法国大学校传统以精英教育为己任，以为社会各领域培养领军人才为目标。中国人留学法国已有百年历史，而法国大学校成规模地接纳中国留学生则仅仅是新世纪初才开始的现象。本研究致力于探究中国留学生这个特殊的群体在大学校精英教育模式中接受培养的全过程,试图将宏观政策分析与留学生个体的主观经验结合起来,在全面总结法国大学校精英教育的制度背景，梳理中国精英留法的历史和政策背景的基础上，将研究的对象聚焦在法国大学校就读的中国留学生身上,从中国留学生这个独特的视野完善、加深对法国大学校精英培养制度的了解与认识，并从中挖掘其对中国这样一个具有自身民族文化和教育传统的国家的借鉴意义。 本研究以历史学与社会学为基本学科方法，兼容文献研究与个案访谈，贯穿教育学研究的问题意识，以教育史梳理为线索和框架，在大量个案访谈基础上努力尝试理论提升。本研究尝试把质的研究方法引入到对留学生学习、生活经验的研究中，通过倾听鲜活的现场声音来还原当代中国留法精英的流动过程，再现他们丰富生动的学习和生活经历，通过实地调查深入了解大学校教育模式的细节和实质，探讨留学生对自己留学经历的意义解释，将留学生的主观体会与客观现实交互验证。由于一种教育模式不仅仅是教育和教学的问题，而与当地的政治经济社会文化背景有着丝丝缕缕的关联，故本文也高度重视留学生的社会文化经验与感受。同时将他们的学习实践与主观生活体验放在宏观政策社会背景和制度背景中加以理解、诠释与分析。在十分具体、真实的情景中，揭示出这样一种留学模式在国际人才流动背景下的示范意义，并在其中体会到对全球化时代留学政策的启示。 本研究的结论为：1、留学虽是个体的行为，留学潮却反映宏观政策。近年来在大学校就读的优秀中国留学生数量大幅增长既要归结于两国在精英教育发展水平上的相对差距，又得益于同中法两国对高端人才培养的政策达到契合，因此中国精英留学法国大学校的现象是偶然中的必然。2、从微观的角度研究来看，中国学生留学法国大学校是一种既立足于现有的教育制度，又有超出和打破常规的特点，提供了一个借助国外资源，高效益的留学精英教育的理想模式。这种范式意义具体表现在留学计划的组织设计、留学生的选拔、派出、管理、使用等各个层面。3、大学校中国留学生的收获不仅限于专业的进步与能力的锻炼，跨文化学习和生活的经历让他们的思想更加开放，在具有“世界公民”意识的同时，又表现出令人感动的爱国热情，具有将个人价值更好地与为国家服务结合起来的真诚愿望。在全球化的背景下，留学政策制定者应当以更长远的眼光给他们以更大的发展空间，使人才在更广的范围得到配置，在更高层面的全球游戏中进行布局和定位。

French Grandes Ecoles have achieved a good tradition of implementing the elite education, so that the leading crafts in different social sectors could be well trained here. Although Chinese students started their study in France more than 100 years ago, it is still a new phenomenon that a large number of them go to the French Grandes Ecoles since the beginning of the 21st century. This essay tries to explore the whole studies process of Chinese students as a special group in the unique elite training model with the methodology of combining macro policy analyse with micro student’s individual experiences. On the basis of sumerizing French elite training system context and analysing goverments’s policy on students mobility, we focus on Chinese students who study in French Grandes Ecoles. And from their perspectives, we try to deepen our understanding of French elite training system in order to explore possibility of drawing experience. We then draw the following conclusions: 1. Studying abroad is an individual choice, however, it actually reflects the macro policies. For the past few years, the substantial increase of the number of excellent Chinese students in French Grands Ecoles can be ascribed to the relative gap of the developmental level in two countries' elite education and the consistency of two countries' policies in training top talents. 2. From the micro view, for Chinese students, studying in French Grandes Ecoles is a model of mobility which is based on existent education systems and in the same time surpasses the conventions. It's an ideal way to train top talents abroad with the help of foreign resources.The paradigm significance manifests in organising, designing, selecting, dispatching,managing, using of the overseas students and even in every aspect. 3. Chinese overseas students benefit a lot not only in their professional knowledge's improvement and their abilities, but also in the cross-culture learning and living experience which open their mind. With the sense of "world citizen", they also show the moving patriotism and have the sincere wish to bring individual shared value and better service for the country. Under the background of globalization, the policy maker should broaden their vision to create a larger space for them, to arrange them in broader scale, to layout and put them in the higher level world games, to create conditions for the excellent Chinese overseas students represented by the young talents in French Grandes Ecoles to fulfill their missions bestowed by the times.
