高等教育理论再理论化:内涵、价值与策略

Retheorization of Higher Education Theory:Connotation,Values and Strategies

基于“理论”在高等教育研究中的内涵,高等教育理论是很多的,并且这些理论基本是零散而孤立的,因此,要建构体系化的高等教育学,有必要对高等教育理论进行再理论化。高等教育理论再理论化是立足层次论之上,对高等教育理论的结构化和体系化,并最终建构高等教育学理论体系的过程。高等教育理论再理论化的价值在于打破了高等教育学理论体系建构的“暗箱”、坚持了高等教育研究的中国特色、促进了高等教育学的与时俱进和推动了高等教育学建构付诸行动。为此,应采取跨层次整合模式、建立层次理论之间的耦合关系、运用逾层研究方法和搭建网状结构的理论体系框架等举措,具体推进高等教育理论再理论化。

Based on the connotation of “theory” in higher education research,there are many higher education theories,most of which are fragmented and unsystematic.Therefore,it is necessary to retheorize the theory of higher educationin order to construct a systematic higher education science.If we regard the process of higher education research that meets the theoretical standards of higher education as the theorization of higher education research,then the retheorization of higher education theory is the process of systematizing and structuring higher education theory,and finally constructing the theoretical system of higher education.The retheorization of higher education theory not only opens up a new field of higher education research,but also promotes the concrete implementation of the construction of higher education,so that higher education can keep pace with the times,thus highlighting the Chinese characteristics of higher education research.The retheorization of higher education theory aims at the construction and practice of higher education,which can be promoted from the aspects of concept,proposition,demonstration method and system framework.
