520 $a This dissertation maps out higher education as a field of study in the People's Republic of China during 1949-93, with a focus on the developments in the past fifteen years of the post-Mao era (1978-93).
520 $a Content analysis, case study, and interview are employed as the primary methods for data collection, interpretation and analysis. Content analysis and case study method are applied to the five-year data (1987-88 and 1990-92) from Higher Education (published by The Clipping Service, The People's University of China, Beijing). Five case studies of representative researches from each chosen category of methodology are undertaken. In addition, 25 interviews are conducted with selected scholars and policy-makers in higher education.
520 $a Despite of the fact that Chinese higher education research witnessed unprecedented developments in the 1980s, numerous issues remain to be addressed. The results from the empirical data indicate that: (1) Higher education as an area of scholarly inquiry has not obtained the status of a discipline, judging by the criteria set by Dressel & Mayhew (1974). Whether it will ever develop into a discipline is highly problematic due to the nature of higher education phenomena. (2) Theory (i.e. theory construction and underpinning) is another underdeveloped area. Only fragmented theories, or rather theoretical elements, are found. (3) Chinese higher education inquiry is dominated by non-empirical broad qualitative studies and lacks rigorous methodology. Theoretical and methodological paradigms at the field level are frequently absent, and/or are replaced by either the principles of the Marxist philosophy or government policy statements. There are overt influences of politics and the communist ideology on the inquiry. (4) Western, mainly American, influences are found to be present, and function at four levels: practice, theory, methodology, and values. However, Russian pedagogy, namely Kairov's theoretical framework, remains as the prevalent paradigm for higher pedagogy.
520 $a Based on the findings, measures are suggested to improve the inquiry, especially the introduction of the empirical methodology, and further studies are proposed accordingly.
