本科职业教育:概念、属性及实践策略

Undergraduate Vocational Education:Concepts,Attributes and Practical Strategies

本科层次的职业教育是高等教育对社会经济发展形势的一种回应,也是对高等教育体系自身的一种改革和引领。“本科职业教育”是职业教育,但也是本科教育。在“职业教育”前增加一个“本科”来修饰,这不仅是一种“称谓”或一种职业教育的年限扩大而产生的新名词,而是包含着职业教育的一种新要求和新内涵,包含了与高专职业教育相区别的属性。唯有厘清“本科职业教育”概念的内涵及其属性才能更好地开展教育实践,才有助于提升本科职业教育实践的合法性与合理性。

Vocational education at undergraduate level is a response of higher education to the social and economic development situation,as well as a reform and guidance of higher education system itself.“Undergraduate vocational education”is vocational education,but it is also undergraduate education.Adding“undergraduate”in front of“vocational education”is not only a“title”or a new term generated by the expansion of the number of years of vocational education,but contains a new requirement and new connotation of vocational education,including the attributes different from higher vocational education.Therefore,only by clarifying the connotation and attribute of the concept of“undergraduate vocational education”can we better carry out educational practice and promote the legitimacy and rationality of undergraduate vocational education practice.
