三螺旋理论视域下高校老年大学改进路径

Solutions to the Problems of Seniors College at Universities from the Perspective of Triple Helix Theory

随着我国老年人的学习需求持续增长,高校应积极参与成立老年大学,结合三螺旋理论对高校老年大学的外部和内部办学现状进行调查,发现高校老年大学外部办学缺乏强有力的支持,主要体现在:政策不完善和保障机制缺失、办学经费筹集困难、社会力量参与不足;高校老年大学内部治理缺乏完善明确的标准,主要体现在:权力集中和制约机制的缺失、专任教师少、教学质量难以评估等问题。因此,需要加强顶层设计、吸引多方主体参与高校老年大学的建设、提升高校老年大学办学能力,从而促进我国高校老年大学的良性和可持续发展。

The growing demand for the elderly education calls for colleges and universities to actively participate in the establishment of seniors higher learning institutions to provide diversified,multi-level and all-round lifelong learning services for the aged groups.This paper reviewed the triple helix theory to investigate the external and internal status of colleges for the elderly.It found that such problems exist in seniors colleges as imperfect policies,insufficient guarantee mechanism,fund-raising difficulties,inadequate participation of social forces,etc.It therefore proposed that it is necessary to strengthen the top-level design,and mobilize multiple subjects to participate in the construction of colleges for the elderly in the running capacity to promote the benign and sustainable development of seniors universities.
