The development of students'subjcetivity is closely related with the rouse and evolvement of mankind's realization of subjectivity, and each rouse and evolvement of mankind's subjectivity is in reverse promote the development of our society as well as the progress of the human being. Therefore, the development of students'subjectivity is not only an educational problem, but also a critical and realistic problem related to the development of the contemporary society. With the further transformation of our society and the reform of the higher education, students'subjectivity is demanding more and more attention of us.The development of peoples'subjectivity is a natural process, restricted by all kinds of orders of nature, and a education process, restricted by all the orders of education. Education is a important mechanism for the birth and progress of subjectivity. But only in light with the level and characteristics of the development of individual's subjectivity and following the rule of it, can education promote the development of individual's subjectivity. In fact, the development of subjectivity is acting as a rhythm or a phase. The development of a person is like knitting a net with thousands of threads, which are not stretched to the same length. Like what British philosopher White said:"this rhythm contains some mixed cycles, while the whole process as just a small spire of the development is controlled by a more important cycle that sharing the same characteristics. Apart from that, this rhythm shows some common rules that are easy to be fixed and reasonable to most of students."Therefore, the education of each phase should be in match with the rhythm of its development。The education stage in primary school and middle school is the sprouting and initial development stage of people's subjectivity, and is inclined to teach and guide students. The college education stage is a turning period for the development of individual's subjectivity, when it is transiting from self-centering to self-control and freedom. Therefore, college education is mainly responsible for motivating students to learn, grow and develop by their own. And when they become adults, their subjectivity is gradually shaped and developing towards the direction of self-discipline and freedom. So the study and education in this period should characterized with self-guide and self-education.As a process and a stage of education, the college education, compared with the education of primary and middle school as well as further education for adults, is characterized with specialty and academy. In another word, it is imparting advanced knowledge and researching knowledge and is in match with the development of students'subjectivity. Then, to what level should this development get? This is not only the goal of college education, but the connotation of the development of students'subjectivity. From the perspective of college students'psychology development, students'development apparently has two sides. Physically, they are becoming mature, the feeling of adults begins to appear, and their self-awareness is coming to a new level. But psychologically, they are far from mature, and in the ending part of their socialization, the transition period from teenager to adults. Therefore, the connotation of the development of college students'subjectivity is their self-education and socialization.College education takes on the important historical mission in promoting the development of students'subjectivity, the historical experience of the development of students'subjectivity of developed countries as well as that of Chinese college students tell us,that college education and the development of college students'subjectivity aren't consistant in all ways,college education probably baffles the development of college students'subjectivity, this is manifested in two aspects. On the concept aspect, the development of students'subjectivity is affected by the ideology and the value system of college education, college ideas such as"autonomy of university"and"academic freedom"offer the favorable external conditions, but college ideas such as"instrumentalism"and"rationalistic"bring the implemental and technical inclination of college students'subjectivity.While on the system aspect, the development of students'subjectivity is affected by the relationship among the university, the government and the market, the ternate relatoinships should form good harmonious system, especially in China, the power of country and government holds the predominance, the college is short of corresponding autonomy and academic freedom,which is the institutional factor that baffles the development of college students'subjectivity.We must be aware of what factors have an influence on students'subjectivity. After researching the history of the development of students'subjectivity of developed countries as well as that of Chinese college students, we come to a conclusion that, generally speaking, the influence factors of the development of students'subjectivity is mainly manifested in two aspects. On the concept aspect, the development of students'subjectivity is affected by the ideology and the value system of students, while on the system aspect by the relationship among the university, the government and the market.Subjectivity belongs to the relationship category, and the development of students'subjectivity can not be considered without any relation, so it is very important to reconsider the development of students'subjectivity their daily lives. The first is the development of students'subjectivity in the process of study where they need to overcome the development of the procession style study and move to the development of surviving. The second is the one in about education activities. The education mechanism should transformed from imparting knowledge to an interactive activities, which means teachers are no longer authorities but an team member of a research. The third is the one in the dummy practice. We need to realize the significance of dummy practice, and at the same time avoid the plight it might bring to the development of students'subjectivity. What's more, college students should be guided to have a correct understanding of the network, and helped to establish their independent character in the network world. The forth is the development of students'subjectivity in the distribution of students'rights. The lack of their own rights is not beneficial for the development of students'subjectivity. According to the experience of the development of higher education in other countries, rights are inevitably demanded in the process of the development of students'subjectivity.In order to promote the development of students'subjectivity, and help them finish their self-education and socialization, college education must transform in some ways.The newly students-centered college education idea, the modern college system and the students'interests expression mechanism should be established and completed, in order to create a favorable environment of concept, system and mechanism for the development of students'subjectivity. In addition, new effective ways to promote the development of students'subjectivity must be explored. the curriculum reform is good for stimulation students'passion for study, which will bring more initiative, enthusiasm, and sell- discipline in their study. A good studying style will create a favorable study environment for the self-study of students and help them to study initiatively, diligently, happily and ambitiously. Then they will change from negative study to positive study. A variety of social activities are an important stage for the self development of college students.The development of college students'subjectivity is a complex system, the development of students'subjectivity need the support of college education environment; what is more important is the self- devotion, self-development, and self-education of college students, and the development of students'subjectivity must be upgraded in this interactive education environment.Therefore, the involvement of college students is the essential way to the development of students'subjectivity.
