现代大学·象牙塔·社会责任——基于德里克·博克教育著作的解读

Abstract

进入21世纪后,大学、“象牙塔“和社会之间的关系愈加复杂。作为哈佛校长和享誉世界的高等教育专家德里克.博克对现代大学有着极其深刻的认识。博克眼中的现代大学是巨型和多元的;大学既要保持象牙塔内的学风,也要满足社会需求;但最重要的是要寻找到最合理的方式服务社会,同时养育大学自身。新时代的社会责任内容在变化,结合最新世界高等教育大会公报中的观点来看,博克的思想仍显示着勃勃生机,具有参考价值。

Since the beginning of the 21st century,the university-society relationship has turned increasingly complicated.As the president of Harvard University and the world-renowned higher education expert,Derek Bok has a profound understanding of the modern universities.In his eyes,modern universities are a giant and multiple organization,which should not only keep its academic feature but also meet the social demands,and what matters the most for a university is to find the fittest way to serve the society and nurture itself at once.In the new era,Bok's concept of higher education is still instructive,though the content of social reliability is in change.
