如何认识与评价世界一流大学的“全球性”潜在特征

How to Understand and Appraise the Potential Characteristics of "Globalization" for World-class University

“世界一流大学”映射了极少数大学的精英地位,这是一个模糊的质量概念,既没有明显的边界来区分与其他大学的差别,也缺乏可行的评价标准。国际上,对一流大学评价的通用方法是量化指标排序,但最终指向的是“全球性”认可这一潜在特征,可以概括为:全球性声誉、全球问题研究能力、适应全球变革的战略、参与全球竞争的能力,以及立足本土的全球性价值。这些潜在特征是我们认识和评价一流大学的基础。

The "world-class university", which reflects the elite status of a few universities, is still a vague concept of quality. There is no clear boundary to distinguish the differences from other universities, and there is no feasible evaluation standard. Internationally, the common method of evaluating world-class universities is to quantify the indicators for ranking, but in the end it points to the potential characteristics of "global" recognition. It can be summarized as follows:global reputation, research capacity on global issues, strategies for adapting to global change, ability to compete globally, and how to achieve global values based on the home country. These potential characteristics are the basis of our knowledge and evaluation of first-class universities.
