摘要

可持续发展是当今世界的一个目标,而可持续发展目标(SDGs)则是一个以动荡、不确定、复杂和模糊为特征的世界的指导框架。作为具有独特全球定位的研究型大学,世界一流大学(WCU)在促进全球可持续发展方面发挥着关键作用,但不同的世界一流大学在促进全球可持续发展的方式和程度上可能存在很大差异。通过收集和编码来自 60 所世界一流大学的大量官方文本数据,本研究表明,世界一流大学对全球可持续发展的贡献体现在以下五个方面:教育与研究、外联与参与、校园运营与交通、景观与生态系统以及全球领导力与影响评估。此外,研究结果还揭示了世界一流大学在促进全球可持续发展方面的不同重点,并根据其重点领域确定了四个不同的世界一流大学集群,即总体平衡型、学术主导型、外部关联型和内部改革型。本研究还试图构建一个框架来衡量世界基督教大学对全球可持续发展的贡献,该框架有助于将世界基督教大学的贡献描述为表达性、建设性、投射性和评价性。

Conceptualizing and comparing world-class universities’ contributions to global sustainability: Pathways, priorities and potential indicators
Sustainability is a goal for today, with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) acting as a guiding framework in a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. As research universities with distinctive global orientations, world-class universities (WCUs) are key players in promoting global sustainability, though there may be wide variation across WCUs in how, and to what degree, they are promoting global sustainability. By collecting and coding vast amounts of official textual data from 60 WCUs, this study indicates that WCUs’ contributions to global sustainability can be seen in the following five dimensions: education and research, outreach and engagement, campus operation and transportation, landscapes and ecosystems, and global leadership and impact evaluation. Additionally, the results reveal different priorities of WCUs in promoting global sustainability, identifying four distinctive clusters of WCUs based on their focus areas, designated as generally-balanced, academically-dominated, externally-associated, and internally-reformed. This study also attempts to construct a framework to measure WCUs’ contributions to global sustainability, which is useful to characterize WCUs’ contributions as expressive, constructive, projective, and evaluative.

期刊介绍: The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
