经济危机与高等教育变革——美国的历程与经验

Economic crisis and innovation of higher education——Process and experience from the United States

美国高等教育的现代化进程与美国经济生活的起伏紧密关联。美国历史上的三次经济危机既对高等教育造成了冲击,也为高等教育自身的变革提供了历史契机与动力。美国高等教育在危机时代通过教学、课程与管理等方面的变革,促进了自身的现代化进程,也成为美国摆脱危机的重要推动力量。

The process of modernization of higher education in the United States was closely related to the ups and downs of its economic life. Three economic crisis had not only impacted on higher education, but also provided higher education itself the historic opportu- nity for changes. Higher education in the United States at time of crisis promoted its own modernization process and still became the impetus out of the crisis by reform of teaching, curriculum and management.
