The research results shows that the professional quality of teachers of common required courses cannot significantly influence the satisfaction of teaching and scientific research;Job saturation can positively influence teaching and research satisfaction;teaching and research satisfaction can positively influence teachers’ job satisfaction.

Discussion on the Pathways for Cooperative building of Vocational Education Platforms

the enactment of Planning for Modem Vocational Education System （2014-2020） [[2014] No. 6 of MOE] declares the development of vocational education in China has entered a new historical stage. The development of vocational education, after being elevated to the level of national strategy, will inevitably imply that the existing resources for vocational education must be effectively integrated. To improve the quality of vocational educational institutions, enhance social service levels of vocational institutions and provide smooth career paths for professional talents, are the main goal of vocational education in the future. Since innovative education system for vocational institutions is the inevitabl choice to achieve the above development goal, to innovate the educational system by way of cooperative building of vocational education platforms is the inevitable requirement upon the development of vocational education.

Expedition to the blockchain application potential for higher education institutions

In the education sector,blockchain is currently at the end of the peak of inflated expectations in Gartner’s Hype Cycle.Thus,it is crucial to understand whether this technology meets the expectations of Higher Education Institutions(HEIs).We go on an expedition to identify blockchain application scenarios and its potential for HEI administration-the universities are digitalized to just 23.3%.Current information systems research addresses classifications of blockchain-based projects(application level)rather than their technical realization(protocol level).Thus,when evaluating blockchain application scenarios in HEI administration,we intensively consider the technical side of blockchain-based projects.We perform a threestep approach:(1)systematic literature review,(2)qualitative exploratory semi-structured interviews to sup-plement information on market-ready solutions,and(3)an evaluation of the potential of the blockchain-based projects identified,based on HEI administration requirements.We find that the leading blockchain application scenarios are credential verification and record-sharing.At the protocol level,we obtain equivocal results regarding the technical realization of projects,e.g.,their underlying blockchain types and storage models.At the application level,when discussing the potential of different projects,we find that most of them address adaptability,complexity decomposition,and cost reduction requirements between HEIs;interest diversity and stakeholder collaboration between HEIs and business actors;privacy and trust between HEIs and students.

Technical and Vocational Education Training in Brunei Darussalam——Pathway to Higher Educations

In the 21stcentury educational landscape,higher educational institutions(HEI)play a crucial role in the shaping of social and economic strategies of a developing country.HEI’s main role is to develop and train the workforce for the middle to higher level employment.Technical and vocational education(TVE)on the other hand,plays the role in filling the major work force at the lower or blue collar level and at the same time,providing pathways and opportunities for them to pursue further educational needs.In Brunei Darussalam,HEI works closely with TVE to ensure there is a continuation pathway for TVE to HEI although there are fundamental differences in the philosophy,pedagogy and assessment measures.In Universiti Teknologi Brunei(UTB),the design of the curriculum has always been outcome based;heavily related to skills and practices of the job market,similar to TVE’s teaching and learning philosophy.In this study,we are looking at the brief development of TVE and HE across the world and Brunei,the qualification framework of Brunei and curriculum design of UTB.The study will highlight how UTB provides a smooth transition for TVE feeders to the university to support the value of practical learning in workplace settings,combined with conceptual learning in an academic setting.The primary role of UTB is to assist graduates in the transition to professional practice.

职业与学术的跨界融通:德国与瑞士高校入学资格的比较研究

教育扩张背景下,关于高等教育布局、高校教育任务和高校入学资格设计的国际策略是丰富多样的。在共通的文化逻辑和经典的职业教育理念支撑下,德国和瑞士对于高校入学资格的设计在一定程度上是以相似进程发展的:为积极回应教育扩张和分化的要求,科学地纳入了职业教育元素,促进高校入学资格的类型分化,在纯粹的职业教育与学术教育之间建立起混合路径,增强了国家教育体系的发展性、规制性和融通性。然而,两国在高校入学资格的具体安排上有所不同:德国更加注重类型的包容性以及与高等学校类型的绑定关系,瑞士则更加侧重类型的平行性以及与中等学校类型的绑定关系。通过深入分析两国高校入学资格的制度安排,管窥职业教育与高校教育发展并重的德语圈国家,如何通过高校入学资格类型分化实现职业与学术的跨界融通,为职业教育与学术教育协同创新提供启示。

民办本科职业技术大学试点建设分析:特征、挑战与路径

本科层次职业教育是建立健全现代职业教育体系的新实践。从政策层面看,我国已完成本科层次职业教育的顶层设计;从实践层面看,32所本科职业技术大学已经试点了3~5年。民办高等教育因市场而生,因需求而大,因特色而强,以22所民办本科职业技术大学质量年度报告为样本,分析发现试点学校具有覆盖广布局少、起步晚发展快、举办主体多元、专业特色鲜明等群像特征,在试点过程中也面临高层次的教师队伍不够、高质量的教学内涵不优、高水平的科研服务不多、高能效的治理能力建设不足等挑战。为此,未来民办本科职业技术大学应围绕彰显类型定位,紧扣新定位新使命乘势而上;凸显专业特色,直面新问题新挑战逆势而进;尽显制度优势,把握新趋势新变化顺势而为,实现民办本科职业大学高质量有特色地发展。

产教融合视阈下高职院校高水平专业群治理研究——基于56份“双高计划”学校中期绩效自评报告的文本分析

产教融合视阈下高职院校高水平专业群治理的逻辑框架必须遵循产业发展需求的逻辑、知识关联的逻辑和组织治理的逻辑。以56份“双高计划”学校中期绩效自评报告为研究对象,运用NVIVO12.0软件对专业群治理逻辑归纳而建构的要素指标进行数据挖掘和分析,结果表明专业群产教融合形态由“单一虚体”向“多元实体”蜕变有待突破,专业间知识关联由“弱关联”向“强关联”演变有待强化,组织管理形态由“科层治理”向“多元治理”转变有待革新。产教融合视域下高职院校高水平专业群治理应坚持“以产定群”,搭建区域产业集群与专业知识关联耦合的专业群;坚持“以群治院”,打造治理结构与治理效能相匹配的组织体系;坚持多元共治,搭建产教协同与利益共享的实体育人平台。

高等职业技术教育机构是现代高等教育体系的重要组成部分,是培养高层次技术技能人才的主要组织形式。对高等职业技术教育机构在高等教育体系中类型分化的国际历史进行考察,可见其作为行业法人团体、专门职业学校、应用技术院校与非大学高等教育机构的组织形式,并与普通学术教育机构共同发展的历程。在分化过程中,高等职业技术教育机构出现了教学活动专业化、职普制度协同化和科学研究融合化的趋势。基于国际历史考察与发展趋势分析,启示我国高等职业技术教育机构要进一步强化专业教师队伍建设,探索职普融通的制度体系,深化机构的研究职能。

课堂缘何难以革命:高职院校课堂改革的制度困境与路径选择——基于社会学新制度主义的视角

课堂是人才培养的主战场,课堂革命是提升人才培养质量、增强职业教育适应性的重要手段和关键举措。但在实践层面,课堂难以真正深度革命成为制约职业教育高质量发展的瓶颈。基于社会学新制度主义的视角对高职院校师生进行深度访谈和分析发现,高职院校课堂改革面临着制度性制约因素,具体表现为:规制性制度缺位导致课堂难以主动革命,规范性约束异化引致课堂难以深度革命,文化性认知消极致使课堂难以长效革命。有鉴于此,为破解高职院校课堂改革制度困境,推动课堂革命有效发生、深度实施,应夯实制度基础,增强规制性影响;遵循改革规律,增强约束性期待;重塑文化认同,增强理解性支持,从而响应新时期高职院校以高质量课堂培养大国工匠的时代诉求。
