通往学术之路的"打杂":硕士生参与学术辅助事务的体验研究
The"Miscellaneous Tasks"on the Road to Academia:A Study on Master's Students'Experience in Academic Support Activities
摘要
Abstract
In addition to the academic participation activities related to institutional regulations and training goals,the academic community often overlooks another aspect of a master's student's academic journey—namely,the academic support tasks they are required to undertake in their daily academic work,such as project reimbursements,conference organization,and other similar duties.These tasks are often colloquially referred to as"doing the chores".Based on in-depth interviews with 9 master's students and 5 university professors,as well as the researcher's own participatory observations,it was found that during the process of performing"chores",master's students,as"assistants",experience a complex emotional mix of frustration and gratitude.However,due to the contradiction between the personal emotions and the organizational rationality of the academic community,students can only re-acknowledge the unbreakable power structures within the academic community by hiding and managing their emotions while doing these tasks.This emotional dispersion and relational conflict reflect a misalignment in the understanding of"chores"and academia between students and teachers.When supervisors emphasize the social nature of academic knowledge,students uphold the moral agency of academia.More specifically,while supervisors see the necessity of a comprehensive,panoramic understanding of academia,students'resistance stems from doubts about the"legitimacy"within the marginality they occupy.However,doing the"chores"ultimately does not become a key factor in the academic development of master's students.The active pursuit of academic capital by students,the allocation of resources by professors,and the mutual emotional investment between teachers and students form a more critical support structure within the academic practice community.Furthermore,understanding the position and significance of these"chores"in the development of master's students becomes a window through which to examine the entire academic structure.The academic community needs to pay attention to the nested relationship between students'academic experience and their experience of doing"chores",as well as the changes in the underlying academic power structures,in order to build a more authentic and transparent institutional support system.关键词
