阿特巴赫教育依附理论视域下中国特色世界一流大学建设诹议

美国学者菲利普·G·阿特巴赫(Philip· G·Altbach)基于依附理论体系创建形成的教育依附理论,以“中心”与“边缘”作为逻辑基点,研究了当今世界高等教育格局中西方工业国家与第三世界国家之间“控制”和“被控制”关系及成因。在这一理论视域下审视和反思中国特色世界一流大学建设,不但要求我们在建设过程中警惕学术殖民主义的侵蚀、学术自我殖民倾向的泛滥以及民族文化认同感的丧失,更需要我们冲破依附发展的桎梏,努力实现从“文化趋附”到“文化自立”的转变、从“模式效仿”到“模式立新”的转变、从“学术依随”到“学术引领”的转变、从“西方标准”到“中国标准”的转变,由此推进中国高等教育由依附发展迈向自主发展、创新发展和引领发展,实现建设高等教育强国的战略目标。

Discussion on the Construction of World-class Universities with Chinese Characteristics from the Perspective of Altbach's Theory of Educational Attachment

American scholar Philip G.Altbach established the educational attachment theory based on the attachment theory system,taking “center” and “edge” as the logical starting point,this paper studies the “controlling” and “controlled” relationship and its causes between the western industrial countries and the third world countries in the current world higher education pattern.Examining and reflecting on the construction of world-class universities with Chinese characteristics from the perspective of this theory not only requires us to guard against the erosion of academic colonialism,the flooding of self-colonization tendency and the loss of national cultural identity,but also needs us to break through the shackles of dependent development.Striving to realize the transformation from “cultural attachment” to “cultural self-reliance”,from “model imitation” to “model innovation”,from “academic adherence” to “academic guidance”,and from “western standard” to “Chinese standard” will promote Chinas higher education to move from dependent development to independent development,innovative development and leading development,and achieve the strategic goal of building a powerful country in higher education.
