多元质量观与独立学院的教育质量

Multi-perspective Outlook of Quality and Educational Quality of Independent Colleges

高等教育的质量是一个历史的、相对的、发展的概念。高等教育大众化时代,高等教育的质量体现为其所提供的产品和服务满足社会和个人需求的程度。与多样化的社会需求和个人需求相适应,高等教育的质量标准也由传统的一元标准向多元标准转变。因此,新兴的我国独立学院不能也不应当固守传统精英教育的质量标准。以应用型人才为培养目标的独立学院,必须办出特色,才能赢得生存和发展的空间。

The quality of higher education is a historic, relative and developing concept. It has entered a new epoch of popularization, in which its quality is demonstrated in the products it offers as well as the extent to which it satisfies the society and serves individual need. In line with the variety of social and individual needs, the norm and criteria for higher education has undergone drastic changes, from its traditional mono-norm to multi-perspective criteria. Therefore, newlyemerging independent colleges in China cannot and should not cling to the traditional norm of ＂Elite Education＂ .To survive and develop, independent colleges should aim to cultivate students with practical abilities.
