高校学术资本:特征、功用及其积累

Academic Capital of Colleges and Universities:Features,Functions and Its Accumulation

高校学术资本是强调高校作为从事高深知识传播、创新、开发的一类组织部门,通过教学、科研、社会服务等活动,将高深知识以商品的形式与外界进行交换,从而实现价值增殖的资源总和。高校学术资本具有艰深性和复杂性,历史性,非均衡性,无形性和依附性等特征。高校学术资本不仅可以促使大学自治的实现,也可以促进大学职能的有效发挥。同时,衍生学术资本也可使高等教育陷入功利主义的泥沼。学术自由、道德规范、法律制度、知识创新等都是高校学术资本积累的重要保障。在高等教育急剧变革的今天,强调高校学术资本旨在增加组织学术资本,有效规避学术过度商业化,不断提升高校知识创新能力,并最终增强国家和地区的核心竞争力。

Academics are the original and fundamental capital among various kinds of capital in colleges and universities. The academic capital of colleges and universities is abstruse, complex, historical, unbalanced, invisible, and dependent. It is a resource aggregation by which colleges and universities, as institutions diffusing, innovating, and developing profound knowledge, exchange advanced knowledge in the form of commercial products with the outside world and add their value through the activities like teaching, scientific research, social service, etc. Academic capital of colleges and universities can bring university autonomy and a full use of university functions. However, the derivative academic capital may trap higher education into the mud of utilitarianism. Academic freedom, ethics, laws, and knowledge innovation can guarantee the accumulation of academic capital of colleges and universities. In the rapid transform era of higher education, emphasizing academic capital aims to increase the organizational academic capital, effectively avoid the excessive commercialization of academics, constantly promote the innovation ability of knowledge of colleges and universities, so as to ultimately promote the national and regional core competitiveness.
