Challenges and Optimization Strategies in the Academic Title Evaluation of University Scientific and Technological Talents
This paper delves into an in-depth analysis of the current state and challenges of the academic title evaluation system for scientific and technological talents in China's higher education institutions,within the framework of a talent evaluation system oriented around innovation capability,quality,effectiveness,and contribution.It reviews the historical evolution of the title evaluation system,from an appointment system to a review system,and then to a decentralized evaluation system.This paper highlights that the current evaluation system is still constrained by the phenomenon known as"five soles,"characterized by complex job classifications,a focus on institutional development at the expense of individual growth,and a singular and utilitarian evaluation content.In response to these issues,this paper proposes a series of institutional optimization strategies.These include upholding the primacy of professional ethics,reinforcing an orientation towards quality and contribution,promoting diversification in evaluation methods,establishing self-regulatory mechanisms,and improving the policy safeguard system.The aim is to construct a more scientific,fair,and rational evaluation system for academic titles in higher education,thereby stimulating the innovative vitality of scientific and technological talents in universities and fostering high-quality development in higher education and scientific research endeavors.
