The Native and Non-native Characteristics in China's Modern Higher Education

外来性与本土化是近代中国高等教育变革的两大特征,并贯穿于高等教育变革过程。在清末新式教育创始阶段,外来性占主导地位。随着民国时期新式教育的发展,外来高等教育制度渐趋本土化,在教育指导思想、招生考试和教育管理等方面形成新的特征。认识中国近代高等教育演变的双重特征,有助于探索高等教育发展规律,为当今高等教育改革提供有益的历史借鉴。There are the two main characteristics —— native and non-native —— in the modern Chinese higher education reform, which permeated with its whole process of development. The non-native characteristic took a dominant place in the initiating stage of new style education in the late Qing Dynasty. With the development of new style education in the Republic of China, the non-native characteristic in higher education system gradually became localized and new educational characteristics came into existence in such aspects as education guidance, enrollment, examination and education management. Recognition of these characteristics is beneficial to exploring the law of higher education development, providing helpful historical reference to contemporary higher education reform
