東海大學研究發展處

 

東海大學以基督精神立校，實踐「求真」、「篤信」、「力行」的校訓，研發促使社會進步的科技與知識，培育專業、宏通、多元、開創的東海人。據此，東海大學以成為一所具有深厚博雅底蘊的未來大學為願景。隨著國際趨勢的變動、科技的快速發展以及網路世代多元價值的衝突，加上近年Covid-19疫情對生活及教學型態的影響，都將改變大學價值定位與發展，而東海大學將奠基於以往的成就，邁向未來大學之路。

 

本校以未來大學之意涵為基礎，設定「建立彈性制度，打造積極向上的組織文化」、「推動翻轉教學，建立以學生為中心的學習環境」、「整合科技，實踐目標導向之創新教學」、「引進校外資源，共同培育永續跨域人才」四大目標作為努力之方向。

為了讓東海學子能實踐「勇敢創新」、「科技人文兼備」、「多元跨域」、「世界公民」與「僕人領袖」；讓師長能實踐「教育理想」、「社會影響」、「永續發展」與「專業成長」，學校有必要建立一個有效能、尊重多元學術價值與實踐師生夢想的平台，籌組一個沒有私心、勤於溝通與高執行力之學術與行政團隊，因此，本校制定「行政革新」、「跨域典範」、「永續發展」、「國際接軌」四大構面，據此研擬教育新思維，訂定教育新方針，擘劃中長程校務發展計畫。

Tunghai University's motto is Truth, Faith, and Deed. The University aims to research and develop knowledge and technologies that can facilitate social progress and cultivate innovative Tunghai students with expert knowledge and a broad vision. The vision of Tunghai University is to become an “innovative and outstanding university with a strong liberal arts foundation.” With changing international trends, rapid technological advancements, and the clash of diverse values in the internet era, coupled with the impact of the recent COVID-19 pandemic on life and education, the positioning and development of universities are undergoing significant changes. Building on our past achievements, we are moving towards the path of a university of the future.

The foundation of this transformation is based on the essence of a university of the future, which sets four main goals: “Establish Flexible Systems and Cultivate a Positive and Progressive Organizational Culture,” “Promote Flipped Learning and Create a Student-Centered Learning Environment,” “Integrate Technology to Implement Goal-Oriented Innovative Teaching,” and “Attract External Resources to Cultivate Sustainable Cross-Domain Talents.”

To empower THU students to be bold innovators, adept in both technologies and humanities, equipped with diverse cross-domain knowledge, citizens of the world, and servant leaders; and to empower THU teachers to practice educational ideals, social impact, sustainable development, and professional development, university planning and long-term development aims to build an efficient platform for academic values that also respects diversity and empowers students and teachers to realize their dreams. Our goal is to create an open-minded, communicative, and efficient academic and administrative team. To further fulfill our social responsibility and implement social development, THU has outlined concrete strategies and actions to promote university affairs in our mid-to-long-term university development project. Therefore, we have formulated four dimensions: Administrative Innovation, Cross-Domain Paradigm, Sustainable Development, and International Integration. Based on these dimensions, THU is developing new educational thinking, setting new educational policies, and planning mid-to-long-term university development strategies.
