论高等教育学的学科地位和新定位——高等教育学作为一级学科之探讨

The Status and New Position of Pedagogies in Higher Education——Discussion on the First Level Discipline of Pedagogies in Higher Education

传统的"三独立"学科标准在现代科学背景下已过时。在以对象和规律为内容的新的"两要素"学科标准视域下,高等教育学的独立学科地位已确认无疑。高等教育学与教育学存在分离、并列和借鉴关系:分离关系体现为高等教育的科研活动、社会服务活动超越了教育学范畴;并列关系体现为高等教育学与教育学的理论基础大致相同,但又独具特点;借鉴关系体现为高等教育学能够应用教育学的一些知识。这种混合关系不仅意味着高等教育学不隶属于教育学,更为高等教育学作为一级学科在理论上提供了合理性证据。高等教育学新定位为一级学科建制,既有机遇,又有挑战,是一种可能的学科发展道路。

Traditional discipline standard is outdated. The new discipline standard includes the two elements of object and law. Under the new discipline standard, the status of pedagogy in higher education is ascertained. Pedagogy in higher education and pedagogy correlate with each other in three ways, i.e. separation, parallel, and reference. Separation means that the two are separated as research and social activities in higher education extend over the range of pedagogy pedagogy. Parallel relation reflects that both in higher education and pedagogy have the same theoretical basis. Reference relation indicates that higher pedagogy share the same portion of knowledge of pedagogy. All of the correlations reveal that pedagogy in higher education cannot be treated as part of higher education shall be placed among the first level disciplines. With both opportunities and challenges in the front, pedagogy in higher education can be possibly identified as a first discipline.
