近年我国高等教育公平研究的回溯与展望

公平是高等教育的一个基本价值取向,随着我国高等教育大众化的进程,人们对高等教育公平的关注日益凸显。我国高等教育公平研究注重教育公平内涵解析、侧重相关互动关系研究、重视影响公平因素分析、突出促进公平策略探讨,但在研究取向上,受教育者关注多,利益群体关注少;在研究内容上,外在表象描述多,内在机理探讨少;在研究层面上,宏观研究关注多,微观研究涉及少;在研究方法上,定性理论研究多,定量实证研究少;在研究视角上,单一视角研究多,多种学科关照少。展望我国高等教育公平研究,需要加强基础理论建设,重视内在机理探讨,关注微观层面研究,整合质性量化研究,强化多维视角剖析。

The Study on Equality in China's Higher Education in the Past,Present and Future

Fairness in higher education is a basic value.With the massification process of China's higher education,the opportunity for higher education is more available than before,but the equality of that education is coming under increasing scrutiny.First,we should pay attention to its definition and the analysis of the factors that influence equality in education.This paper also wishes to explore strategies for promoting fairness in education.In past studies,it was found that the students were more concerned about educational equality than the interest groups.Previous studies have failed to make in depth analysis of these problems.What is needed is a comprehensive study.Researchers have been paying more attention to the big picture while ignoring the small details which are of great importance.In former research,we saw theories that lacked any empirical,quantative evidence,and that came from only one perspective,and not from a variety of disciplines.In future studies on equality in China's education,we should streagthen our basic theory,and lay stress on the internal mechanisms of higher education.Furthermore,we should pay more attention to the small details involved.What we need is an overall theory that can also the quantified.Finally,the analysis should come from several different perspectives and involve different disciplines.
