Abstract: With the development of world higher education and the acceleration of economic globalization, the internationalization of higher education is becoming more important. As an far-reaching strategy for the development of higher education, many countries have issued policies to create world-class universities in order to enhance the comprehensive strength and international competitiveness of their universities. “Double-First-Class” Discipline Construction is an inevitable choice for Chinese higher education, and it is also an urgent need for economy and politics in China. The goal of “Double-First-Class” Construction is to build a world-class university. In September 2017, Ministry of Education announced the list of first-class universities. And the first-class universities drawn up and announced their first-class university construction strategy and subject development plans. "Building a world-class university with Chinese characteristics and a world-class discipline in China" is not only the vision of higher education in China, but also the development goal of all colleges and universities.
The “Double-First-Class” Discipline Construction plan of each university is generally based on the benchmarking of the world university ranking system, core journals and other academic evaluation system such as ESI, JCR, and Scopus. The university rankings, reflecting the level of colleges and universities has become a global phenomenon. It provides comparable information among colleges and universities. These evaluation systems have profound effects upon the development and construction of Chinese universities, including but not limited to discipline, faculty, enrollment scale, teaching model and curriculum settings. “Double-First-Class” Construction is funded by disciplines, and the list is adjusted every five years. This list is bound to influence the pattern of higher education in China in the future. So “Double-First-Class” Construction standard not only has the possibility of influencing ecology of universities, but also has the risk in the discipline construction due to misunderstanding or over-interpretation.
From the standpoint of group behavior, explores the logic of “Double-First-Class” Construction plan of universities in China. And statistical research on the related data of “Double-first-class” construction list published by the Ministry of Education in September 2017, analyses the influence factor and its’ risks. Based on the interpretation of the construction schemes of “Double First-Class” university projects, outlines the basic layout of the disciplines of the first-class universities in China, and shows the realistic influence of the two-class construction disciplines, so as to reference for further higher education development in China. The results show:
(1)"Double-First-Class" Construction and development is the consensus all of Chinese universities. Benchmarking management is the main idea of universities strategy plan. The reference system such as QS，THE，US News、ARWU and ESI or Scopus has a profound impact on the construction and development of universities. But thus reference system is deficient in practice standards. Therefore, it cannot be directly used as the basis for dynamic monitoring and effectiveness evaluation of “Double First -Class” Construction.
(2)In the list of “Double-First-Class” Construction, science and engineering disciplines are in the majority, especially true in engineering disciplines. And humanities and social sciences are in the minority. The imbalance between disciplines is obvious, and brings Matthew effect of discipline construction.
(3)The risk of involution in the field of university development and discipline construction has begun to emerge. The inferior disciplines face to another risk of cancellation or abolition due to insufficient resources. Too more resources, cause the scale of dominant disciplines increasing, more researchers and students, forming a "over-dense" state, and maintain a stable or slow development state.Then remind of that the diversity of disciplines and balanced development is the root of “Double First-Class” Construction.
So far as the innovation that is concerned, it is valuable that provide more and more funds, facilities and scientists, when there is a big gap with the advanced level of the subject field. It was because that clear goals and study paths, has shown the direction of imitation and the way to fellow. But there is no gap with the advanced level of the subject field, there is no object to follow, nothing can be imitated, then multi-channel exploration is necessary. Exploration means moving towards the unknown. And the unknown means cannot give the plans and preset routes.
Meanwhile, another goal of “Double-First-Class” Discipline Construction is adhere to the academic independence with Chinese characteristics. To achieve this strategic goal, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on natural sciences and practical applied sciences. It also needs humanities and social sciences. To set up the academic independence and academic equality mechanism of policy in higher education is great important from the basic standpoints of cultural equality, pluralism, academic autonomy and self-reliance.
Once the university development plan and key disciplines have been identified, it will have a profound impact on academic research and university development in a long period of time. The implementation of “Double-First-Class” Discipline Construction plan not only has the possibility of influencing or changing the discipline ecology of universities, but also has the realistic risk in discipline construction caused by misunderstanding or over-interpretation. Therefore, in the process of policy formulation and implementation of university strategic plan, it is necessary to combine the personalized practical needs of each university, and find the suitable way to develop its own personality and discipline characteristics. And remind of that the diversity and equilibrium of disciplines is so important to prevent the Matthew effect and the Involution Risk, and promote the independent development of higher education in China. “Double-First-Class” Discipline construction coherent aimed at achieving world standards and keeping Chinese characteristics.
Academic innovation is the source power of scientific research and development, and a decisive factor in the development of a country’s scientific undertakings.Interdisciplinary strategy can effectively promote academic innovation. If a university is open, it means that each discipline in the university can control its own destiny. Then the university will form its own personality and discipline characteristics, and become a growing organism. The study also provides decision-making reference for realizing the historic leap during the development of higher education in China. And clarify the internal logic of “Double-First-Class” Construction of higher education, and grasp the practical path of “Double-First-Class” Construction.
