Education Development Mechanism (cdm) Theory

With the entrance of the human society to the era of sciential economy, education has been playing a very important role in economic development and civilization of the society. The process of educational development directly manifests its "contribution" to the development of the society. It becomes a must to study this mechanism of educational development not only because the economic development and progress of the society originate such intrinsic demand but also because educational reform generates the demand of self-fulfillment. This dissertation formulates a new theoretical summarization stemmed from systematical perspective, having surveyed various literatures on educational development both at home and abroad, adopted many approaches such as questionnaires, statistical and comparative analysis. It establishes new concept of harmonized and optimized mechanism of educational development based on educational input. It relies on educational structure as a leverage, educational scale as a boundary, educational quality as a guarantee and educational efficiency as an objective.First of all, the dissertation starts with theoretical briefings of the concept and mechanism of educational development. It puts forward the concept of intrinsic development of "four musts" after comprehensive analysis of basic theory of development formulated in present time. The "four musts" goes as follows: the development must base on the international high level; it must harmonize both economic and social progress; it must focus on individual and must be sustainable by itself The dissertation explicitly indicates that sustainable development of education is the hardcore of educational concept in 21st century after comparison of classical and contemporary concept of educational development. The essence of this concept lays stress on sustainability, integrity and harmonized nature of the development. The core of the concept is a coherence of full development between individual and society as a whole. The connotation includes the educational concept that individual is the main body and should be live in harmony with social development, and with other individual, that is, the two harmonized relationships between individual and society, and other individual. However, the formation of concept should follow the rule of development since it is not simply a creation of the new and a discard of the old. It is a process of unification between heritage and development as well as the classical and the modem. Therefore, the key to this educational development is how to conform the reality. All this generates the demand for process mechanism. Five fundamental factors of this mechanism are input, structure, scale, quality and efficiency. The input is a driving force, the structure is to coordinate, the scale is a kind of source, the quality is its core, and the efficiency is its objective. The coordination and harmony among these factors will determine the final outcome of the mechanism of educational development.Secondly, the dissertation dwells on the external environment of the mechanism of educational development. In line with the historical process of educational development, the author realizes that educational development is an objective demand from political, economical and social evolution. They constitute preconditions for educational development as well as the external force that drive and restrain the educational development. These three driving forces vary in tempo during different historical phasesand various external environments of educational development. A certain social education reflects a given political demand of the society from the perspective between political evolution and educational development, which in return will serves for the politics. This is the basic relationship between the politics and education. Any social education does indicate the special political characteristics of its society. Their respective content will be enriched and developed in the reciprocal process. From the perspective of relation between economic and educational development, the economic growth not only has a direct impact on education by providing powerful inputs but also gives rise to large demand for educated personnel, which will give an impetus to the education. However, they are not simply a linear correlation. The education does not always exert a favorable impact on education. The educational system should be established in China to adapt to economic development. From the correlation between political and educational development, the positive relationship can be identified. The higher the educational level of the society, the greater impact on the human development, the faster the social progress will be, and vice versa. The function of education has a different trend with various types of society. The main education is a necessity of social progress and development.The dissertation discusses the problems concerning the mechanism of educational development in China based on theoretical analysis. The author describes the status quo of the mechanism of educational development in China from two features, that is, systematic structure and administrative system after analysis of the pattern of China's educational system. The applicable models have been summarized and established concerning China's high education both under the planned economy and market oriented one to the problems originated from high education. The models point out five pitfalls and problems in China's high education, that is, layout, structure, inputs, adjustment and fairness. The analysis has been done on the structure among national income, fiscal expenditure, and governmental adjustment, as well as on the fairness and allocation of efficiency under the circumstance of overall "resource shortage" in high education. The attention has been paid to the valuation mechanism of China's high education since the valuation of performance has effect on the arrangement of core-system relevant to the level of educational development and efficiency of application. The author indicates the present system, which is lacking of standardized valuation, with unscientific indices and approach of valuation, and immaturity of valuation environment based on the brief analysis of educational valuation mechanism in China. Therefore, the mechanisms should be set up concerning effective orientation, powerful conditionality, scientific valuation, and widely social participation in high educational development. Only after the accurate valuation and surveillance have been done through valuation mechanism towards input, scale, structure, quality and efficiency can the educational mechanism be more viable and flow and allocation of educational resources be normalized.In order to have a profound understanding of the mechanism of educational development, the empirical study has been done on comparison of the mechanism of educational development at home and abroad. This analysis has been carried out in five main categories relative to mechanism of educational development, i.e., the mechanism of state's leading policy, the mechanism of input, the mechanism of resource allocation,...
