近代省域高等教育发展研究的历程回顾与特征分析

Retrospect and Characteristics of Provincial Higher Education Development Researches in Modern Times

近代省域高等教育发展研究经历了一个漫长的酝酿萌芽期,1980年代末才开始出现相关研究论文;2015年左右开始出现了较为系统深入的成果,研究基本成形;这之后进入一个快速发展时期,相关成果不断丰富起来。纵观其发展历程,这一研究大致呈现出三大特征或趋势:一是研究基点注重与传统高等教育的历史关联,从“西方中心”向自主探索回归;二是逐渐摆脱“教育中心”的影响,研究内容强调高等教育与社会发展互动;三是研究对象不断扩大,从近代高等教育发展“优势中心”或特色省域向发展迟缓的欠发达省域拓展。

The provincial higher education development research has undergone a long period of budding.It's not until in the end of 1980's that relevant papers has been found.It took shape around in 2015 with its first comparatively systematic research findings.Afterwards,it has quickened its speed and more and more relevant findings have come into being.Throughout its evolution,the research has taken on at least three characteristics or trends.Firstly,researchers try to get rid of the impact of west-centred paradigm and mark traditional Chinese higher education as its starting point.Secondly,researchers manage to eradicate the education centrism and emphasize the interaction between higher education and social requirements like politics,economy and culture,etc.Thirdly,The subjects of provincial higher education research in modern times have been expanded from the coastal provinces and the ones along the Yangtze River where modern higher education developed much better to the provinces where it evolved slowly and immaturely.
