Innovation Competency Model (China Perspectives)

Contributing to 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 competence model, exploring the contexts, concepts and practices.

The innovation competence 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 system and ultimately improve the quality of China's higher education.

The book will be valuable to researchers, students and stakeholders hoping to learn the education reform in China or those who study higher education management and comparative education.
