Contributing to the discussion over China's higher education
development, this book takes a theoretical approach to address the
topic of university academics' innovation by introducing an
academic innovation competency model, exploring the contexts,
concepts and practices. The innovation competency model comprises
three interdependent dimensions, including the academic internal
drive vitality, the academic synthesizing refined ability and the
academic suspected and introspective ability. By enriching the
theory of professional development of university teachers, these
three dimensions will help advance the reform of college personnel
systems and ultimately improve the quality of China's higher
education. The book will be valuable to researchers, students and
stakeholders hoping to learn about education reform in China, or to
those who study higher education management and comparative
education.
