Original Title: Building College Discipline Will Welcome A Comprehensive “Physical Exam”
How to evaluate the general level of discipline construction in universities? How is the elimination of “only academic grades, only professional degrees, only jobs, only awards and only hats” reflected in the assessment of the subject? In order to implement the spirit of the “General Plan for Deepening the Reform of Educational Assessment in the New Era”, the Center for the Development of Academic and Postgraduate Degrees of the Ministry of Education recently issued the “Notice of Announcement of the” Work for the Fifth Round of Subject Evaluation “(called” Work Plan “), which will be launched The fifth round of subject evaluation will provide a” health diagnosis “for the construction of disciplines in universities.
In the design of the evaluation index system, the “Work plan” adheres to the basic standard of “Lead to cultivate people’s effectiveness”, “quality, effectiveness, characteristics and contribution” as value orientation, and “combination of quantitative and qualitative evaluation “as a basic method. Break the “five singularities” as breakthrough, on the basis of maintaining the basic positioning of the general level of the first-level disciplines and the basic stability of the evaluation system framework, further strengthen the position of the talent training center, eliminate decidedly the “five singularities” and reform the evaluation of the teaching team, highlighting quality, contribution and characteristics.
Disciplinary evaluation refers to the general level evaluation of top-level disciplines entitled to award doctorate or master’s degrees throughout the country in accordance with the “Catalog of disciplines for the award of degrees and the training of talent” issued by the Academic Titles Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education since 2002. Reflect the general level and phased progress of China’s university discipline construction, promote construction and promotion by evaluation, and promote continuous improvement of the general level of discipline construction and the quality of postgraduate training in China. Since 2002, China has organized 4 rounds of subject assessment.
Lin Zhongqin, president of Shanghai Jiaotong University and academic of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, believes that subject assessment plays an important “baton” role in the construction of colleges and universities. Building a first-class discipline is a long-term and systematic project. The discipline assessment is an effective periodic test of discipline building in universities. Faculties and universities find shortcomings and deficiencies through evaluation, promote strategic planning of discipline construction and systematic design, and optimize discipline resource allocation. Deepen the connotation of construction and promote continuous improvement of the level of construction of discipline.
“The fifth round of evaluation of the discipline puts ‘focus on Lead and cultivate people’ as the first principle, and highlights the central position of the quality of talent training in specific indicators, highlighting the important role of building discipline in supporting talent training Lide Shu Guide People go through the entire process of school operation, improve and adjust the evaluation content of related secondary indicators, highlight key indicators such as the effectiveness of ideological education and politics, the construction of courses and teaching systems, and the level of scientific research and education. ” Gong, executive vice president of Peking University, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Qi Huang said.
What specific measures does the subject assessment have to break the “five wei”? The head of the Center for the Development of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Education presented: Adhere to the promotion of innovation and the combination of innovation and innovation. The evaluation of teachers is not just about academic qualifications and professional titles, and does not establish indicators of talent “hats” to avoid the one-sided approach of evaluating academic levels by academic titles. The evaluation of the level of scientific research is not limited to works and awards. Indicators such as “representative academic papers”, “patent transformation” and “research and development of new drugs” are established to evaluate the effectiveness of scientific research in multiple dimensions. Scholarly article evaluation focuses on iconic scholarly achievements and adopts the “representative evaluation” method of “expert evaluation and measurement evaluation combination” and “combination of Chinese journals and foreign journals”, and does not “review articles by journal “, and dilutes the number of articles included and citations, Do not use indicators related to SCI and ESI as a basis for direct judgment, highlight the innovative quality and academic contribution of iconic academic achievements. Stick to the combination of expert evaluation of representative results and quantitative evaluation of high-level results, and make full use of the “melt evaluation” method based on data and quantitative tests.
“Educational evaluation is a process of searching for quality evidence. It requires multiple data points to resolutely eliminate chronic diseases of ‘only academic qualifications, only professional degrees, only jobs, only awards and only hats.'” Analysis by Zhou Guangli, Executive Director of Renmin University of China Evaluation Research Center, The fifth round of subject evaluation focuses on multidimensional evaluation and adopts multidimensional methods, which fully embodies the principles of multidimensional evaluation.
