二战前美国职业教育发展中的制度创新

Institutional Innovation in the Development of American Vocational Education before World War Ⅱ

无论是对英国学徒制和欧洲中等实科学校的借鉴与改造,还是沟通普通教育与职业教育的综合中学的创办,抑或赠地学院和初级学院的蓬勃发展,无不显示出美国对职业教育的制度创新。美国职业教育发展过程中的制度创新是推动美国职业教育快速发展的一股源头活水,以历史的视角考察二战前美国职业教育发展历程中的创新性,对于我国当今的职业教育建设具有启发意义。

Whether it is the borrowing and transformation of British apprenticeship and European secondary real schools or the establishment of the comprehensive schools which combine the general education and vocational education, or the development of land grant colleges and junior colleges, they all show the institutional innovation in the American vocational education. Institutional innovation in the development of American vocational education is an important reason for the rapid development of the American vocational education. Studying the innovativeness in the development of American vocational education before World War II from the historical perspective is of great significance for the construction of contemporary vocational education in China.
