Diverse Features,Evolutionary Systems and Future Trends of Higher Education Governance Research in China
Higher education is an important vehicle for promoting social progress and building a new development pattern,and is a key support for advancing the process of Chinese-style modernization.In recent years,research results around higher education governance in China have been emerging.Content mining and data analysis of existing research literature are helpful to discover the characteristics,systems and future research trends of current research,which are of great significance to the realization of higher education modernization.On the basis,take knowledge association as the entry point and use bibliometric and knowledge mapping research methods to sort out the lineage of higher education governance research in China from 2003 to 2021,and conduct an econometric analysis on the multiple characteristics,evolutionary system and frontier trends of higher education governance research in China from macro,meso and micro perspectives.It shows that the research on higher education governance in China has gone through four stages,including academic thinking,learning from experience,independent innovation and system construction.Discipline interaction is frequent and research results are fruitful.The themes are mainly related to the conceptual ontology,policy values and practical applications of higher education governance,as well as the expansion of"governance"theory in higher education,showing significant characteristics of"continuity"and"innovation".The research frontiers are focused on the major issues such as"higher education governance in a new era"and"digital governance innovation",which are in line with the reality and national policies.Finally,through a comprehensive consideration of research sources,frontiers,subjects and other aspects.Three research suggestions are put forword,namely,focusing on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary cross-border and integration research,giving play to the strong force of specific practical research under the digital transformation,and exploring the"good governance"map of China's higher education governance,with a view to provide references for the in-depth research on higher education governance and the construction and improvement of its theoretical system.
