1~眫Thiz ~ DOCTORAL D!SSE7~TA1 ION ABSTRACT The main questions this dissertation wants to settle include five aspects: (1) In the process of the educational development, what抯 the position of the educational institutions? What effects on the educational practice will result from the attention paid to the existing educational institutions? (2) What do the educational institutions depend on, the individual rational calculation based on one抯 own interest or some objective 搒ocial ?power independent of one抯 will? What will happen when attributing the educational institutions to a vested framework independent of one抯 educational behavior? (3) Does the educational interest background need to criticize and eliminate, or should we make public and legitimate people抯 pursuit of the educational interest under the educational institutions? Is it feasible to eliminate the background of the educational interest? (4) What抯 the nature of the transformation in the existing educational institutions? What抯 the inner impetus that brings about the institutional transformation? Which aspects are the directions of the transformation?

The first chapter (揈conomic Analysis: the Analytic Framework of the New Institutional Pedagogy?, the methodology of the paper, emphasizes the Old Institutional Pedagogy must be replaced by the New Institutional Pedagogy because of its radicalness in its analytic framework.
