2020&Year1Month5Day Afternoon, organized by the Higher Education Research Center“SUSTech Research”The first seminar was held in the school administration building.401The meeting room was held. Representatives from the school's party and government office, human resources department, publicity and public relations department, finance department, scientific research department, planning and development department, library, admissions office, teaching work department, student work department, laboratory and equipment management department, general affairs and space office, language center, art center, sports center, math department, etc.50The remaining people attended the meeting. The Center for Higher Education“SUSTech Research”as one of the current key research topics and areas. The purpose of this symposium is to mobilize the university's higher education research forces to carry out research on SUSTech itself. To this end, the Higher Education Center launched“SUSTech Research Platform”。

 

Professor Shen Hong, Director of the Higher Education Research Center, chaired the seminar. She explained the similarities and differences between "SUSTech research" and "campus-based research" and "university research", and introduced the "university research" situation underway nationwide. She believes that "SUSTech Research" is bottom-up research, which mainly uses school data and information from practice. The research objects include the development and reform process of SUSTech, the relationship between the operation of school practice and the theory of higher education. She introduced that the invitees of the "SUSTech Research" Yantai Association were mainly part-time researchers of the pre-employed higher education research center, current or graduated education doctorates scattered in various departments of the school, heads of relevant functional departments and their faculty representatives. Professor Shen Hong hopes that the participants will be able to carry out "brainstorming" and speak freely. "SUSTech Research" needs to list the much-needed research topics step by step according to the specific problems encountered by the university in the process of "rooting the Chinese land and building a world-class research university", and use the form of commissioned research to mobilize the majority of researchers to participate in the research. According to the study plan, it is necessary to2020&Year12Submit some research results before the month as a gift for the 10th anniversary celebration of SUSTech Research to the school.

 

Chen Siqi, Standing Committee of the School Party Committee and Secretary-General of the School Council, pointed out that looking back on the road taken in the past ten years, there is a lot of research that can be done for an innovative university. It is hoped that "SUSTech Research" will bring together the wisdom of everyone and carry out research creatively. It is necessary to base on the fundamentals of the school and help the school's "double first-class" construction and development. It is also necessary to explain the relationship between the school and the city in the context of the integration of the "two districts" and explore the modern university governance model. It is necessary to have iconic outputs and play a role in leading the development of new colleges and universities across the country. The school should guarantee academic guidance, financial support, and data information.

 

Professor Huang Geng, Minister of Teaching Work, said that the school has a research team specializing in higher education, which is very important for the development of the school. Due to the limitations of short school running time and small accumulation of results, new schools will encounter difficulties in filling out forms when participating in various teaching evaluations across the country. He believes that SUSTech needs to have a voice in the education community. "SUSTech Research" can start with the application of the Excellent Teaching Achievement Award, promote it in many ways, and publicize the achievements and experiences of the school in teaching research and reform.

 

Zhang Ling, Standing Committee Member of the School Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda and Public Relations, said at the meeting that he proposed to the school that "this year,9Month10Researchers engaged in ‘SUSTech research‘ will be recognized as a category winner in the Teachers’ Day recognition. "" SUSTech Research "should focus on empirical research, discover the real problems in academia, and focus on research in engineering education, college education, innovation education and other aspects. Higher education research centers can provide scientific research method guidance to colleagues who are engaged in administrative work and willing to engage in research to improve everyone's ability to analyze and solve problems.

 

The director of the library, E He, stressed that SUSTech should carry out research and construction in three aspects: benchmarking world-class research universities, rooting in China, and "creating knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship". Only by doing the work at hand and doing things steadfastly can we build a new era of merit, which confirms that SUSTech is China's experimental field for higher education reform. Student Work Department Minister Xue Zhen and Vice Minister Yang Zaiyong hope that "SUSTech Research" can find solutions to practical problems in academic management and student training. Tan Jianwei, Director of the Admissions Office, talked about the school's adoption of comprehensive evaluation based on college entrance examination.631"Enrollment model to explore how to adopt a more scientific and reasonable method to recruit outstanding high school students to study at South University. Ma Dongmei, deputy director of the Party and Government Office, proposed that as a recorder, witness and builder of the development of SUSTech, I think that what we urgently need to solve at present is to actively respond to the call of the Ministry of Education and explore in depth the new model of modern university governance system and top innovative talent training. Geng Zheng, Deputy Secretary-General of the Alumni Office, expressed interest in research on issues such as alumni tracking research and student training, and looked forward to more support from the Higher Education Research Center in teacher training, and expected" SUSTech Research "to list sub-topic research projects for members.

 

The atmosphere at the meeting was enthusiastic, and the participants spoke enthusiastically. Everyone agreed that SUSTech is currently accelerating towards the goal of building a world-class university. This process requires planning at the top of the school. It is urgent to study and summarize the experience and achievements of SUSTech along the way. Being rooted in the land of China and running a Chinese university requires the active contribution of every Southern Scientist.

 

In his summary, Professor Shen Hong introduced the six major areas that the Higher Education Research Center will focus on in the future, including university student development research, higher education evaluation research, higher education informatization research, higher education internationalization research, higher education big data research, and higher engineering education research. The Higher Education Research Center plans to promote the four major series of activities of "SUSTech Research": First, a seminar with "problem awareness" is held every two months. Second, nationally renowned research experts from colleges and universities are invited to come to the university to train full-time and part-time staff for the "Theory and Methodology of College Research". Third, the editorial board of the "SUSTech Research Series" has been established, and the "SUSTech Research" series has been published annually by the China Social Science Press. Fourth, encourage everyone to do the "SUSTech Survey", write the "SUSTech Research Report", and publish papers related to the "Development of SUSTech". Together, we will make a brand effect on the theme of "SUSTech Research". It is a historical record of the development process of the "experimental school" of SUSTech.

 

The holding of this seminar indicates that the university has entered a new stage in carrying out "SUSTech research". Driven by the "double benefits" of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and the construction of the Pioneer Demonstration Zone of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, the ambitious goal of "rooting the Chinese land and building a world-class research university" of SUSTech ushers in new development opportunities. In the process of ushering in the "tenth anniversary" of the school and moving towards the construction of national "double first-class" universities, systematic research and reflection on the experience, achievements and setbacks since the establishment of the school will play an important role in ensuring the healthy and rapid development of the school in the future. It is expected that the "SUSTech Research" will produce fruitful results as soon as possible.
