A Study of the Paradigm of the Philosophy of Higher Education

The paradigm of the philosophy of higher education is an important standard to measure the maturity of the subject of the philosophy of higher education, while there are extremely limited documents to study the paradigm of the philosophy of the higher education in the academic circles, therefore we need to give a definition to the paradigm of the philosophy of higher education and make classification research on it. The paradigm of philosophy of higher education can be divided into theoretical paradigm and methodological paradigm. As for the theory paradigm, it can be classified as orientation paradigm, doctrine paradigm and system paradigm, and the methodological paradigm can be classified as philosophy paradigm, general science paradigm and discipline paradigm, each concrete paradigm (sub-paradigm) being able to be divided into smaller paradigms. Paradigms of philosophy of higher education have such functions as research function, directional function, guide function, definite function and dialogue function.
