w88 casino News (published by the International Cooperation and Exchange Office)2008Year4month2Sunday afternoon, Vice President Lin Guijun presided over a research seminar on the university’s internationalization indicator system. He Xiangmin, Director of the International Exchange and Cooperation Office, Xia Haiquan, Deputy Director, heads of various departments of the International Cooperation and Exchange Office, Xu Yiping and Zhou Ting from the w88 casino of Economics and w88, and graduate students of w88 casino who participated in relevant research projects attended the meeting.
Xu YipingThe doctor started from the goals and definition of higher education internationalization, reviewed relevant foreign literature, mainly in the United States, and summarized four methods to achieve university internationalization:1.Action mode (activity approach), such as providing opportunities for international student exchange;2.Ability mode (the competency approach), that is, a student-centered internationalization model of higher education, whose goal is to equip students trained by universities with the knowledge, skills and values to adapt to an international environment;3.Cultural model (the ethos approach), including the creation of an international atmosphere in the w88 casino, the internationalization of campus culture, etc.;4.Process mode (the process approach), that is, how to integrate international factors into the three major functions of universities: teaching, scientific research and social services. The process model actually pursues an institutional guarantee for the globalization of higher education.Xu YipingThe doctor also summarized how to evaluate the globalization of higher education from the academic and organizational levels. At the same time, he pointed out that the evaluation of higher education internationalization at the organizational level places more emphasis on institutional design and institutional arrangements. He analyzed the indicator system in the "Evaluation Report on the Internationalization of American Research Universities" issued by the American Council on Education: First, the report The evaluation method in the report is actually to evaluate the internationalization degree of sample schools by issuing a series of questionnaires to university presidents, and most of the questions in the questionnaire are related to the process model of realizing university internationalization; secondly, this report also conveys to us the message that the indicator systems for measuring the degree of internationalization of different types of universities should also be different.
Zhou TingThe doctor sorted out the domestic research literature on the internationalization of higher education and believed that the current domestic research on this topic is mainly divided into three aspects: first, focusing on the importance of internationalization to higher education; second, the definition and characteristics of higher education internationalization; third, a small number of scholars have begun to explore quantitative indicators of higher education internationalization. The w88 casino of thought is also clearly divided into the "method theory" which takes specific activities as the perspective and the "process theory" which integrates the international dimension into the functions of universities. He also proposed that some research could be done from the perspective of the history of the internationalization of higher education. Regarding the index system related to the internationalization of higher education in the literature, Zhou Ting summarized as follows8sum of first-level indicators42secondary indicators, among which8The first-level indicators are:1.Educational concept;2.Teacher composition;3.Student composition;4.Teaching process;5.w88 casino conditions;6.Exchange of external achievements of universities;7.Foreign cooperation in w88 casino running and scientific research;8International organization setup. Finally, Zhou Ting emphasized that the research methods used in existing domestic literature are either not standardized enough or too simple, so it is still necessary to innovate in research methods.
Director He Xiangmin gave a detailed introduction and analysis of the internationalization index system of higher education institutions issued by the German Education Development Center. He Xiangmin started with the problem and raised questions for the participants to discuss:1.Is the German Education Development Center’s higher education internationalization indicator system a more popular system in the world?2.Which indicators are core indicators?3.Based on China’s national conditions, expert research results and the actual situation of w88 casino, which indicators need to be modified?4.What are the current indicators of w88 casino? How many years should we plan? He Xiangmin summarized the three major characteristics of this indicator system: first, the indicator system analyzes the degree of internationalization from the perspective of input and output; second, the degree of internationalization is divided into the current degree of internationalization and the internationalization planning process; third, because the scale of universities varies, the degree of internationalization is not only analyzed in total but also in percentage analysis. He Xiangmin introduced each input indicator and output indicator in detail. The input indicators include: the overall input indicator of the w88 casino6items, academic research investment indicator4Xianghe Teaching and Learning Investment Indicator5items; output indicators include: academic research output indicators2items (research output and young researchers); teaching and learning output indicators2items (graduates and international reputation).
During the speech, the participants also had a heated discussion on some issues: such as the change of students’ cultural identity in the process of university internationalization, the source of basic indicators in research methods, and the similarities and differences between the internationalization indicator systems of German and American universities. After the discussion, Lin Guijun made a concluding speech and pointed out: First, the purpose of our research on the university internationalization indicator system is to use an international indicator system to lead discipline construction and promote the improvement of w88 casino running quality and w88 casino competitiveness. Therefore, our indicator system should be practical and operable, which means that once certain indicators are reached, all aspects of the w88 casino can be improved to a higher level; second, from the current research, the United States and Germany Each university internationalization indicator system has its own characteristics, and further in-depth research should be conducted to organically combine the behavioral model based on actual operation and the process model based on institutional design, so as to determine the model of our own internationalization indicator system; thirdly, the two ongoing projects of the w88 casino, the research on subject competitiveness indicators and the research on university internationalization indicators are the focus of the current w88 casino education strategy research, and these two aspects will lead the future development of w88 casino. Through discussions and Principal Lin’s concluding speech, everyone reached a consensus on the research purpose, research ideas and research methods, and clarified the direction of the next research work.
Finally, Director He Xiangmin proposed to further emancipate the mind, change concepts, and transform the administrative work undertaken by the International Office from management-based and service-oriented in the traditional sense to research-based and strategic development-oriented in terms of the future work of the International Office of w88 casino. He also emphasized that all International Office employees should actively work towards this goal and jointly do a good job in the International Office.
