高等教育的发展要适应经济社会发展的客观需要,同时也要遵循自身发展的基本规律。1998-2007年是我国高等教育快速发展的关键时期,教育规模不断扩大,内部结构不断调整,引发了高等教育深刻的变革。研究以1998-2007年我国高等教育结构变化及其与经济发展的相互关系为对象,分别选取反映高等教育结构的6个指标、反映经济发展水平和结构的8个指标,在对1998-2007年我国高等教育层次的发展变化的总体趋势进行深入分析的基础上,运用相关分析、主成分分析和回归分析等方法,探寻我国高等教育层次结构与社会经济发展的关系,明晰二者的影响机理。研究发现:在1998-2007年我国高等教育总体规模不断扩充的大趋势中,各层次高等教育表现出不同的扩充幅度和发展态势;经济发展对我国高等教育层次结构的发展演变具有显著影响作用;高等教育层次结构的发展变化基本适应经济发展的需要。
