摘要:

 拥有众多的诺贝尔自然科学奖获得者是世界一流大学的象征。通过对诺贝尔自然科学奖获得者学历的追溯,凸显了这些科学精英获奖前所受的高等教育,包括攻读与取得大学本科和研究生学位,高度集中于世界一流大学;考察诺贝尔自然科学奖获得者从事其获奖研究工作的地点,表明他们也都高度集中于世界一流大学;分析世界一流大学所具有的通识教育、科学研究与研究生培养一体化、拥有世界一流学术水平的优势学科和雄厚的师资队伍等基本特征,揭示了世界一流大学造就和培养创新人才的独特模式与机制,描述了诺贝尔自然科学奖获得者在世界一流大学中是如何一步步被酝酿、塑造出来的;借鉴世界一流大学的成功经验,就当代中国创建世界一流大学的根本缘由、面临的主要问题、存在的差距和实现的基本途径等,进行了较为充分地讨论。与世界一流大学相比,中国的名牌大学或重点大学所存在的差距并不仅仅体现在一些国际通行的可比性指标上,如拥有诺贝尔奖获得者数、年均发表的论文数、论文被引用数、科研经费数、师生比例等,还表现在教师中享誉国际的一流学者和学术大师稀缺、特色和优势学科不鲜明、鲜有高水平的原创性成果以及培养的学生难以适应经济社会发展的需要等方面,更突出地反映在学校的办学理念、办学机制和管理模式上,如办学理念的缺失或失守、角色定位的单一化(一味搞“大而全”的综合性大学,导致同质化现象,使学校失去各自的特色)、管理模式的行政化及办学自主权的缺乏等。通过改革创新,在办学理念、办学机制、管理体制诸方面突破原有的范式,实现跨越式的发展,在当代中国创建世界一流大学是完全可能的。

Abstract:

One of the symbols of the firstrate university in the world is to own numerous winners of the Nobel Prize for natural science. As long as we trace the personal experience of the winner of the Nobel Prize for natural science, we can get a fact that these science elites, before getting a prize, accept their high education, including working and obtaining the degrees of undergraduates and postgraduates, almost in the firstrate university in the world. And a survey of their workingsites for researches also shows that they are highly concentrated in the firstrate university. This essay, by analyzing the general education, the integration of scientific study and postgraduate training, the subject of superiority, and the highquality teaching faculty, all of which are characteristic of the firstrate university in the world, discloses the unique pattern and mechanism of nurturing creative talents in these universities, describing in these universities, how the winner of the Nobel Prize for natural science is trained and molded step by step. And the author, by drawing on the successful experience of the firsrate university in the world, has a full discussion of the basic reasons, faced problems, existing differences and achieved paths of China' s founding of the firstrate university in the world. He holds that, compared with the firstrate university in the world, China' s difference of famous or key universities not only embodies some of internationally accepted reference data, but also displays the shortage of the topgrade scholar and master who enjoy prestige in the world, the absence of the distinguished subject of specialty and superiority, the scarcity of the highlevel achievement in originality, the student' s inadaptability to the demand of social, economic development, especially the dated running principle, running pattern and management style. Finally he points out that, by reform and innovation, China will break the old running, administrative mode, and realize the greatleapforward development. It is quite possible, in contemporary China, to found the firstrate university in the world. China will definitely produce the firstrate university in the world which possesses its own winners of the Nobel Prize.

Key words: Nobel Prize for natural science; first-rate unisity in the world; general education; integration of scientific study and postgraduate training
