【摘要】 英国高校科研评价对英国高校科研质量的提高发挥了重要作用。首次高校科研评价于1986年进行,至今已经进行了五次,第六次高校科研评价将于2008年底完成。目前英国高校科研评价由英国高等教育基金委员会组织,采用以学科为基础的同行专家评价方法,对英国高等教育机构递交的不同的科研成果形式进行评价,评价结果将科研申请分为不同的等级,高等教育基金委员会根据评价结果分配次年的高校科研经费。随着实践的发展,评价结果也开始被英国其他评价组织或机构所用。本论文首先对高校科研评价的基本概念做一梳理,并简要介绍了高校科研评价在荷兰、德国、丹麦和澳大利亚的发展情况。然后本论文分析了英国高校科研评价开展的理论背景、制度背景和现实背景,接着本论文对英国六次高校科研评价概况进行了详细论述,在此基础上本论文第四章对英国高校科研评价的演变历程和发展特征进行了总结概括。本论文获得的结论有:(1)英国高校科研评价坚持以学科为基础的同行专家评价;(2)英国高校科研评价的管理机构为中介组织,很好的协调了高校与国家间的关系;(3)英国高校科研评价过程日益规范化和透明化;(4)英国高校科研评价注重发展性评价,由重视评价结果转向更加重视评价过程,重视评价对英国高校科研质量的整体影响;(5)政府通过拨款宏观调控高校科研方向和质量,使科研为国家整体发展服务。更多还原

【Abstract】 The university Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) of UK plays a vital role in the quality advancement of UK research. The first RAE took place in 1986 and the sixth RAE will be finished in late 2008. The RAE is conducted by the Higher Education Funding Committee (HEFC) and it is based on peer expert review. The RAE evaluates the submissions from higher education institutions that are eligible to receive funding from HEFC. The result is to be dividend into different rating scales and research funding is distributed to different higher education according to the result.In this article, firstly, the author briefly analyses the definition of university research assessment, and introduces the university research assessment practices in Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Australia. Then the author analyses the theory background, system background and reality background of the UK university research assessment. Thirdly the author describes the six research assessments in detail. Basing on this point, the author sums up the evolvement process, development characteristics and development trend of the research assessment in UK.The article concludes that: (1) UK university research assessment consists on peer expert review based on academic discipline; (2) The RAE is conducted by third-party agency, which plays as an buffer between university and government; (3) The assessment process becomes more normalized and transparent; (4) The RAE pays more attention to developmental assessment and emphasis on whole impact on higher educations’research quality; (5) The government macro controls the universities’research focuses and quality by research funding.更多还原
