高等教育多学科研究:涵义、特点及限度

学科的发展绝对不是该学科现有系统内部的单一生长,它需要突破原有的知识边界与学科壁垒,借鉴自然科学与社会科学的多学科研究方法,排除学科发展的自我束缚,不断催生学科新的增长点。迈向开放时代的高等教育更需要多学科研究方法的进入、交融与转换。多学科研究方法并非高等教育研究的"独特",它主要体现为一种研究方式。中国语境下的问题意识仍是学科研究的源泉,超越学科情结的高等教育研究能更清晰地反思与改良理论体系,进而在多学科、跨学科、超学科背景与视野下彰显高等教育研究的价值与方向,推动高等教育的原创研究和深度研究。

The development of a discipline is not absolutely growing in the way only within the existing system.It requires the breakthrough of the original knowledge boundaries and disciplinary barriers by means of the multidisciplinary research method from natural and social sciences.In order to promote the new development of the discipline,self-restricts should be eliminated from the disciplinary development.The multidisciplinary research method for higher education in the open epoch is not actually regarded as 'unique' but as an attitude,should get access to higher education and combine with other methods.Problem awareness is still the source of disciplinary research in the Chinese context.The higher education research which transcends the disciplinary complex can clearly introspect and reform the theory system to manifest the value and direction of higher education research,and to propel the original and depth research in the view of multidiscipline,cross-discipline and beyond-discipline.
