| Abstract: | The knowledge-based society and its consequences have brought great changes in higher education. Universities in China are facing challenges from both constant global trends and ongoing domestic social transition. The quantitative expansion and qualitative improvment, in parallel with the relocation of the government’s power and market-oriented resource flow, form a complicated social context and individual institutions now have more flexibility in decision-making and self-governance, though at the same time they have to be more responsible and accountable in doing their jobs. The paper uses macrocausal analysis combined with a case study to depict the complexity of university reform in China. Tsinghua University, particularly its efforts in reforming undergraduate education, will be discussed with the focus on strengthening undergraduate research. Generally speaking, Tsinghua’s major concern in undergraduate education during these years has been to improve quality rather than quantitative expansion, which affects the reformation of training objectives, curriculum development and major strategies in teaching and learning. The paper will show from these three aspects what Tsinghua has tried in practice on the bases of environmental changes and theoretical orientation. |
