Digital Transformation of Discipline Governance in Universities:Mechanism,Realistic Challenges,and Practical Paths
Discipline governance is a key link in the modernization of university governance,and empowering discipline governance through digital transformation will play a key role in promoting the modernization of university governance capacity.The mechanism of the digital transformation of discipline governance in universities is mainly reflected in the following:digital technology empowers the subject of discipline and promotes the pluralistic participation of discipline governance;digital method empowers the power of discipline and improves the democratic and scientific nature of discipline governance decision-making;digital platform empowers disciplinary systems and guarantee interconnected disciplinary governance;and digital culture empowers the ecology of discipline to create a culture of discipline governance and care for the coexistence of disciplines.At present,the implementation of digital transformation of disciplinary governance in universities is facing three challenges:the internal resistance of disciplinary governance by disciplinary organizations;the external constraints of disciplinary governance by the top-level design of digital transformation in universities;in addition,there are also limitations of digital technology and digital governance itself.As a result,universities can choose the following paths to promote the practice of digital transformation of discipline governance:firstly,establish an effective discipline governance mechanism,and innovate the discipline subject participation governance mode based on the debugging of the relationship between knowledge and organization of disciplines;secondly,strengthen the top-level design of digital transformation,and improve the overall planning of digital transformation while exploring the theories of digital discipline governance;and finally,collaborate to cope with digital technology and digital governance ecosystems by optimizing the use of resource deployment and building discipline governance ecosystems,and so on.Finally,it is possible to collaboratively address digital technology challenges by optimizing the use of resource deployment and creating a disciplinary governance ecosystem.
