基于学科结构的区域本科院校分类研究——以湖北省为例

Research on College Classification Based on Disciplinary Structure: The Case of Hubei Province

依据学科结构的院校分类研究对于把握院校和系统层面的组织特征具有重要的理论价值。选取2013年面板数据,构建学科层次和类型分类指标体系,对湖北省67所本科院校进行经典聚类分析,并根据实证分类结果对该省本科院校系统作进一步诊断分析。研究表明:该省本科院校系统呈现橄榄形矩阵结构,各类院校分工较为合理,但少数层次和类型院校的多样性有待提高,部分学科可进一步强化与产业的契合发展;运用分类工具进行院校和系统分析是分类研究的重要目标,基于这些院校特征,政府可确立学科专业调整的方向。

It＇s of important theoretical value to classify colleges based on disciplinary structure in a bid to grasp their organizational and systematical characteristics. Using official panel data in 2013 and disciplinary classification index system, the author conducts a classic cluster analysis to classify 67 colleges in Hubei province before a further diagnostic analysis of its undergraduate college system based on the empirical results. The findings are summarized as follows： the system of undergraduate colleges in the province displays an olive-shaped matrix structure; few colleges are lack of typical diversity; some disciplines are unable to satisfy social demand.
