Prof.Pan Maoyuan and the development of subdiscipline in Chinese higher education studies

Prof.Pan Maoyuan,founder of higher education studies in China,has paid more attention to the construction and development of higher education studies as well as its subdiscipline.He dialectically considers the relationship between the subject and research field,thus makes establishment of its subdiscipline feasible;actively advocates multi-subject research methods,then accelerates the development of its subdiscipline;enthusiastically encourages scholars to do theoretical research of the subdiscipline by prefacing for their works;accepts the postgraduates with different academic background,and as a result,he contributes a lot to train the major forces in the subdiscipline.What Prof.Pan has done can enlighten us on the future development of subdiscipline of higher education studies,namely,proper understanding of relationship between higher education studies and its subdiscipline,giving equal priority both to subject construction and problem exploring,i.e.knowledge growth and organization development should be equally stressed.
