| In order to go with the stream of mass higher education, raise undergraduates'cultural level, meet the requirements of society for talents, some colleges and universities have set up the diversified-level classes one after another. Such methods as reading documents, making a social investigation, making a questionnaire and analyzing the materials statistically are put to use to inquire into the recent research and practice of some universities, especially of USST, providing valuable theoretical reference for the purpose of perfecting the multi-layered education.The dissertation is mainly made up of four sections. To begin with, I outlined the history and current situation of the multi-layered education, pointing out its defects. And then I analyzed the necessity and feasibility of continuing to develop it in domestic universities. Secondly, I expounded the connotation of the multi-layered education, and put forward the objectives, bases and principles of carrying it out. Thirdly, I raised the essential conditions of developing the multi-layered education, clarifying the relation between each condition and the multi-layered education. Last but not least, I appraised the effectiveness of the multi-layered education and predicted its prospects.Although there are some defects in it, the multi-layered education is protruding from higher education circles on the grounds that its advocates have the courage to face the internal contradictions in the course of development of colleges and universities, break through the conventions of traditional education, give heed to undergraduates'all-round developments, and keep pace with the implementation of quality education. The conclusion can be drawn from the author's exposition and proof that the education reform is supposed to contribute its share to the development of higher education provided that the advocates remedy its defects by sticking to the right direction of reform and adopting rational suggestions. |
