科技都相继走向了国际化,研究型大学国际化竞争逐渐成为现代高等教育发展的必然趋势。面对激烈的国际竞争,那些过去只是与本国同类院校进行比较的研究型大学需要新的理论来解释新的困惑和矛盾:从国际竞争力发展的角度重新审视研究型大学的发展定位和发展潜能,整合现有的资源和能力,谋求新的生存和发展之道,研究型大学国际竞争力研究自此应运而生。研究型大学作为高等教育中水平最高的组织,对其国际竞争力的研究是解决学校本身乃至国家发展过程中战略性的重大理论问题和实际问题的有效途径。本研究试图通过构建研究型大学国际竞争力理论框架及评价体系,建立关于研究型大学这一竞争主体的竞争优势和竞争劣势的信息分析平台。鉴于此,本研究解决的两个核心问题有:阐释研究型大学国际竞争力的内涵及特征;构建研究型大学国际竞争力的评价标准体系。首先,本研究通过对研究型大学历史演变过程进行梳理和对国内外学者/机构对研究型大学的研究进行归纳分析,界定研究型大学的概念内涵及外在特征。然后,以高等教育国际化竞争为背景,在借鉴国际竞争力和高等教育竞争力理论研究成果的基础上,结合研究型大学自身特点,构建研究型大学国际竞争力的理论框架。最后,以高等教育学原理及竞争评价原理为理论基础,并参考各国高等教育质量保障体系及国际性大学排名中的评价体系,构建人才培养、科学研究、社会服务、师资队伍、物质资源、组织管理、大学校长、国际声誉等构成要素的评价标准。在此基础上,对研究型大学国际竞争力评价标准进行内涵层面上的国际可比性分析和技术层面上的可操作性分析,筛选具有强国际竞争力和可量化性的评价标准,形成研究型大学国际竞争力的评价体系,以促进研究型大学在国际化背景下全面发展。更多还原

【Abstract】 As the globalization process deepens, internationalization extends in all sorts of spheres, such as politics, culture and science and technology. In turn, international competition among research universities intensifies, which used to be only at a national level. The research universities are facing ever fiercer competition and new challenges. Thus, new theories are required to explain, analyze and understand the new concerns and puzzles: how to re-position and assess research universities’developmental orientation and potentials; how to integrate resources and capacity buildings; how to seek new paths to develop and enhance its capacity, etc. In response to these questions, this research aims to explore and investigate the meaning of research universities’international competitiveness.As the highest level higher education institutions, the study on research universities’international competitiveness may lead to constructive discussion and effective means to resolve developmental problems at both an institutional level and a national level. This study intends to establish a theoretical framework and evaluation system to interpret and assess research universities’international competitiveness, in order to develop an information platform to analyze research universities’competitiveness, including both strengths and weaknesses. Specifically, this study attempts to solve two core issues: to investigate meanings and nature of research university and its international competitiveness, and to develop an evaluation system to interpret and assess these concepts.Firstly, through reviewing the history and literature on research universities’development, this study defines the nature and features of research universities. Secondly, this research sets up in the context of increasingly fierce international competition among universities, adopts the conceptual frameworks of international competitiveness and higher education, integrates the analysis of the nature of research universities, and constructs a theoretical framework to interpret international competitiveness of research universities. Finally, this research develops an evaluation framework to assess international competitiveness of research universities. Within this evaluation system, eight factors have been identified and their meanings have been explored, that is, talent development, scientific research, social services, teaching force, resources, governance, leadership and international reputation. Both comparable analysis and operational analysis are employed to further select internationally comparable and quantifiable criteria and standards to provide analytical information on and to evaluate international competitiveness of research universities.更多还原
