高校青年教师国际化发展现状与改进路径——基于上海大学的调查研究

Current Situation and Improving Measures of Junior University Teachers'International Development:A Case Study of Shanghai University

青年教师是推动高校国际化发展的生力军。如何充分发挥青年教师的主体作用,为其提供良好的国际化成长与发展平台,是高校亟待解决的重要课题。通过对上海大学青年教师的国际化认知、行为、动因、诉求及发展瓶颈的调查研究发现:青年教师普遍具有国际合作意识,但个体目标与高校国际化办学目标的结合度不高;是否有海外经历对青年教师国际化行为产生不同的影响,其国际化行为更倾向于国际化科研,具有明显的科研评价指向性;青年教师对国际化教学投入不足,影响高校国际教育供给能力;国际化合作的动因及诉求多样化,发展路径不清晰。因此,高校应重视青年教师国际化发展问题,进一步探索国际化发展的有效路径,从以下方面加以改进:坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导,建立青年教师高度参与的国际化决策协商沟通平台,鼓励青年教师将个人发展目标与高校发展目标主动对接;破除科技评价中“唯论文”的不良导向,优化高校教师国际化学术评价体系;建设“跨境培养”与“本土培养”相结合的青年教师国际化发展平台,从理念引导、合作渠道拓展等方面注重对青年教师的培养和支持,使其具备开展高水平国际合作的能力。

In the context of cooperation and competition in higher education,internationalization strategy of higher education institutions(HEIs)should take young faculty as the main players of internationalization activities(IA)and create sound development platforms for them.This article examines cognition,involvement,motivation,demands and bottlenecks of internationalization among young faculty at Shanghai University,a university supported by the national Double First-Class Initiative.The research illustrates that young teachers generally have a sense of international cooperation,but the degree of integration between individual goals and the goals of international education of universities is not high;differences in growth background have different effects on international cognition and behavior,focusing on whether they have overseas experience;international academic behavior is more inclined to international scientific research,with obvious scientific research evaluation orientation;Moreover,insufficient internationalized teaching input results in a lack of international education supply in HEIs.In spite of diverse motivation and demands in internationalization,the corresponding development paths are unclear,to name a few.The authors suggest that HEIs should create a communication platform where young faculty could engage in and be encouraged to take initiative in connecting individual development goals with organizational goals of HEIs.The article argues that HEIs should follow the new science assessment philosophy by abandoning the Five-Only Educational Assessment System,which only emphasize on grades,enrollment,diplomas,papers,titles.On this basis,internationally recognized assessment system should be adopted,while the single-oriented internationalized academic assessment system should be improved.We conclude by offering recommendations to produce young faculty by cultivating young talents at home and abroad,broaden minds,expand learn methods and cooperation channels to build their ability of conducting international cooperation of high quality.
