基础学科拔尖计划项目本科生学业历程的自我塑造研究

Research on Students’Self-formation through Top-Notch Undergraduate Talents Programs of Basic Subjects in Chinese Universities

研究借助高等教育是学生自我塑造的过程这一思想,质性探索了某研究型大学基础学科拔尖计划项目中14位本科生的学业成长经历。研究发现:受访者在拔尖创新人才培养模式下的自我塑造是一个进阶性过程,包括“学业转型阵痛期”“自我和学业明晰期”以及“学业动机再造期”,表现为一段持续发展的能动性行动流。文章展现了兼具限制性和使动性的拔尖创新人才培养制度与个人主观能动性之间的辩证互动,对当前中国研究型大学拔尖创新人才培养具有理论和实践启示。

Drawing on the theory of higher education as self-formation,this study qualitatively explores the undergraduate education experience of 14 students through the top-notch talents cultivation program in U University.It shows that the self-formation of our participants includes three stages:the painful stage of academic transition;the stage of clearly recognizing self and subject;and the stage of recreating academic motivation.The self-formation is a constant development,consisting of continuous agentic actions.This study reveals the dialectic interactions between personal agency and top-notch talents cultivation institutions which are both constraining and enabling.This article calls for reflections on the top-notch talents cultivation in Chinese research universities.
