高校科研人才评价理论·反思·重构——基于工具理性与对话理性的视角

Theory,Reflection and Reconstruction of the Evaluation of Scientific Research Talents in Universities——Based on the Perspective of Instrumental Rationality and Dialogue Rationality

高校科研人才评价关系到国家科研创新与科技发展。理论上,高校科研人才评价具有工具理性与对话理性的双重内涵,且对话理性作为高校科研人才评价的基础,应先于工具理性。现实中,高校科研人才评价存在工具理性僭越、对话理性式微的结构化矛盾。究其根源在于:时空抽离下的系统整合加剧工具理性膨胀,行为惯例导致被评价者话语意识缺失,基于“绩效”逻辑的评价结构巩固基于工具理性的评价者中心、外部评价为主、以评为中心的结构性原则。重构高校科研人才评价机制需建构基于对话、协商的评价理解范式,促进多元评价主体权利再分配,推动评价规范再生产。

The evaluation of scientific research talents in universities is related to the national scientific research innovation and technological development.In theory,the evaluation of scientific research talents in universities has dual connotations of instrumental rationality and dialogue rationality,and dialogue rationality,as the basis of the evaluation of scientific research talents in universities,should precede instrumental rationality.In reality,there are structural contradictions in the evaluation of scientific research talents in Chinese universities,such as tool rationality overstepping and dialogue rationality declining.The root cause lies in the fact that the system integration under the separation of time and space has intensified the expansion of instrumental rationality,behavioral conventions have led to the lack of discourse awareness of the evaluable,and the evaluation structure based on“performance”logic has consolidated the“evaluator center”based on instrumental rationality.The structural principle of“external evaluation as the main”and“as the center of evaluation”.To reconstruct the evaluation mechanism of scientific research talents in universities,it is necessary to construct an evaluation understanding paradigm based on dialogue and negotiation,promote the redistribution of the rights of multiple evaluation subjects,and promote the reproduction of evaluation norms.
