对中国大学教育近代化的几点反思

Rethinking on the education modernization of Chinese university

中国近代大学教育既直接采借西方近代大学教育模式,又深受中国传统书院教育荫泽,并在两者的互动关系中形成。但在继承传统和学习西方两个方面的成败得失,值得深思和反省。一方面,中国近代大学是在改造传统书院的基础上启动,却在近代化改造过程中摒弃了传统书院的许多优良传统;另一方面,中国近代大学教育是在采借西方大学模式的努力中形成,却在中国化过程中剪裁了西方大学的诸多合理成分。

Modern education of Chinese university borrows not only the educational mode of western modern universitty, but also the influence under the traditional academy. It is formed in the process of interaction of both. But it is necessary for us to rethink on learning from the traditional and the western. On one hand, modern university of China is based on the reforming the traditional academy, but abandon many excellent tradition. On the other hand, modern education of Chinese university is formed based on the borrowing the mode of western university, but rectify lots of reasonable elements in the process of localization.
