Let's explain the meaning of popular mode first:
1. popularization mode: refers to a country's specific stage of education development, that is, the national education opportunities have reached a relatively universal level.
2. Elite mode: refers to the education of talents with special talents or expertise in certain fields and outstanding performance in certain fields, that is, the education of these "elites".
The premise of elite education is to identify the elite, and the identification of the elite is often based on the popularization of education, because only through general traditional education can the elite be excavated and identified, so as to implement special education for professionals. The formation of elites is a process, and higher education is an important link in this process and an important base for cultivating elites. It plays a fundamental and leading role in the cultivation of "elite".
The connection between mass mode and elite mode and its consequences;
Relationship: Under the background of higher education popularization, elite education and mass education are either one or the other. The popularization of higher education is the inevitable result of the development of national higher education, and the main task of research universities should be based on elite education. Both of them are necessary components of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education. Promoting the scientific development of higher education and building a strong country in higher education require schools to pay more attention to elite education under the overall situation of promoting the popularization of higher education in the country.
1, popular mode:
At present, China's popular higher education presents a single mode in colleges and universities: single discipline and specialty setting, single teaching method, and lack of characteristics and diversity. With the popularization of higher education, there is a lack of correct knowledge and understanding of elites and educational concepts, and the traditional elite education model is single. Therefore, the popularization of higher education in China is only an increase in quantity, and it is a single mode of popularization.
Judging from the data of students at all levels trained in colleges and universities in recent years, the undergraduate students are the largest, which leads to the further expansion of graduate students and doctoral students, while the scale of applied and technical talents is far less than that of undergraduate education, which leads to the shortage or even gap of technical talents and applied talents in China.
2. Elite mode:
The connection between basic education with elite education as the goal and higher education with mass education as the main body, the name and reality of higher education popularization, the serious shortage of higher education investment and serious waste of resources caused by the dislocation and imbalance between elite higher education and mass higher education, the classification and positioning of higher education institutions, and the convergence of higher education institutions caused by a single government management policy. Reasonable classification from coarse to fine is a possible way to solve these main problems.
In practical work, if we don't make a necessary distinction between elite higher education and mass higher education, we will face a lot of operational problems, such as students' learning experience, enrollment and selection, curriculum and teaching forms, school types and models, college governance structure, evaluation index system, forms and regions of social services, etc. We will either be at a loss or be arrogant. Our education will become neither suitable for students nor for society. There is no hierarchy from elite higher education to mass higher education, but there is no distinction between high and low. This classification is not only the classification of concepts, but also the classification of operations.
In a word, the arrival of the popular education stage of higher education has promoted the overall education level of China people to a new level, and also put forward new challenges to running colleges and universities. While completing popular education, colleges and universities should maintain their own advantages in disciplines and majors, on the other hand, they should reconstruct their development orientation according to their own characteristics and social needs, improve disciplines and majors according to this new requirement, and provide elites needed by all walks of life while ensuring the delivery of a large number of high-quality talents to the society.
