大众化时代高等教育本体价值与实现路径

Ontological Value of Higher Education and Ways to Actualize It in The Era of Massification

高等教育价值是具体的历史性概念,其内涵、性质和实现形式不可避免地受到教育运行环境和相关条件影响和制约。中国高等教育已经进入大众化时代,具有和精英教育迥然不同的本体和主导价值。在大众化时代高等教育的个体价值转换和升迁为一种主导性因素、起主要支配作用,同时高等教育个体价值具有内在性、先天性和基础性的特征,这些特点使得个体价值成为本体价值。大众化时代初期要在理论上确认和实践上实现这一本体价值呼吁着教育理论研究范式与思维方式革新。深入探索学生教育产权理论,反思和驱逐官本位特征,改善课程与教学体系构成大众化时代实现高等教育本体价值的基本路径。

The value of higher education(HE) is a historical concept,for its connotation,characteristics and actualization are inevitably influenced by educational environment and other relevant conditions in different historical periods.As China's HE entered the Era of Massification,ontological value of HE also takes on a connotation quite different from that of Elite Education Era.Human values,as the innate,presupposed and underlying feature of HE,is of overriding importance and deemed as the ontological value of HE in the Era of Massification.To reconceptualize this ontological value in theory and actualize it in reality,currently there is a need for innovations in educational research paradigms as well as researchers' mode of thinking.It is also necessary to fully recognize students' right to education,cut down on bureaucracy and improve our teaching,so as to actualize the ontological value of HE.
