Abstract

Given the increasing interest in academic citizenship in higher education, this study examines the civic purposes of higher education students in two European countries, namely the Netherlands and Finland, and relations between students’ worldviews and their civic purposes. The majority of students was categorized as so-called disengaged or dreamers, respectively either not civically interested or active or then visioning but not actualizing civic interests. Students with a purposeful profile referring to high civic interest, action, and identity, were most prevalent among Dutch students with a humanistic worldview and Finnish students reporting religions other than Christianity. Students from both countries not identifying with any organized worldviews were more likely to be allocated to the disengaged profile. Possible explanations for differences in student profiles are discussed.
高等教育学生的公民目的——对四所荷兰和芬兰院校的研究
鉴于高等教育对学术公民的兴趣日益浓厚,本研究考察了两个欧洲国家,即荷兰和芬兰,高等教育学生的公民目的,以及学生世界观与公民目的之间的关系。大多数学生被归类为所谓的“不参与”或“梦想家”,分别是对公民利益不感兴趣或不积极,或者有愿景但没有实现公民利益。在具有人文主义世界观的荷兰学生和芬兰学生中,具有高度公民兴趣、行动和身份认同的有目的的学生最为普遍。这两个国家的学生都不认同任何有组织的世界观,他们更有可能被分配到不参与的类别。讨论了学生概况差异的可能解释。
