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