摘要

工程教育往往是去语境化的，即使它充满了隐喻语言和社会文化规范和信仰。在工程教育中嵌入社会背景和社会技术内容的努力经常遇到阻力。我们通过详细描述团队努力改变工程教育中以技术为中心的课程和实践的过程，以及教师对它们的价值观和信念，通过引用隐喻，为如何改变主导知识体系的对话做出贡献。战争和革命、皈依/传福音和关怀的隐喻渗透在教师的话语中，因为他们解释并试图制定变革。我们展示了这些隐喻在促进和限制变革可能性方面的重要性。

Metaphors of Change: Navigating a Revolution in Engineering Education

ABSTRACT Engineering education is often decontextualized, even as it is suffused with metaphoric language and sociocultural norms and beliefs. Efforts to embed social context and sociotechnical content in engineering education are often met with resistance. We contribute to conversations about how to change dominant knowledge regimes by detailing the process by which a team grapples with efforts to change technically-focused curricula and practices in engineering education – and faculty members’ values and beliefs about them – by invoking metaphors. Metaphors of war and revolution, conversion/evangelism, and care permeate faculty discourse as they interpret and attempt to enact change. We show how these metaphors are significant in the ways that they both enable and constrain possibilities for change.

期刊介绍： Engineering Studies is an interdisciplinary, international journal devoted to the scholarly study of engineers and engineering. Its mission is threefold: 1. to advance critical analysis in historical, social, cultural, political, philosophical, rhetorical, and organizational studies of engineers and engineering; 2. to help build and serve diverse communities of researchers interested in engineering studies; 3. to link scholarly work in engineering studies with broader discussions and debates about engineering education, research, practice, policy, and representation. The editors of Engineering Studies are interested in papers that consider the following questions: • How does this paper enhance critical understanding of engineers or engineering? • What are the relationships among the technical and nontechnical dimensions of engineering practices, and how do these relationships change over time and from place to place?
