高等教育多学科研究之反思——从学科性视角到方法论视角的转向

我国的高等教育研究具有鲜明的学科指向性,多学科研究方法引入高等教育研究也未改变其学科指向性。近30年的高等教育研究表明,高等教育学学科建设只是在某种程度上完成了学科的外部建制,内部建制还任重道远。其原因主要在于多学科研究的引入还停留在学科性视角层面,方法论视角在高等教育多学科研究中还未受到足够重视。欲达臻学科建设之目的,既要重视多学科研究的学科性视角,更要重视立足高等教育实践,从方法论视角开展高等教育多学科研究,最终实现从学科性视角到方法论视角的转向。

Reflection on multi-disciplinary research of higher education:from the disciplinary to the methodological viewpoint

In the Chinese context,higher educational research bears an obvious feature of disciplinary construction.Introducing multi-disciplinary research doesn't change the disciplinary goal of higher educational research.About thirty years' systematical research reveals that disciplinary construction completes its external institution to some degree but is far away from its internal institution.The main reason may lie in conducting multi-disciplinary research in the disciplinary viewpoint and the methodological viewpoint has not been paid adequate attention to.To establish a mature and independent discipline of higher education we should not only emphasize the disciplinary viewpoint,but more importantly we should attach importance to the practice and carry out multi-disciplinary research from the perspective of methodological viewpoint,and eventually to transfer from the disciplinary to the methodological viewpoint.
