我国教育博士专业学位研究生招生工作的思考

Discussion and Analysis on Ed. D Admission

从2010开始，北京大学等15所研究生培养单位将开始教育博士专业学位(Ed.D.)试点招生工作。对于我国来说，这是一个新型的博士学位。在研究了15个试点高校的招生简章、相关招生政策、文件及结合招生工作经验的基础上，提出我国教育博士专业学位招生工作中突出的几个问题：招生指针调控过紧、招生领域如何逐渐开放以及与教育硕士招生领域的衔接、招生对象和报考条件不明确、入学外语水平考试如何把握、招生宣传的重点、招生与培养目标的一致性。认为教育博士专业学位的招生需要结合培养目标、社会需求和学校发展来进行。

Starting from2010， 15 higher institutions including Peking University began the Ed. D admission. Ed. D is a brand-new doctoral degree in China. Based on the analysis on admission policy， paperwork， recruitment experience， this article raises several problems in the Ed. D admission. For instance， the over-limit on enrollment quota， the lack of articulation between MD and Ed. D， the ambivalence on potential student pool， application requirements， and English proficiency， the lack of coherence between admission and training objective， and etc. The article argues that admission needs to adjust to the training objective， society demand， and program development.
