“双一流”建设背景下的一流人才:内涵、评价、生成与发展

First-class talents under the background of Double First-class construction: Connotation, evaluation, generation and development

2022年2月,《关于深入推进世界一流大学和一流学科建设的若干意见》印发,“双一流”建设高校及建设学科名单更新公布,新一轮“双一流”建设正式启动。习近平总书记指出:“只有培养出一流人才的高校,才能够成为世界一流大学。办好我国高校,办出世界一流大学,必须牢牢抓住全面提高人才培养能力这个核心点。”培养一流人才是“双一流”建设背景下不能回避的关键问题,作为一流人才培养改革试点的“先行者”,“双一流”建设高校理应牢牢把握全面提升人才培养能力这一核心点,发挥培养急需高层次人才、基础研究人才中的主力军作用。“双一流”概念的提出与演进为一流人才的研究提供了重要的理论基础,党中央近年来对人才的重大战略部署和人才强国战略的客观需要为一流人才的研究赋予战略意义,从大学的基本职能来看,提高人才培养质量,培养一流人才是一流大学建设的核心使命。一流人才应是具有一流的知识技能、具备一流的创新能力,同时有着超前的为国家、社会和人民做贡献的意识,堪当民族复兴大任的领军人才,被赋予才高行洁,全面发展,家国情怀,视野开阔,立足实践,勇于创新等共性特征,建立科学的一流人才评价标尺,不仅要树立正确价值导向,破除“五唯”顽瘴痼疾,还应形成多元化的评价体系,这对于营造潜心研究、追求卓越、风清气正的科研环境,最大限度激发人才创新创造活力和潜力有着重要作用。“双一流”建设背景下一流人才的培养不仅是对国家战略需求的回应,也是呼唤育人本真的回归,更是满足人才发展的自身需求,为此,我们要深刻认识推进“一流大学”“一流学科”建设是一流人才培养的同木之根、同水之源,牢固树立党管人才的原则,坚持“四个面向”和立德树人根本任务,推动产学研深度融合。“双一流”高校要抓住机遇,勇担责任,呼唤更多英才在中华大地上涌现、成长、发挥作用,为国家富强、民族复兴作出更大贡献,并为一流人才的培养提供可复制、可推广的经验,为建设高等教育强国发挥应有的引领示范作用,为实现中华民族伟大复兴筑牢基石。

In February 2022, the Guidelines on Deepening the Construction of World-class Universities and Disciplines were published, and the second list of universities and disciplines included in the Double First-class Project was released. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has pointed out that “only those universities that cultivate first-class talents can become world-class universities. To run China’s universities successfully and turn them into world-class universities, we must firmly grasp the core point of comprehensively improving the ability to cultivate talents.” Cultivating first-class talents is a key issue that cannot be avoided under the background of Double First-class construction. As the “pioneer” of the pilot reform of first-class talent training, Double First-class construction universities should firmly grasp the core point of comprehensively improving the ability of talent training, and give full play to the role of the main force in training urgently needed high-level talents and basic research talents. The proposal and evolution of the concept of Double First-class provides an important theoretical basis for the study of first-class talents. The major strategic deployment of talents of the CPC Central Committee in recent years and the objective needs of the talent-strengthening strategy have given strategic significance to the research of first-class talents. From the perspective of universities’ basic functions, improving the quality of talent training and cultivating first-class talents is the core mission of building first-class universities. First-class talents should have first-class knowledge and skills, have first-class innovation ability, and have an advanced sense of contributing to the country, society and the people. They are endowed with common characteristics such as high integrity, all-round development, love of country, broad vision, based on practice, and courage to innovate. To establish a scientific first-class talent evaluation scale, we must not only establish a correct value orientation, and reform the traditional “five-dimensions-only” assessment system, but also form a diversified evaluation system. It plays an important role in maximizing the innovation and creativity of talents and their potential. Under the background of Double First-class construction, the cultivation of first-class talents is not only a response to the national strategic needs, but also calls for the return of the authenticity of education and meets the needs of talent development. Therefore, we must deeply understand the consistency of promoting the construction of first-class universities, first-class disciplines and the training of first-class talents, firmly establish the principle of the Party’s management of talents, adhere to the “four aspects” and the fundamental task of cultivating people with morality, and promote the deep integration of production, study and research. Double first-class universities should seize opportunities, shoulder responsibilities and call for more talents to emerge, grow and play their roles on the land of China and make greater contributions to the prosperity and rejuvenation of the nation. They should provide replicable and extendable experience for the cultivation of first-class talents, play a leading and exemplary role in the construction of a powerful country in higher education, and build a solid foundation for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
