学科制度、学科身份与跨学科学术工作

Disciplinary Institutions,Disciplinary Identity and Interdisciplinary Academic Work

本研究使用了斯科特(Scott)的制度概念,从制度的规制性、规范性和文化-认知性三个维度分析了学科与跨学科制度对学者的学科观、跨学科观及学科身份的影响。研究质疑了学者有一个固定的学科身份的观点,表明当代对学科和跨学科身份的理解需要更多的流动隐喻模式。制度化的跨学科需要有适当的规则来处理研究方法和实践,建立跨学科相关的认知基础,还需要植根学术文化的价值基础。

Using Scott’s institutional theory, this study analyzes the influence of disciplinary and interdisciplinary institutions on scholars’ views of disciplines, inter-disciplines and disciplinary identity from the perspective of the three pillars-regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive. It challenges the viewpoint that a scholar has a firm and fixed disciplinary identity, suggesting that contemporary understanding of discipline and interdisciplinary identity requires more fluid metaphors and models. Institutionalized interdisciplinarity requires appropriate rules to deal with research methods and practices, a cognitive basis for interdisciplinarity, and a value basis rooted in academic culture.
