我国硕士研究生教育“本科化”倾向及其应对措施

The Tendency of “Undergraduatizing” in China′s Postgraduate Education and Its Countermeasures

目前人们在对我国大学教育扩张速度过快的关切中,容易忽视硕士研究生扩张速度比本科生扩张速度更快的事实。在硕士研究生扩招的背景下,一些大学模糊了本科教育和硕士研究生教育的界限,使得硕士生教育呈现出"本科化"趋势。本文在对硕士研究生教育与本科生教育究竟有什么差别这一本源问题的追问和回答的基础上,提出了预防和缓解我国硕士生教育"本科化"倾向的应对措施。

Despite a grave concern over the fast rate of expansion of China＇s college education, the public tends to overlook the fact that postgraduate education has expanded much faster than undergraduate education. In the wake of increased postgraduate enrollment, some universities have a blurred boundary between undergraduate and postgraduate education and have a tendency of ＂undergraduatizing＂ in their postgraduate programs. On the basis of defining the difference between undergraduate and postgraduate education, this paper presents some countermeasures to prevent or mitigate the undergraduatizing tendency in postgraduate education.
