挑战和机遇:研究型大学与未来的世界一流教学型跨国大学(公司)一体化模式

Challenges and Opportunities of Research Institutions:Multinational Universities that Provide World First Class Education

作为中国创办世界一流大学楷模的美国研究型大学正受到跨世纪的挑战:教育质量难以改进和成本的失控。高等教育“技术革命”和教育工程化管理,挑战“手工业”式的课堂“教授王国”,却又形成对规模经济和大市场的依赖。对中国和国际高等教育的大趋势的分析表明,研究型大学与教学型跨国大学(公司)一体化的模式有可能使中国的若干名牌大学既创办一流的教学型大学,也显著地增加迈向世界一流研究型大学的条件。

On their way to compete for the world first class institutions, many China's institutions are actually following the US research institution models. The US institutions themselves, however, have been challenged by the stagnation of education quality improvement and difficulties in cost containment. The technology revolution in higher education and the application of education engineering management have been challenging the 'hand-craft' type course management in which a professor handles all the R&D, design and teaching for a course. The benefits of the technology revolution highly depend on the scale of economy and education market. Based on an analysis of the trend in China's higher education market as well as the global ones, we believe that very good opportunities exist for a few outstanding China's research institutions to establish multinational world first class teaching universities, which will in turn prepare them to become the world first class research institutions in the near future.
