Characteristics of Chinese philosophy of the University of

I am "idea to reflect on our university," the end of the article said: "I think we should consider the University of concepts with Chinese characteristics." At that time I just make such an idea has not done in-depth thinking. Lately, I have learned in the National Education General Secretary Hu Jintao's important speech at the meeting and in this meeting, Premier Wen Jiabao on the implementation of "Education Plan" made by the deployment of content, experience to the central leadership has for our education reform and the direction, provide a theoretical basis for educational reform, so I have some of the problems encountered in a new understanding and enhance confidence and courage. I would like to continue to seriously study and understand the spirit of past experiences and lessons for reform to make modest. To that end, I had raised the issue with Chinese characteristics, the university has made a further idea of thinking, although my thinking is shallow, immature, write, think of one on this subject.







First, why did I take the university concept with Chinese characteristics







What is the Idea of University? University concept is the essence of university functions, the development of philosophical thinking and rational laws. We understand it as simply as the university concept is the leaders of the University of the guiding ideology with what the people in mind to run a college and what college is the place. From our past experience in education, we can know what kind of guidelines, it will do what kind of university is the University of the University of concepts determines the direction, goals, what kind of personnel training. University philosophy is the soul of the University.







After reform and opening up, we understand the concept of many universities abroad, and in accordance with the idea of changing the advanced university's school of our ideas, organizations, educational models, curriculum and so on. But I think that imitation alone is not enough, must have the characteristics of their own country because the national situation is different, foreign feasible, does not necessarily work in China. Moreover, Idea of the University is also developing countries, is changing. If countries do not have their own characteristics, with the others behind in the run, it will always lag behind, or even know what to do. For example, general education is a university philosophy. A few years ago some of our universities have already started the trial of a general education, after school, regardless students into the professional, all learning foundation course, two years after the Jinru 各 professional college, learning expertise. This is done to the students trained on the future of social adaptability. But I also know that on the previous years, some universities abroad could have been engaged in general education, but they changed, change the mode of education with our past, as students entered the school on the sub-professional, students study just started different professions were on sub study. They argued that the students trained in personal strength, not a model casting. From this example we can see that universities in different countries to determine their own idea of the school when the University is not the same view, we must determine its own characteristics, not blind obedience.







Moreover, foreign university idea is in line with national conditions abroad is gradually perfected, inevitably there are shortcomings. University of the United States advanced the idea of being the University of countries in the world, become a model replicated in universities around the world, but also has its shortcomings. It is said unto them, professors pay attention to research, teaching is increasingly being ignored and the object of loyalty is not a university professor, but to provide funding for research foundations, corporations, businesses and so on. This shows that the philosophy of education they will also have some disadvantages, such defects reflect the problem is that they focus on is personal success. If we copy the idea of American universities, produced after these drawbacks, it is impossible to achieve "good education, people's satisfaction," will depart from the New Party and the nation's education policy.







Second, think Chinese characteristics foothold University Idea







In considering the characteristics of China University of idea, it must be grounded in the primary stage of socialism in China's basic national conditions. First, China is a big country with a population of 1.3 billion power to require education of the population than any country in the world are far greater. Now China has opened up a road with Chinese characteristics, the development of socialist education, built the world's largest educational system, to protect hundreds of millions of people the right to education. China is a big country of education, a Major in Education from the strong development of education, human resource power to a powerful human resources development in the process of education should play the roles and responsibilities are unique in the world. China's education must be innovative, the idea of Chinese universities also must be unique in order to comply with such a big country development needs of education.







The second is to consider China or a poor country, is a developing country. Although the country attaches great importance to education, that "give priority to education" policy, a substantial increase in investment in education, but government investment in education still far from meeting the needs of the grassroots. Investment in research funding, equipment updates are still limited. In particular, the central and western areas and large coastal wealth gap, the uneven development of education, when we consider education to be considered vigorously promote equity in education, the University of idea, it should also be considered taken into account.







Again to consider is that China is a socialist country with Chinese characteristics, it is different with the capitalist countries, with the other socialist countries are also different. China is perfecting the socialist modernization with Chinese characteristics, education system, education must adapt to the socialist market economic development, training of personnel to meet the needs of socialist construction with Chinese characteristics. On the other hand, the superiority of the socialist system in China to protect the country's political stability, government leadership is also very stable, so making the implementation of education policy to have the sustainability for the University of Chinese characteristics and create a good condition. Chinese people is to make progress, it is easy to gather together, each burst can be united Chinese people when disaster. This is what we do a good basis for the University with Chinese characteristics. We think these are the characteristics of Chinese Idea of University foothold.







Also consider the Chinese characteristics of the university idea, we have to consider China's current and future position in the international community. In recent years, China's rapid economic development, economic reform so that China will rise rapidly, the impact of the international community is very large. Example, the current international financial crisis, China has made substantial contributions to the international community. Another example is to address climate issues, environmental issues, resources and other major issues of the international community, China plays an important role. With globalization, the Chinese in the future the international community will play a vital role in training our people to adapt to the future of the international community must do the preparation, so in considering the characteristics of China University of idea, it is also be forward thinking.







Third, the Chinese characteristics of the University of Construction and content ideas







Idea of the University with Chinese characteristics, the construction, I do not think the number of education experts, professors have the final say, nor with several prestigious universities to vision. Now China has already shown the diversity of the University of the characteristics of a public office, private, cooperative education, etc., level is the diversity, the University of type is also different, the university has a different position, so the idea is not the University of the same. If all universities in China, according to their university's position, development ideas, characteristics determine the aggregate of the university concept, constitutes the University of concepts with Chinese characteristics.







Modern Concept of foreign countries are not born overnight, is to gradually develop over the Idea of a University of content has also gone through the process of continuously enriched. The earliest concept of only paying attention to teaching college, and later developed into a focus of attention to teaching also, and then later developed into a focus on teaching, research and service to the community, then it developed into a teaching, research, service to the community and lead the community is now being developed into a teaching, research service to the community, leading social and international.







Referring to foreign university, I think the university with Chinese characteristics, the content idea is this. Da Xue is to obtain knowledge of the place (not only to impart), exercise capacity (ability to learn, practice, innovation) in place, the University's Research (nothing to do with Mai Mai in business) to serve the community spirit of the University (advocating Zhen Li) impact on society, universities to integrate into the international community.
