中国特色高等教育学理论体系何以构建——基于学科隐喻的视角

How to Build the Theoretical System of Higher Education with Chinese Characteristics:From the Perspective of Disciplinary Metaphor

中国特色高等教育学理论体系何以构建?这是40余年来高等教育学人孜孜以求的重大命题。在诸多学科中,我们可以发现学科隐喻的独特魅力。这种"取象比类"的思维方式既是学科想象力的表征,也是迁移能力在学术活动中的特殊呈现。这类隐喻散见于高等教育研究的学术角落。我们应理解和把握学科隐喻的取向、限度、路线以及语境等问题,积极创造反映时代诉求、具有本土意义的学科隐喻,以实现高等教育学从经验体系向理论体系的"跃迁",为中国高等教育发展与变革提供理论武器。

How to build the theoretical system of higher education with Chinese characteristics,is a key proposition that higher education scholars have been diligently seeking for more than 40 years.In many disciplines,the unique charm of disciplinary metaphors are found.The kind of"acquisition of analogy"thinking mode is the representation of disciplinary imagination,as well as a special presentation of transfer ability in academic activities.Such metaphors are scattered in academic corners of higher education research.The orientation,limitation,route and context of disciplinary metaphors should be understood and grasped;and more disciplinary metaphors should be created with the times appeal and local significance,to realize the"critical leap"of higher education from the empirical world to the theoretical world which could ultimately provide a theoretical weapon for Chinese higher education development and reform.
