国际化视域下全球高等教育体系的再诠释——兼论疫情对知识共享的影响

A Reinterpretation of the Global Higher Education System from an Internationalization Perspective——The Impact of the Epidemic on Knowledge Sharing

经历漫长的发展与国际化进程,全球高等教育体系逐渐在宏观、中观、微观等各层级(维度)上呈现出具有某种相似性的“差序”权力结构或秩序。存在于全球、国家(地区),以及基层学术共同体层面的“中心-边缘”格局在一定程度上阻碍了知识的流动与共享。在当前形势下,以下两者之间的矛盾或已上升为高等教育研究者与实践者亟需应对的主要矛盾之一,即全球疫情对各层级既有“差序”结构的固化,以及疫情期间各层级对知识共享需求的增强。知识共享“供给”与“需求”的消长使得高等教育体系难以在全球危机中充分发挥其积极作用。因此,各层级利益相关主体应以“共同体意识”代替“中心-边缘”意识,在充满不确定性的历史时期持续发挥积极的作用,例如通过弥合数字鸿沟缓和各层级“中心”与“边缘”间的知识鸿沟。

After a long process of development and internationalization,the global higher education system has gradually shown a“differential”power structure/order at various levels/dimensions such as macro,meso,and micro.The“center-periphery”feature that exists at the global,national/regional,and local academic community levels,to some extent,hinders the flow and sharing of knowledge.Under the current situation,the contradiction between the following two phenomena may have become one of the major issues that higher education researchers and practitioners need to deal with:1)the global epidemic has consolidated the existing differential order/structure at different levels/dimensions,and 2)the demand for knowledge sharing at all levels/dimensions has increased during the epidemic.The decreasing“supply”and the increasing“demand”of knowledge sharing make it difficult for the higher education system to fully play its positive roles in the global crisis.Therefore,it seems necessary for stakeholders at all levels to have a perspective of“community with a shared future”instead of a“center-periphery”perspective and continue to play active roles in a historical period full of uncertainties.For example,it seems feasible to eliminate the knowledge gap between the“center”and the“periphery”at all levels by bridging the digital divide.
