应用心理学专业就业“亮红牌”的办学原因分析与对策研究

Reasons and Countermeasures for the Disqualification of Applied Psychology Majors

对我国开设应用心理学专业的330所学校的学历层次、招生时间、地域分布、学校类型和就业方向等内容进行分析,尝试探讨部分省份应用心理学专业就业被亮起"红牌"的办学原因。分析表明,应用心理学专业在单位时间内开办数量较多、区域分布不平衡、培养规模数量较大、层次较低是导致该专业就业率较低的主要原因。各办学高校在考虑缩减招生的同时需要注重开拓就业市场,单一专业方向的设置造成培养"产品"同质性较高,学生就业路径狭窄,致使应用心理学专业在多个省份被亮起"红牌",影响该专业招生和就业的美誉度。

This paper analyzes the educational levels, enrollment times, geographical distributions, school types and employment directions of 330 schools that have applied psychology majors, trying to find out why the employment rates of psychology majors in some provinces have been given "red-cards". The analysis shows that the major reasons are the opening of a large number of applied psychology majors in the same period of time, the imbalanced regional distribution, and too many graduate students with low levels of education. All colleges and universities which run the major should consider the expansion of the employment market as well as the reduction of student numbers. The redundancy of a single specialty leads to the homogeneity of trained talents and narrows the employment path for students, resulting in the disqualification of the major in many provinces and affecting the future enrollment and employment.
