坚持“问题导向”，抑或执着“理论体系”？--再议高等教育学研究兼答“一逆三自”之责

Keeping on Question-oriented, or Focusing on Theory System Construction?——Reconsidered higher education research and responded to some questions

我们需要放弃"探寻、构建一个逻辑严密、范畴特殊、严谨严整、天衣无缝的高等教育学理论体系"的目标,需要放弃鄙薄实践研究和问题研究以为不足道,以为"品位低""武功差"的价值错位!高等教育学理论工作者应当深入实际,瞄着问题去,追着问题走,并努力"将相关从业者遇到的实际问题转换成研究问题",尽可能使问题研究设计科学、路径合理,并设法从中提炼新的概念、范畴和理论观点,丰富中国高等教育学理论体系。研究始于问题而又不止于问题,研究问题、解决问题,而后跃升到知识更新、理论创新的高度。还对我国高等教育研究"双轨并行"之说提出商榷,对童顺平提出的"逆势而行""自废武功""自束手脚"和"自我放逐"之责有所辩驳。

We need to abandon the following unrealistic aims, such as ＂searching and constructing a serious, special, absolute, ideal higher education theory system＂. We should also abandon the following attitudes, such as looking down on the researching on the practical problem, considering the above researchers as the low-level scholars. Higher education theory researchers should go deeply into the practical fields, should focus on real problem and look into the problem, and try hard to transform the real problem into the academic problem, and scientifically research the problem, then abstract the new concepts, propositions and theoretic ideas from the results. Through the above process, I think the system of theory of Chinese higher education can finally be fruitful. Research is coming from questions, but is not stop at the question. Researching on the questions, solving the questions, and then the theory system and knowledge system can be constructed. This paper also presents some discussions on the idea of ＂two ways merging into one way＂, also argues on the following blames from Tong Shunping, such as going against the stream, abandoning myself to vice, imposing restrictions on myself, exiling myself, etc.
