科教融汇视域下西部高等教育结构的困境检视与功能重塑

The Realistic Dilemma and Functional Remodeling of Higher Education Structure in Western China from the Perspective of Science and Education Integration

在教育强国建设进程中,优化区域高等教育结构布局,是我国西部高等教育实现高质量发展的重要举措。科教融汇新理念的提出,为新时代西部高等教育结构优化与布局调整提供了方向指引。全面振兴西部高等教育,需坚持以科教融汇为新方向,在层次结构上凸显人才梯队培养,在科类结构上服务科技产业升级,在形式结构上形塑科研生态系统,在布局结构上优化科研资源配置。然而,在实践层面,西部高等教育当前仍面临较为突出的结构性问题,在支撑引领区域科技创新、产业升级等方面的功能尚未得到充分发挥,包括人才培养层次结构重心偏低,高科技人才缺口大;高校学科专业结构适应性差,科技驱动能力不足;形式结构内部要素协同性弱,科研合作机制不畅;优质教育资源布局结构失衡,科技创新活力不足。站在新的历史起点,在普及化初级阶段,西部高等教育应在科教融汇理念指导下,遵循整体性、协调性、适应性和开放性原则,深化科教融汇育人理念,逐步上移层次结构重心;立足科技产业发展需要,动态调整学科专业结构;推动西部高校集群发展,促进形式结构协同联动;加强科技创新开放合作,完善科研设施布局结构。

In the process of building a powerful country in education,adjusting and optimizing the regional higher education structure is an important measure to achieve high-quality connotative development of higher education in western China.The new idea of integrating science and education provides strategic guidance for the structure optimization and layout adjustment of higher education in western China.To comprehensively revitalize higher education in western China,it is necessary to adhere to the new direction of integrating science and education,highlight the talent training echelon in the hierarchical structure,serve the upgrading of the science and technology industry in the disciplinary structure,shape the scientific research ecosystem in the formal structure,and optimize the allocation of scientific research resources in the layout structure.However,at the practical level,the higher education system in western China is still facing more prominent structural problems,and its due functions in supporting and leading regional scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading have not been fully utilized,which is reflected in the low focus of talent training hierarchy and the large gap of high-tech talents,the poor adaptability of discipline structure in colleges and universities,the limited driving ability of science and technology,weak coordination in the internal elements of the formal structure,and the absent scientific research cooperation mechanism,the unbalanced layout structure of high-quality educational resources,and the insufficient vitality of scientific and technological innovation.Standing at a new historical starting point,in the initial stage of popularization,the higher education in western China should be guided by the concept of integrating science and education,and follow the principles of integrity,coordination,adaptability and openness,the concept of collaborative education of science and education to be deepened,the focus of hierarchical structure to be leveled up;based on the development needs of science and technology industry,the discipline structure is dynamically adjusted;the development of western university clusters should be boosted in order to promote the coordination of forms and structures;the open cooperation in scientific and technological innovation should be strengthened in order to improve the layout and structure of scientific research facilities.
