大学通识教育价值取向体现了各个时期通识教育的理念目标,对教育乃至人的发展产生巨大作用,其主要包括理性主义价值取向、进步实用主义取向和折衷主义价值取向。从历史的角度审视大学通识教育价值取向的演进,可以看出通识教育在理性主义和实用主义之间呈现钟摆式的不断轮回现象,至今绽放出中庸之道的新人文主义色彩,并在不同的历史时期结成一定的主次关系。在后人文主义时代背景下,大学通识教育在继承现有哲学思想的基础上,将更加强调逻辑思维和跨学科整合能力、多维科学实践观、批判能力等。

The value orientations of general education in universities reflect conceptual objectives of general education in different periods, which play a very important role in education and people＇s development. Value orientations of general education mainly include rationalism, pragmatism, and eclecticism. Examining the evolution of value orientations of general education from historical perspective, it is found that general education presents pendulum continuous cycle pattern between rationalism and pragmatism, bursting out of new humanism color of the golden mean, and forming certain primary and secondary relationships in different historical periods. Within the post-humanism background, general education in universities would put greater emphasis on logical thinking ability, interdisciplinary integration capabilities, multidimensional concept of scientific practice and critical thinking ability by inheriting existing philosophy basis.
