论高等教育社会学研究方法的取向及其本土化建构

一门学科发展的重要意义在于其研究成果与其他相关学科的研究成果往往具有较强的关联性和互补性。对于高等教育社会学而言 ,这一旨趣能否有效实现 ,首先取决于研究者在研究视角与方法的选择方面所体现出来的社会学素养及其自觉性。高等教育社会学的研究方法既要遵行社会学研究的一般策略和原则 ,又要从高等教育的实在特性出发 ,将其研究的目的、策略和方法真正纳入到社会学的研究视域之中 ,从而实现研究方法体系同研究主体、客体和具体环境的高度协同 ,这是实施高等教育社会学本土化建构的基础。

On the Orientation of Sociological Research in Higher Education and Its Nativized Construction

The significance of the development of a discipline lies in the fact that there often exists connection and mutual supplementation between the research accomplishments of the discipline and that of other related disciplines. For the course of sociology in higher education, the attainment of this objective depends on the researchist's attainments in sociology and his consciousness in the selection of the angle and methods of research. The researching methods of sociology in higher education should start from the actual characteristics of higher education, and should on the one hand follow the general strategy and principles of sociological research, and on the other put the object, strategy, and methods of his research into the field of sociological resarch, so as to realize a high coordination between the system of researching method on the one hand, and the subject of research and the objective and specific environment on the other. This is the foundation for carrying out the nativized construction of sociology in higher education.
