“学术促进”还是“制度陷阱”——研究生学术生产的叙事研究

Academic Promotion or Institutional Trap:A narrative research on postgraduate academic production

学术生产是对学术发展的再生产,研究生学术培养制度落实过程中的扭曲现象使其内涵发生偏移。从学术生产的另一主体即研究生主体出发,通过访谈资料对话,以叙事的方式分析在学科场域中研究生学术生产过程相关的制度影响因素与潜在博弈。结果发现:学术共同体散失、学术生意人显现,相关制度执行力度较差,制度乏力、偏移以及整体效能下降,研究生学术生产存在潜在的制度陷阱。应优化课程设置,促进学术单位体向学术共同体转变,完善导师制度考核与研究生质量评估机制,构建民主的学术制度环境,让研究生学术生产真正回归本真,成为学术促进的有效助推力。

Academic production is the reproduction of academic development, yet the distortion in implementing the postgraduate academic education system has changed its connotation.Starting from another part of academic production, that is, the postgraduates, this paper analyzes in a narrative manner the institutional influencing factors and potential games related to the postgraduates’ academic production process in the discipline field by means of interview and data exchanges.The analysis finds that academic communities are disappearing and more academic businessmen appear, the implementation of relevant systems becomes weak, the effect of the system is also weakening, the system is misused and the overall efficiency is declining.There are in fact potential institutional traps in academic production by postgraduates.Therefore, the authors propose an optimization of curriculum provision, promotion of the transformation of individual academic units into academic communities, improvement of the systems for supervisors’ performance assessment and postgraduate quality evaluation, and construction of democratic academic system environment.In this way, the authors believe, the academic production by postgraduates can really return to its true nature and become impetus effective for academic promotion.
