走出高等教育研究“树大果疏”之困境——一种本土化对策

Out of the Higher Education Research's “Big Trees but Sparse Fruit” Trap:A Localization Strategy

“有树无果”或“树大果疏”是对我国高等教育研究表面繁荣实则匮乏的一种形容,原因之一是长期以来研究的西方化范式取向使然。本土化是走出困境的有效路径。本土化既是对单一西方范式的超越,也是中西融通与“互化”关系中生成的具有中国特色的研究范式。实现高等教育研究的本土化转变,关键要做好两项工作:一是在顶层设计上,坚持评价标准多元化、评价载体丰富化、评价周期长期化和评价元素中国化;二是在实践探索上,需要建立一支直面现实问题、多元开放和充满自信的研究队伍。

“Trees without fruit” or “big trees but sparse fruit” is a description of the apparent prosperity of China's higher education research despite the scarcity in the core;this issue is mainly due to the long-term research relying on Western paradigm orientation.Localization is an effective way out of this trap.Localization is not only a transcendence of the single Western paradigm,but also a research paradigm with Chinese characteristics generated from the accommodation between the East and the West and their “mutual transformation”.To realize the localization transformation of higher education research,the key is to do two things well:In terms of top-level design,we should adhere to the diversification of evaluation standards,enrichment of evaluation carriers,long-term of evaluation cycle and localization of evaluation elements in China;In practical exploration,higher education research needs to establish a diverse,open,and confident research team that directly deals with real-life problems.
