作为方法的“转型”:高等教育学知识体系建设的一种尝试

Transformation as a Method:An Attempt to Build the Knowledge System in Higher Education

当前,高等教育学如何加快构建以自主知识为内核的当代中国特色学科体系变得日益重要和迫切。从本质上看,高等教育学的发展过程本身是一个在“转型”中不断探索前进的过程,这使得“转型”成为一个新的视角切入点、一种蕴含方法论意义的“方法”。以“转型”为方法助力构建中国高等教育学知识体系,要阐释“转型”作为高等教育学方法的可能性,刻画高等教育学从表象到概念、从分散到整合以及从经验到科学的“转型”实践,进而分析高等教育学知识体系建设中存在的概念辨识、取向抉择、方法选用等困境。基于此,应在转型发展的整体视角中,通过创设学科概念、超越对立取向以及回归科学本质的策略来突破困境,形成当代高等教育学自主知识体系。

At present,it is increasingly important and urgent for higher education to accelerate the construction of a contemporary Chinese characteristic disciplinary system with autonomous knowledge as its core.Essentially,the development process of higher education is also a continuous exploration and progress in the process of"transformation",which makes"transformation"a new perspective and a method with methodological significance.To construct the knowledge system of Chinese higher education by using transformation as a method,we should explain the possibility of transformation,portray the practice of transformation of higher education from appearance to concept,from fragmentation to integration,and from experience to science.In addition,we find out the dilemmas of concept identification,orientation choice and method selection in the construction of the knowledge system of higher education.Based on this,we should break through the dilemma and form an original and autonomous knowledge system of contemporary higher education through the strategies of creating disciplinary concepts,transcending opposing orientations and returning to the essence of science in the overall perspective of transformation development.
