Abstract Social Practice (SP) is a type of educational activity with “Chinese characteristic,” and it is widespread and accessible in China’s higher education institutions. This paper explores the features of Social Practice participants and the impacts of these practices on college student learning outcomes with quantitative data collected through the “China College Student Survey” (CCSS) Project. In particular, the paper examines three types of social practices (Academic Social Practice, Professional Social Practice, and Service Social Practice) and their impacts on student self-reported gains in knowledge, skills, and values. The study finds that: a) more than 70% college students have social practice experience, and another 26% intend to participate before graduation; b) engaging in social practice is statistically significantly correlated with self-reported improvement in all kinds of learning outcomes; c) the impact varies by the type of practices and student level of engagement. These findings suggest that it is beneficial for students to engage in social practice during college. Higher education institutions should provide students with opportunities to participate in different types of social practices.

Higher Education Institution

For higher education institution, one of the most important tasks is to form its own competitive advantages, search, interest and retain consumers, because the main goal of HEIs is its long-term successful activity based on the quality of educational services. On the one hand, the transition to market relations has contributed to the emergence of nongovernmental (private) higher education institutions, increasing the number of participants and a variety of educational programs. On the other hand, the demand for higher education services has risen sharply. As a result, competition in the education market has intensified, which has prompted higher education institutions to increasingly use marketing to adapt their activities to market conditions. The complexity of positioning a higher education institution is determined by the diversity of consumers of educational services, including employers as representatives of the labor market. Therefore, the task of the educational organization is to find a unique position that, being significant for all or most consumers, would allow the higher education institution to differentiate itself from competitors. The article investigates the directions of positioning of higher education institutions. It is established that as a result of increasing competition in the market of educational services, there is a need for higher education institutions to increasingly use marketing to adapt their activities to market conditions. The essence of the definition of "positioning" from the point of view of different authors is considered, the concept of positioning through the prism of higher education institutions is singled out.

Different Levels

The problems of the quality of higher education are constantly discussed at different levels, but the cardinal changes have not occurred so far. Constantly changing standards dictated by the time and changes in the requirements of the labor market, only aggravate this position. However, the rapid obsolescence of knowledge, the need for timely and effective change in the educational process under the requirements of the market and the employer, the displacement of obsolete professions by new ones, weak basic preparation (in most cases) of school graduates require other approaches to the optimization of the educational process in universities. The article models the educational process of a university in order to identify the factors that determine its effectiveness. Ways to optimize (reengineering) this process are offered, increasing its adaptability to labor market requests and improving the efficiency of the learning process. The educational process is analyzed as a "business process", and substantiates the conclusion that in many respects the educational activity corresponds to the category of "Project". Such interpretation allows you to offer new more flexible tools for quality management of students, which meets the modern qualifications of employers and professional standards.
