In the process of changing teaching-centered university gradually to the teaching and research university, as for the needs of survival and development, most universities aimed on the highest transformation goal of the research university.

We should look the teaching and research culture in universities and teachers’ research in an objective and dialectical view, make the idea of running a school and teacher evaluation system in universities return to a rational track of fundamental functions, and promote the development of university teaching and research culture.
