摘要

[目的/意义] 10年后再次重启美国顶尖iSchool信息科学专业本科课程调查,通过探讨10年间海外顶尖本科学位培养项目的演变及其走向,为我国信息管理院系相关本科专业建设与教育改革提供有益经验与借鉴。[方法/过程] 选取U.S.News美国最佳图书馆与信息科学研究生院排名中位列前10名的顶尖iSchool,调查所开设的信息科学本科专业,通过iSchool官方网站全面收集学位项目及其课程信息,并从整体项目设计与培养目标变化、专业核心/选修课程变化、课程设置分类与动向等不同维度展开考察和分析。[结果/结论] 相较于2009年,2019年美国顶尖iSchool的本科项目在项目设计、培养目标制定、专业核心(必修)课设置、专业选修课设置等方面都发生了新的变化。通过对所开设课程进行分类编码,美国顶尖iSchool的课程可分为13个类型,但课程在不同类别上的分布较为分散,呈现出明显的多路径、多元化特色,进而逐一考察与梳理了各个类别课程设置的新近动向。研究还从5个方面论述了对我国信息管理院系本科课程设计的启示。

Abstract

[Purpose/significance] After 10 years, this paper re-investigated bachelor of science in information science (BSIS) programs in U.S. top iSchools, and explored the evolution and trend of undergraduate courses in the past 10 years, so as to provide useful experience and reference for educational reform of similar undergraduate majors in information management schools and departments in China.[Method/process] Select BSIS programs offered by top 10 iSchools on U.S. News best graduate schools rankings of library and information studies. Collect the information of bachelor degree programs and corresponding courses through iSchool official websites. Investigate and analyze the changes of overall project design, training objectives, core courses and elective courses, classified the courses and probed into the moving directions of each course classification.[Result/conclusion] Compared with that of 2009, the BSIS programs in U.S. top iSchools had undergone new changes in project development, training objectives setting, core (required)/elective courses design and so on in 2019. By classifying and coding the undergraduate courses of the programs, the courses could be divided into 13 categories, but the distribution of courses in different categories is relatively scattered, showing obvious multi-path and diversified educational characteristics in U.S. top iSchools. Furthermore, this study examined and introduced the recent trends of each course category. The study also discussed five aspects of enlightenment to the undergraduate curricular reform of information management schools and departments in China.
