“教育的后现代转向”视域下开放大学的发展进路

The Development Approach of Open University from the Perspective of “Postmodern Turn of Education”

后现代主义强调教育对社会承担的责任以及对生命的理性关怀,这也深刻地阐释了开放大学建设的逻辑基点和深层目标定位——后现代属性。开放大学是具有后现代价值理性的教育形式,它与终身教育体系协同发展,反映出教育后现代转向的态势。但在一定程度上脱离了当前社会的发展实际,形成了开放大学建设的现实性困境。开放大学如何从现有的体制形式渐进发展,过渡到未来的教育形态,弥合发展过程中落差,需要我们以后现代的教育观来加以审视,形成基于标准—平台—枢纽的生态治理架构,不断推动开放大学走向全新的具有后现代范式的远程教育。

Postmodernism emphasizes the responsibility of education to the society and the rational care for life, which also profoundly explains the logical basis and deep goal orientation of Open University construction-postmodern attribute. Open University is an educational form with postmodern value rationality. It develops in coordination with lifelong education system, reflecting the trend of postmodern education. However, to some extent, it is divorced from the reality of the current social development, forming the realistic dilemma of the construction of Open University. How to gradually develop the Open University from the existing system form to the future education form and bridge the gap in the development process needs to be examined by our postmodern education concept. It is necessary to form a three-in-one ecological governance framework based on standards-platform-hub, and constantly promote the Open University to a new distance education with postmodern paradigm.
