知识与中国大学信任危机——基于伯顿?克拉克《高等教育系统：学术组织的跨国研究》的思考

Reflection Based on Burton Clark’s “The Higher Education System: Academic Organization in Cross-National Perspective”

摘要: 从现实来看，中国的大学相较于过去，其人才培养、知识传授等功能被社会公众质疑。伯顿•克拉克认为高深知识是大学的核心，一切活动围绕知识而展开。大学信任危机的产生是多方原因导致的，包括教学功能弱化、社会观念转变和用人成本提高，其中知识在其中有关键影响。知识具有专门化、发展性等特点，其生产模式也在随技术变革发生转变。从知识这一视角出发，为恢复大学信任水平，需要发挥知识在通识教育、产教融合和创新创业教育等方面的重要作用，呼吁知识回归到大学的核心地带。

Abstract: From a practical point, compared with the past, the functions of Chinese universities such as personnel training and knowledge imparting have been questioned by the public. Burton Clark believes that advanced knowledge is the core of the university, and all activities revolve around knowledge. The crisis of trust in universities is caused by many reasons, including the weakening of teaching function, the change of social concept and the increase of employment cost, among which knowledge plays a key role. Knowledge has the characteristics of specialization and development, and its production mode is also changing with the technological change. From the perspective of knowledge, in order to restore the trust level of universities, knowledge should play an important role in general education, integration of industry and education and innovation and entrepreneur-ship education, and call for knowledge to return to the core area of universities.
