大数据时代院校研究的发展与突破——“院校研究:数据分析的对象、内容和方法”研讨会暨2013年中国院校研究会年会综述

The Developing and Breaking through of Institution Research in the Era of Big Data:A Review of “The Object,Content and Method of Data Analysis in Institution Research” Seminar and the 2013 Annual Conference of China's Institution Research

学术界认为:我国院校研究要实现从"初步形成"到"规范发展"的转变,必须从研究方法上有所发展和突破。而大数据时代的到来正在改变着人们的思维方式:从注重定性研究到用大量数据说话,从注重数据的精准到接收数据的纷繁复杂,从注重因果关系到追求相关关系。这种思维方式的转变正好给院校研究提供了发展的思路和方向:无论是大学宏观层面还是微观层面的问题,都可以采用"收集数据、分析数据、发现问题、找到对策"的路径进行研究。

Many scholars think that, for achieving a change from the ＂initial formation＂ to ＂regular de velopment＂, China＇ institution research must break through the research methods. At the same time, the era of big data is changing people＇ thinking ways, that is, from paying attention to qualitative re search to speaking by many data, from emphasizing the accuracy of data to receiving complex data, from focusing on causation to pursuing correlativity. The changes in the thinking ways can give the developmental direction of the institution research. Both the macro and the micro issues in colleges and universities can be researched by collecting and analyzing data, identifying problems and finding coun termeasures.
