At the beginning of 20 century, the ecological philosophy arisen stealthi1y hasnot only come to being the theoretic yiews and the methods of thinking that peopleuse to cognize the world but also has provided the brand new methodologica1 directionto study the issues in university's academy, which can broaden our horizon and makeour thoughts more scientific. Starting from the ecology and the c1ue of the effectof the envirofunent to uniyersity's academy to research theories and factual prob1emsof the developments in the university's academy will not only be likely to improyethe theories of research of higher education but also can provide actual directionsin the academic reforms of Chinese universities in the new century.As an exceptional ecological system, the university itself is just an outcome of"heredity and environment". But the substantial contrast between it and otherecologica1 systems is based on academic and educative nature. At present the logicalcontradictions from university and the influences from the environment have brokenthe balance of academic circumstances and there are crises lurking or even outbursting between whiles. And traditional educational theories can' t justifythemse1ves any longer, meanwhile, the outdated ideas and methods are inadequate,which lead to the coexistence of the "heredity and aberrance" and the "balance andunbalance". Therefore universities should reform adaptively. As universities adaptand lead the development of external environment, the modification and optimizationof the academic environment ought to be on stake. Then it's to be expected that anew academic environment in university come out.University's academies concentrate on researches.teachings and intellectualservices. In this article the university's academic ecology refers to the views andapplications about "knowledge ecotype" based on certain academic goals.Firstly it analyses ecological principles and philosophy fit for nature. societyand university's academic activities and phenomenon from the unique standpoint ofresearching university's academic problems, which sequentially discusses the viewsand methods of ecological analysis in university's academy, including body andenvironment.heredity and variation. balance and imbalance. symbiosis and competition,and which regards systematic concepts. dynamic concepts. balancing concepts andholistic concepts as the important foundational directions of academic research. Itproves this way will be liable to make the theories of higher education we have benefitfrom such analysis and research.Then the article states that subjects and scholars from the standpoint of theeffects on the eco1ogical principal part caused by ecological environment are thebasic principal part of university's academic activities and formed university'sacademic ecological system followed by ecological environment which is formed byin-school and after-school environment. Besides, discip1ines are the platform ofuniversity's academic activities. In the view of history and reality. university'sacademy mu1tip1ies with particu1ar academic ecologic81 environment. Generallyspeaking, academic eco1ogical environment can be optimized When the academy isf1ourishing. The history of moderti universities that developed from rudimentarystage to flourishing stage can prove that the academic achievements of "Jixiaacademy" and ~ invisible institute', so do the Cavendish Laboratory and the SiliconVa1ley. Focusing on university's internal academic ecologica1 pattern, we shou1d beaware it is remarkab1y important to explore the bases. principles and tactics ofinterna1 academic eco1ogica1 environment which is the theoretica1 base of instructinghov to construct and deve1op it.As the core of higher education, university academy shou1d be the choice of va1ueguided by some higher educationa1 phi1osophy because of its reasonab1e direction.The changes of academic ecological...
