On Research Of The Democratization Of Higher Education In Regional Culture Field Of Vision

Since 1997, China has begun to expand to the recruitment of undergraduates, followed by a gradual yearly increase in the gross recruiting rate. However, does every person going to a university necessarily indicate the connotation of the democratization of higher education? Is it true that mankind and the accumulation of human culture will advance in equal pace so long as colleges and universities all has been changed into 'knowledge factories'? Not really. Making use of results from cultural studies, the author tries to outline the problems in the way of the democratization of China's higher education, and suggests some solutions from a cultural viewpoint.There are different views about the current development of China's higher education. Some are in favor of aggressive reforms; some stress conservative development while others are entirely opposed to any educational reforms. Though all their theories sound reasonable to some degree, they are practically proposed either from political or economic or educational perspectives. Admittedly, these theories may help to analyze the theoretical and practical problems in higher education democratization. But they can hardly help us understand the essential motives behind this democratization, preventing us from grasping the connotation of higher education democratization in a comprehensive and profound way.Therefore, the author of this paper points out that the objective of higher education democratization is to upgrade human's cultural connotation. Unfortunately, due to such negative influences of China's traditional culture as cultural factor, cultural value and thinking pattern, numerous phenomena that are not in harmony with the objective of higher education democratization has arisen in the process of this democratization, such as the disconnection of the connotation and objective or the reversed relationship between means and objective of higher education democratization. The rigidity and simplification of higher educationdamage cultural diversification and seriously frustrates the development of higher education democratization. Investigating the connotation of higher education democratization from the cross-cultural perspective can encourage the restoration of the connotation of higher education democratization, namely, to eliminate differences in man's cultural connotation; to restore the objectives of educating people; to cultivate all-sided man; to provide intellectual supports and needed knowledge for the strategy of rejuvenating China through science and technology and to rebuild cultural spirits on the campus. The above analysis will offer us many valuable insights into the higher education democratization and make us change our stereotyped conception about traditional culture, and reestablish the right higher educational system with unique Chinese characteristics and construct favorable university's surroundings. Only in this way can we take advantage of the cultural connotation of the whole races to develop China's higher education democratization and upgrade man's cultural connotation.Having defined the relationship between culture and the connotation of democratizing higher education, the regional culture, and the democratization of higher education, the paper gives accounts of the present conditions of the democratization of China' higher education, reflects on the connotation of higher education through results from cultural research, points out the cultural roots and their representations that exert influence upon the connotation of the democratization of China's education, and that it is harmful to neglect the improvement of the connotation of the democratization of higher education, namely, mankind's cultural spirits, and illustrates the important role that cultural reflections play in restoring the connotation of the democratization of higher education, paradoxically, historically, and cross-cultural. The author at length argues that reconsidering the connotation of the democratization of China's higher education has indicative reve...
