Health Assessment of Higher Education System Based on 3D Baseline Cube Model

Abstract

Educational ecology is a branch of pedagogy that uses ecosystem theory to study the law between education and the external ecological environment. In this paper, We use ecology research methods to evaluate the health and sustainability of the education system. Based on Educational stability, carrying capacity and teaching quality, we build the three-dimensional baseline cube model (called the Tri-E model) for comprehensive measurement. In terms of educational stability, we build educational pyramids according to different academic qualifications and calculate Gini coefficient according to geographical distribution and the Educational Stability Index (ESI) is summarized. For the carrying capacity and quality of education, the weight of each factor is determined by the AHP. The Education Carrying Capacity Index (ECCI) and Education Quality Index (EQI) are calculated according to the relevant indicators of the countries studied. These indicators will determine a vector in the 3D Baseline cube to obtain a measure of the health status of higher education Tri-E Index (TEI). We analyzed some representative countries (UK, India, and China) with TEI of 0.741, 0.521, and 0.665, respectively. Referencing China’s education reform, we put forward the current problems facing the Indian education system and how to reform it. After a quantitative analysis of the actual resistance index, the conclusion is that it is difficult for the reform to be completely successful.
