摘要:

新时期国家大力提倡学科交叉,加快“双一流”建设目标,着重打破传统学科间壁垒,探索跨院系、跨学科、跨专业交叉培养拔尖创新人才,加快学科协同交叉融合,这对提出并解决交叉学科难题具有重要意义。然而,真正的多学科、交叉学科及跨学科方法并不可能通过制度性的强制要求而孵化产生,且在现有实践中很难实现真正的交叉学科。那么,交叉学科研究是否必要?如何促进交叉学科发展,存在哪些机遇与挑战,在学科交叉发展中又存在哪些制度性发展陷阱?针对以上问题,华东师范大学国际与比较教育研究所张丹副教授与剑桥大学教育学院苏珊?罗伯森教授,以对话的方式共同探讨交叉学科研究发展的机遇与陷阱。

Abstract:

In the new era, China is vigorously advocating for interdisciplinary research, expediting the goal of establishing world-class universities with a specific focus on dismantling traditional disciplinary barriers. The emphasis is on exploring the cultivation of exceptional, innovative talents through cross-departmental, interdisciplinary, and cross-professional approaches, expediting the integration of disciplines and proposing solutions to interdisciplinary scientific challenges, which holds significant importance. However, genuine multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary methods cannot be engendered through institutional coercion, and achieving authentic interdisciplinary studies proves challenging in current practices. Consequently, questions arise: Is interdisciplinary research imperative? How can the development of interdisciplinary studies be advanced? What opportunities and challenges exist? And what institutional pitfalls hinder interdisciplinary development? Addressing these queries, Professor Zhang Dan from East China Normal University's Institute of International and Comparative Education and Professor Susan Robertson from the Department of Education at the University of Cambridge engage in a dialogue to collectively explore the opportunities and pitfalls in the development of interdisciplinary research.

Key words: interdisciplinary studies, knowledge production, discipline development
