        文章简要介绍了中科院学部60年的历史,将其划分为４个时期,继而阐述了学部作为中科院最高决策机构和学部转变为最高咨询机构的前因后果。最后就学部的发展改革提出了两点浅见,即一方面学部要进一步完善组织架构,提升学术职能,另一方面要充分发挥学部在我国科学共同体建设中的作用。

        The Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASAD) founded in 1955, is currently China's highest advisory body in science and technology. From 1955 to 1966, CASAD exercised academic leadership over the whole country as well as the CAS. It was abolished during the Cultural Revolution. In 1979, CASAD resumed, and in the the fourth CAS general assembly held in May 1981 gave the top decision-making power of CAS to its general Assembly or the Presidium when the Assembly was not in session. However, the system was effective less than three years. The function of CASAD was changed dramatically at the fifth CAS general assembly held in January 1984. It was made clear that the general assembly was the highest national consultative organization in science and technology, and that CASAD Membership is the highest honorary academic title in China. In October 1993, the State Council decided to change the title of CASAD Member to CAS Member. The author reveals the antecedents and consequences of these changes. Then he also put forward two suggestions on the development and reform of CASAD, first, to improve its organizational structure and develop its academic function; second, to enhance the role of CASAD in the construction of the scientific community in China.
