Our Country Higher Education Massification Policy Research

Our country higher education massification reflects the characteristic of numerous new policies and reforms. Particularly in the social transformation period, the political and economic system reforms often, the policy leads the higher education reform and development as the sail light. Our country higher education massification policy takes on a dynamic state of history evolve process and shows different stage development characteristics. Period separation can help to explore backgrounds and influential factors of some important policies. The research supports the viewpoint that our country higher education massification policy is affected by many factors, such as economy, politics and humanities, etc. There appear many policy problems in the popularize progress.Higher education massification is an important stage of higher education development,and also the inevitable trend of our country higher education development. Higher education massification basic goal is to expand and realize equity. From the content of the development, higher education massification should comprise quantity, quality, structure and efficiency as a whole, featured with harmonize and sustainable. This research will concentrate on some important policies which are the main policies of our country higher education massification policies. Then higher education expansion policy, educational quality policy, the combination of higher education institutions policy, and higher education charging tuition and financial aid policy are defined. A rational model should be introduced to go deeply into these policies.The rational model with the incrementalist approach is the most basic policy analytical model. Rationality refers to consistent, value-maximizing choice within specified constraints. The rational model suggests decision should found on full or limited rationality. The incrementalist approach presents an alternative model, referred to as the art of"muddling through",treats the new policy as the revisement of old policy and advocates multi-type policy decision mechanism. From the point of idealization of the plan, policy should contain both science and democracy. The reasonable models should let the two basic model repair with each other. Mixed-scanning outlines a third approach to social decision making in combining elements of both earlier approaches, is neither as utopian in its assumptions as the first model nor as conservative as the second. Mixed-scanning reduces the unrealistic aspects of rationalism by limiting the details required in fundamental decisions and helps to overcome the conservative slant of incrementalism by exploring the long-running alternatives. The mixed-scanning model makes this dualism explicit by combining high-order, fundamental policy-making processes which set basic directions and incremental ones which prepare for fundamental decisions and work them out after they have been reached. The flexibility of the different scanning levels makes mixed-scanning a useful strategy for decision-making in different environment.Based on the standard of quality and development,our country higher education massification policy does not reflect the idea well and has some shortcomings. The usage admixture scans our country higher education massification policy the pretext set previously. The dual model research carries on the analysis and comparison, and make a commentary. From the rational model, our country higher education massification policy original intension is at least purposively rational, but the result is somewhat not the bear fruit of rational model. Even if the government policy original basis is of reasonableness judgment, but afterward fruit does not necessarily this kind of reasonableness. That kind of problem defining, the target setting, the project evaluation and finally last decision in the real life, especially at change period is hard to go through step by step. From the incremental approach, the progress of our higher education massification policy shows paradox of gradually entering characteristic. In higher education realm we carry on the very radical reform, specially performance at higher education system reform and scale development. Also our higher education massification policy lacks the system and mechanisms required by the incremental approach for democracy participates and the very good body in making policy.To seek and optimize our country higher education massification policy model, people should adapt two kinds of models practical function to the state of our country. With the limited reasonableness frame for foundation, absorbing the reasonable parts of the incremental approach, and thus carry out the policy ideal, scientific and democratic, reasonableness and super reasonableness. Such admixture model then can have the most vitality. The according measures should be: to set equity for direction of value; to establish strategic choice of science development; to combine the two basic models and the measures should be tanken to strengthen the policy research and system construction. Democracy participates and the very good body in making policy should be emphasized. Our country higher education massification policy should reflect different needs and also agitate innovation.
