The Transformation of China’s Key Science and Technology Universities in the Move to Mass Higher Education

China’s key science and technology universities are modelled on the FrenchÉcole Polytechnique.As such,they are utilitarian institutions,rooted in the concept of cultivating manpower for society’s economic progress,and tending to ignore the development of the individual.As China’s elite higher education system took in a rapidly increasing number of students in the recent massification process,China’s key science and technology universities underwent reform to become more comprehensive in curricular offerings and more research-oriented in function.The authors have uncovered an interesting phenomenon:Despite repeated discussion in academic circles,this transformation was never actually a conscious strategic choice for universities.Only when the Chinese government launched a program of higher education“massification”did universities develop their own unique reform strategies in a move to become more comprehensive and more research oriented.The authors have adopted a multi-stream analysis framework to describe and analyze three case study universities:University of Science and Technology of China(USTC),Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST),and Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University(NWAFU).It was found that Chinese universities already have quite a high level of autonomy,but that the government still has the power to make strategic decisions.Each university’s decision-making mechanism has been an independent process within the constraints of the political economic structure over this period,and policy-making has combined top-down and bottom-up processes.

理工科大四学生社会支持与人格特征的相关研究

目的研究广东省某理工科大四学生社会支持与人格特征的关系,为进行针对性的干预提供依据。方法采用自行设计一般项目调查表、艾森克个性测量问卷(EPQ)、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数量表(PSQI)、领悟社会支持量表(PSSS)对大四学生进行进行测评。结果19.49%的学生睡眠质量较差;男生精神质(P)量表分明显高于常模(P<0.001),在外向性(E)量表得分上,男女生得分均高于常模(均P<0.01);社会支持量表得分最高的是朋友支持,其次是家庭支持。多元逐步回归分析发现,总的领悟社会支持进入精神质P分方程,朋友支持进入内外向E分方程。结论不但要重视大学生所面对的外界压力和得到的社会支持,更重要的是培养大学生一系列社会技能。
