学习中心多样化实践模式的回顾与展望——以广州电大为例

Review and Prospects of Diversifi ed Approaches to Constructing Learning Centers——A Case Study of Guangzhou Open University

广州电大一直把系统建设视为电大教育向基层延伸,建立人才培养主阵地的重要战略,除重视各区县级电大的建设之外,还与行业、企业、中高职院校、社会力量和教育集团、其他培训机构等合作办学,努力探索电大多元化办学之路。广州电大曾先后与100多个单位开展过合作办学,在开放教育试点之前、开放教育试点至总结性评估及总结性评估之后这三个发展阶段中,学习中心的构成呈现出不同的特点。目前,广州电大系统学习中心构成有着合作对象多元、合作模式多样、功能定位广泛等显著特点,为广州电大向国家开放大学分部的战略转型提供了坚实的系统支持。

Guangzhou Open University(GZOU) has been considering the system construction as an important approach to extending the Radio and TV university(RTVU) education to the grass-root stratum and establishing bases for developing talents. For years, in addition to local RTVUs, GZOU has established an array of learning centers by cooperating with more than 100 partners from a variety of industries, enterprises, secondary and higher vocational schools, social organizations, groups and other training institutions. Such learning centers have taken on different characteristics corresponding to the school's three developmental phases, that is, period before 1999, when the Open Education Pilot Project was launched; that between 1999 and 2006, when the Conclusive Evaluation was implemented; and the one after 2006. At present, the constitution of Learning Center in GZOU System holds out some notable features as follows: diversity of collaborators and cooperative modes, and extensiveness of function and orientation. These strengths would facilitate the GZOU's endeavor to transform itself from a local RTVU into the Open University.
