信任、合作与参与:教育改革的社会基础

Trust,Cooperation and Participation:The Social Basis of Educational Reform

教育改革不能脱离社会支持只在教育系统内进行孤立的自我改革。教育改革嵌套于社会改革,两者是相互包含、互为媒介、互动同构的有机整体。社会信任、社会合作、社会参与是影响教育改革的社会三要素,三者以社会合作为中心,共同为教育改革提供从心理到行动、从行动到制度化的社会基础。社会信任影响教育改革的成本与责任共担,信任程度缺失制约教育改革,造成教育改革制度设计的“公平悖论”与参与改革的多元主体之间的内耗;社会合作促进教育改革的技术、人力、经费等诸要素融合,并为教育改革提供自生自发的基层创新动力机制,跨界合作为解决教育“短板”与“盲区”提供了新的可能性;社会参与为教育问题解决从个体感受经由社会行动并上升为国家政策开辟了渠道,通过协商机制可以促进教育改革的制度创新。重建社会信任、鼓励社会合作、扩大社会参与可夯实教育改革的社会基础。

Educational reform cannot be merely carried out within the educational system by separating from social support.Embedded in social reform,educational reform does not separate from social reform in social reality;instead,they are an organic whole,where they contain each other,serve as a medium of each other,and interact with each other.Social trust,social cooperation,and social participation,which act as social elements affecting educational reform,center on social cooperation,and jointly provide a social basis for educational reform from psychology to action,and from action to systemization.Social trust affects the costs and shared responsibilities of educational reform;the lack of social trust restricts educational reform,resulting in internal frictions between the"paradox of fairness"in the design of the educational reform system and diversified participants in educational reform;social cooperation promotes the integration of such elements as technology and costs in educational reform,and provides educational reform with a spontaneous mechanism for grassroots innovation;cross-border cooperation offers new possibilities to address educational"shortcomings"and"blind spots";and social participation opens up channels for the settlement of educational problems from individual perceptions to national policies through social actions,and helps to promote the innovation of the educational system through consultation mechanisms.Rebuilding social trust,encouraging social cooperation and expanding social participation can help consolidate the social foundation of educational reform.
