Thoughts on the Future of Global Higher Education Research

制度化的高等教育研究起源于20世纪60年代的美国,其中马丁·特罗和伯顿·克拉克作为开创者作出了独特的贡献。20世纪80年代以来,新自由主义的崛起、全球化的发展、技术的膨胀成为高等教育系统的突出特征,高等教育研究需要对这些发展及其效应进行深入分析。在新的时代背景下,高等教育系统自身面临新的挑战,这主要包括毕业生的结果与机会公平、大学生就业、高等教育的社会价值以及如何促进更加多元的声音和主题等方面。随着东亚高等教育体系的崛起,世界高等教育格局正在发生重大变迁,世界各国需要增进彼此的理解,通过他者思考以理解自身的高等教育体系和世界高等教育体系是必不可少的。

Institutionalized higher education research originated in the United States in the 1960s,with Martin Trow and Burton Clark making unique contributions as pioneers.Since the 1980s,the rise of neoliberalism,the development of globalization,and the expansion of technology have become prominent features of the higher education system.Higher education research needs to conduct in-depth analysis of these developments and their effects.In the new era,the higher education system itself faces new challenges,which mainly include the outcome and fair opportunities of graduates,employment of college students,the social value of higher education,and how to promote more diverse voices and topics.With the rise of the East Asian higher education system,the world's higher education landscape is undergoing major changes.Countries around the world need to enhance mutual understanding.It is essential to understand their own higher education system and the world's higher education system through thinking about others.
