高等教育的学科化研究与多学科研究

Discipline-institutionalized research and multidisciplinary research of higher education

中国高等教育研究的认识论中存在着“学科论”与“领域论”的学科属性之争,由此导致高等教育的学科化研究和高等教育的多学科研究两种研究方法。高等教育的学科化研究直指高等教育学学科建设,而高等教育的多学科研究则被高等教育理论和实践证明是行之有效的方法,是目前高等教育研究的主流范式。两种研究方法各有其效用,但缺陷和不足也十分明显。在“学科论”和“领域论”两种观点在未来一段时间内仍将存在的情况下,如何厘清高等教育的学科化研究与多学科研究之间的关系是高等教育研究不断创新的关键所在。

There is a controversy between discipline and domain in the epistemology of Chinese higher education research, forming two research methods which include discipline-institutionalized research and multidisciplinary research. Disclpline-institutionalized research of higher education promotes disciplinary construction. Multidisciplinary research is the prevailing paradigm of higher education research at present. These two research methods influence higher education research deeply, however limitation in existence. In order to promote the innovation of higher education research, it is important to strengthen the relation between discipline-institutionalized research and multidisciplinary research of higher education.
