摘要

目的:鉴于新自由主义和全球资本主义所蕴含的个人主义和竞争的价值观,本文试图实证说明高等教育中学生的工具主义,并探讨这种工具主义在多大程度上可以被概念化为学生异化。方法:通过对香港一所以自由艺术为导向的社区学院学生进行民族志研究,以社区学院学生的经验为依据。这项研究始于2005年至2006年,于2009年继续进行,并于2010年至2011年跟进。总共招募和面试了85名学生;其中39人接受了两次采访。访谈与作者作为该社区学院讲师的观察和参与情况一起进行了分析。结果:在竞争激烈的环境中,社区大学生在学习中发挥了重要作用。他们的异化还表现在以下几个方面:对自己的职业规划很有帮助,在学习中更喜欢表面和战略性的学习而不是深度学习,在与同学或老师打交道时很有策略性甚至操纵性。结论:本研究对学生异化的不同方面进行了细致的分析。学生疏离感令人担忧,这不仅仅是因为学生没有学习成为受过教育的劳动力或公民所需的东西,还可以说是因为在整个学习过程中,学生获得的素质可能会成为残酷商业世界中有竞争力的员工,但不一定会成为有爱心或有批判性的公民。

Student Alienation in Higher Education Under Neoliberalism and Global Capitalism: A Case of Community College Students’ Instrumentalism in Hong Kong
Objective: In view of the values of individualism and competition embedded in neoliberalism and global capitalism, this paper seeks to illustrate empirically students’ instrumentalism in higher education, and to explore how far such instrumentalism could be conceptualized as student alienation. Method: The illustration relies on experiences of community college students from an ethnographic study of students studying in a liberal-arts oriented community college in Hong Kong. The study begun in 2005 to 2006, continued in 2009, and followed up in 2010 to 2011. Eighty-five students in total were recruited and interviewed; 39 of them were interviewed twice. The interviews were analyzed together with the author’s observations and participation as a lecturer of that community college. Results: Against an intensely competitive environment, community college students were rather instrumental in their studies. Their alienation was also manifested in the following aspects: being instrumental about their career planning, preferring surface and strategic learning to deep learning in their studies, and being strategic or even manipulative in dealing with their classmates or teachers. Conclusion: This study provides a nuanced analysis of different aspects of student alienation. Student alienation is worrying, not simply because students are not learning what is required for becoming the educated workforce or citizens, but arguably because throughout the course of their studies, students acquire qualities that may make competitive employees for the cruel business world but do not necessarily make caring or critical citizens.

期刊介绍: The Community College Review (CCR) has led the nation for over 35 years in the publication of scholarly, peer-reviewed research and commentary on community colleges. CCR welcomes manuscripts dealing with all aspects of community college administration, education, and policy, both within the American higher education system as well as within the higher education systems of other countries that have similar tertiary institutions. All submitted manuscripts undergo a blind review. When manuscripts are not accepted for publication, we offer suggestions for how they might be revised. The ultimate intent is to further discourse about community colleges, their students, and the educators and administrators who work within these institutions.
