    Higher education is the cornerstone of national development, and the transformational development of higher education is the power source of constructing an innovative country. In an era of momentous changes unseen in a century, the system and various institutions of higher education are in urgent need of transformation in China. Taking “university” as the basic concept, this article explores the connotation of university transformational development, the experience of Western universities in this aspect, and the particularities of the transformational development of Chinese universities. Western universities have undergone many transformations in its thousand-year history, and its development “pattern” has gradually stabilized. However, there is no stabilized and localized “pattern” has been formed in China with hundred years of transformational development. Completely copying the model of Western countries can not meet the needs of constructing an innovative country in China. The university transformational development is a systematic project, including the educational concept transformation, systematical transformation, organizational transformation, discipline transformation, professional transformation and talent training model transformation. The transformational development of Chinese universities has its own particularities. It is not only necessary to get rid of the dependence on the previous model, but also to explore the Chinese model and experience of transformation from the systematical, especially cultural level.

    In the 100-year history of higher education in China, the Communist Party of China(CPC) has always taken a leading role in China’s higher education. From the issue of leadership in the early days of the founding of the CPC to the initial realization of the CPC’s unified leadership in the period of the new democratic revolution, from the exploration of “CPC leadership in everything” after the founding of New China to strengthening and improving CPC’s leadership after Economic Reform and open up, until the CPC’s comprehensive higher education is realized in the new era Leadership, the CPC’s leadership of higher education has grown from scratch, from region to country, and from partial to comprehensive. This is not only a theoretical summary of one’s own governing laws, but also a historical result of a deeper understanding of the laws of socialist construction and the laws of human social development. In the new era that is marching towards the second century of the goal of building a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way, we must unswervingly adhere to the CPC’s overall leadership of higher education and further improve the CPC’s institutional guarantee for the overall leadership of higher education, and build a strong socialist higher education country with Chinese characteristics.

    The higher education of China has entered the stage of popularization. The growth of the scale of higher education indicates that higher education system will change greatly. Postgraduate education is located at the top of the higher education system, and will enter a critical period of transformation from big to powerful. Based on the growth of gross enrollment rate in the popularization of higher education, this paper selects the three typical representative countries of the United States, Britain and South Korea as the research objects. Analyzes the development and change of postgraduate education from four primary indicators such as scale, structure, supporting conditions and internationalization and nine secondary indicators such as the graduate-to-undergraduate enrollment ratio(GUR) and sorts out the common signs. It is found that the GUR can identify the development status of postgraduate education. According to the change of GUR, the development of postgraduate education can be divided into three stages: elite stage, GUR is less than 15%; mass postgraduate education, GUR is between 15%~50%, of which 15%~30% is the primary mass stage and 30%~50% is the post mass stage; popularization stage, GUR should exceed 50%. Meanwhile,there are three development sequences between the mass postgraduate education and the popularization of higher education. Based on this division principle, we can make clear the stage of postgraduate education and predict the future development of the postgraduate education in China. Accordingly,we could find out the development direction for higher education, and provide stage warning and index for the construction of a powerful country of postgraduate education .

    Based on the 2017 national survey of PhD graduates, this paper explores the influencing factors of PhDs’ regional mobility, and focuses on the employment of PhDs in the western region. The study found that there is a geographical effect in the choice of employment location for PhDs. If PhD’s institution is located in the same place as the place of residence or pre-degree university, the PhD is more likely to stay and work locally. PhDs in the West are more likely to work in universities and scientific research institutions than those in the East, and the outflow of PhDs in the west is mainly manifested in the employment groups of enterprises. In addition, although Chengdu-Chongqing area has a good retention rate for locally-trained PhDs, it is less attractive to PhDs from other regions. The above results support the important role of universities and innovative enterprises construction in the accumulation of PhD talents. In order to attract more PhDs, on the one hand, the western region should rely on local universities to train PhD graduates, and on the other hand, it should pay attention to building high-level universities and innovative enterprises.

    The “3+X” program is a commanding height in the reform of college entrance examination subject, and has trans-era significance. The new college entrance examination reform is the inheritance and development of the “3+X” program. We should conscientiously clarify the internal logic and path inheritance of the college entrance examination reform and the “3+X” program, and deeply understand the theoretical value and practical significance of the “3+X” program in contemporary college entrance examination reform. The practice of the new college entrance examination reform has opened a “window period” for the return to the “3+X” program. Returning to the “origin” of the “3+X”program, which is “open, inclusive, pluralistic and independent”, is an inevitable trend to further deepen the reform of college entrance examination. It is also an inevitable requirement to implement the transformation of high school education mode, connect with the construction of high-level undergraduate education in colleges and universities, and promote more comprehensive and personalized development of students. In view of the challenges faced by the return to “3+X” program, such as the aggravation of students’ partial subjects, the aggravation of “hot and cold imbalance” in the selected subjects, the “same score and different quality” in the grading system, and the lack of matching enrollment system in colleges and universities, we should actively promote the reform of high school education mode, further improve the academic proficiency test system, reform the grading method, strengthen the traction of enrollment plan and examination subjects, and give colleges and universities the autonomy to recruit students according to law.

    Based on a survey of 6 607 student teachers in 13 universities in China, a structural equation model was used to analyze the influencing factors and mechanism of student teachers’ intention to teach online. The results show that: student teachers’ behavior intention(BI) of online teaching in the future is influenced by their experience of online learning(EOL), the universities’ support for online teaching(SS), teacher educators’ online teaching(TET), and their perceived ease of use(PEU) and perceived usefulness(PU) of online teaching. While universities’ support for online teaching does not directly influence student teachers’ willingness to teach online, it can exert an indirect influence on student teachers’ behavior intention of online teaching by influencing their perceptions of teacher educators’ online teaching. The study suggests that it is necessary to strengthen the support of online teaching in universities and to improve the modelling of teacher educators in online teaching. In this way, student teachers can appreciate the usefulness of online teaching and develop their willingness to teach online in the future.

    Due to extensive inbreeding, the academic and vocational system in Chinese colleges and universities is naturally divided into two groups: inbreeding faculties and non-inbreeding faculties, and there are fierce conflicts between them. Whether non-inbreeding faculties can be admitted to the currently employed universities is one of the focal points of the contradiction. Therefore, this research uses big data research method to collect and clean 43 455 faculties’ resumes from 93 research-oriented universities in China, matching admission scores of faculties’ undergraduate universities and currently employed universities to calculate. The result shows that the problem of inbreeding in Chinese universities is severe; there is indeed a significant difference in college entrance examination performance between the inbreeding faculties and non-inbreeding faculties; “failing to be admitted to currently employed universities” is a common feature of the non-inbreeding faculties, whose admission scores of their undergraduate universities have big gaps with currently employed universities generally, and this is more obvious in “985 Universities”. Besides, there are significant regional differences in the degree of inbreeding and whether they can be admitted to currently employed universities.

    At the end of the 20th century, the UK government broke through the limitations of scientific research and teaching assessment in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and began to assess HEIs social service externally by introducing the “Higher Education Business & Community Interaction(HE-BCI)” survey. Based on a diversified assessment content, effective and stable data collection, and the combination of process assessment and result assessment, the HE-BCI survey has activated the social service function of HEIs successfully. At the end of 2017, the UK government further developed the “Knowledge Exchange Framework” assessment program, and has carried out major reforms in the classified assessment of HEIs, the assessment of public service of HEIs and the presentation of assessment results, which will further encourage HEIs to participate in social service activities. The course of the UK HEIs assessment reforms on social service provides a valuable reference for our country to stimulate the potential of HEIs’ social service.

    The Research Excellence Framework(REF) is a research evaluation system for universities across the UK that has been in place since 2014. On the basis of referencing the results of the REF2014 meta-evaluation, the new round of evaluation REF2021 explores the reform of the evaluation system. In terms of the organization and management of the evaluation, the discipline classification is further optimized, the representativeness of the appointed experts is improved, and the management system of participating scholars is improved. The scale oriented evaluation method was changed in the dimension of scientific research output, the scope of influence was further expanded in the dimension of scientific research impact, and the college-level environmental assessment was added in the dimension of scientific research environment. In order to adapt to the transformation of knowledge production mode, the reform of REF evaluation system in the UK has provided the following references for the reform of scientific research evaluation system in China: establishing the evaluation mechanism of interdisciplinary research; pay attention to the non-academic impact of scientific research achievements; pay attention to the sustainable development of scientific research personnel; we will encourage colleges and universities to create a sound environment for scientific research.

    By using the rule of rank size and spatial Gini coefficient, the paper analyzes the spatial distribution of higher education resources in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta urban agglomerations, and makes an empirical study on its impact on innovation by full FGLS. The results show that: the higher education resources in the three urban agglomerations present as unicentric special structure and the spatial agglomeration of full-time faculties is much higher than that of students. After considering the industrial size of the urban agglomeration, the spatial distribution of higher education resources in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Yangtze River Delta is more consistent with their industrial distribution, while the higher education resources in Pearl River Delta are concentrated in Guangzhou, while other developed cities have insufficient resources. Universities undertake both educational and scientific research functions, and the spatial layout of different types of college resources have different impacts on the overall innovation ability of urban agglomerations. The multi-center distribution of students is more conducive to the innovation while the scientific research resources has not a trend of spatial dispersion. Therefore, teaching-oriented and application-oriented colleges should be?multi-center?located in urban agglomeration. Research-oriented universities should be located according to the level of city’s scientific research foundation.

    The reform of university-run enterprises in China is an important proposition to build the innovation system and improve the innovation ability of universities. From the perspective of system design, university-run enterprises have experienced four stages: policy encouragement, system encouragement, system supervision, administrative separation and cleaning up. At the same time of achieving the reform results in each stage, university-run enterprises are still facing poor integration of governance and management system, and enterprise behavior is difficult to regulate and how to design the new era monitoring system. The reform of university-run enterprises in the future will focus on the following aspects: (1)return to the main business, integration mechanism, give full play to the power of university-run enterprises, and promote the overall development of science and technology industry in Colleges and universities; (2)value endowing, clear rules, standardized the behavior of university-run enterprises, and stimulating the synergy of university innovation system; (3)performance oriented, iterative information, to build a new era of university-run enterprises with Chinese characteristics supervision system.

    “Effective market + promising government” is the key to managing the mobility of college teachers under market conditions. In the market-oriented transformation of factors, there is a dilemma of double failure in the governance of college teachers’ mobility in China. The distorted market price mechanism and vicious competition for talents with high externalities have caused market failure, and the traditional “command-control” mode has failed, and the formulation law contradicts itself, which has led to the failure of government intervention. Incentive legal regulation is considered as a governance strategy that can overcome double failures because of its value of respecting market rules, weakening administrative control and pursuing educational fairness. Under the original market model and regulatory structure, it guides the rational allocation of college teachers’ resources through the technical logic of “incentive compatibility”, and the practical logic of legal incentives, such as the distribution of rights-obligations, costs-benefits, and the granting of special treatment, qualifications and honors. Therefore, it is necessary to examine and improve the current legal system from macro and micro aspects to ensure the governance effect.

    In the context of the deepening reform of my country’s degree system and the formulation of the “Degree Law”, the case of Chai XX has raised questions and discussions on the exercise of the degree-granting power of secondary colleges. From the three levels of power norms, theoretical accumulation, and legal reasons, we examine the logical roots of the degree-granting power of secondary colleges, and summarize the degree-granting procedures from the practice review that favor “recognition” rather than “relief” and the degree-granting standards, from “refinement” to “setting” and other issues, and then from the source and nature of power, meaning and performance of examining and delineating the boundaries of the exercise of the degree-granting power of secondary colleges. In the new stage, regulating the exercise of the degree-granting power of secondary colleges should follow the principles of legality and rationality, and promote the unification of academic autonomy of secondary colleges with the applicant’s degree application rights and the coupling of degree-granting autonomy with legal authorization to achieve self-control of entity norms; It should focus on upholding comprehensiveness and practicality, with the system of procedural rights as the core, strengthening the due process of degree awarding, taking the accessibility of procedural rights as the key, standardizing the relief procedures for non-granting degrees, and taking the predetermination of expert review as the guarantee, standardizing the relief procedures for degree cancellation, so as to achieve the procedural norms.
