应用型人才教育观探疑

In Query of the Concept of Applied Talents Education

对于知识而言,有应用型知识的说法。然而,在我国高等教育界目前流行的应用型人才的概念,以及在其基础上派生出来的应用型人才教育观,却很难从教育科学理论的角度找到相应的学术支撑。我国对基础理论研究长期的忽略,是导致我国科技、经济长期落后于世界发达国家的重要原因之一。而应用型人才培养教育观所提倡的根据市场需求培养人才的办学策略,带有明显的功利主义色彩,将从后备人才的角度为我国基础理论研究带来进一步的负面影响,进而将使得我国的大学离真正的高等教育精神越来越远。

AS for the classification of knowledge types, the applied knowledge does exist. However, it is hard to find an academic support to the concept of applied talent（s）, which is currently widely distributed in Chinese higher education. The ignorance of fundamental research is one of the most important reasons why Chinese science, technology, and economy could not keep pace with the developed countries in the world for a long time. The educational strategy that training personnel in accordance with the requirements of the market brings utilitarianism to the universities and has further negative impact on the fundamental research of our country. It will lead our universities far away from the real spirits of higher education.
