Research on the Path to High-Quality Development in Higher Education

Abstract

Against the backdrop of the global knowledge economy and social transformation, the quality of higher education has become a cornerstone of core competitiveness. Traditional, monolithic conceptions of quality and external assurance models struggle to meet the demands of this complex era. This study aims to systematically explore the pathways for high-quality development in higher education. It begins with a multidimensional understanding and theoretical reconstruction of quality, establishing an integrated evaluation framework to lay the foundation for a paradigm shift. Subsequently, it analyzes the internal mechanisms, revealing the nonlinear interactions among core drivers and the dynamic processes of quality generation. Finally, the study proposes systematic practical pathways, encompassing integrated top-level design, synergistic mechanisms for key elements, and data-driven dynamic optimization strategies. This provides theoretical reference and practical guidance for higher education institutions to achieve substantive and sustainable development.
