高等职业教育与普通高等教育互渗性的再认识

我国现行的普通高等教育与高等职业教育体系,从根本说是一种认识与实践的关系,这种内在联系提供了二者相互渗透的可能。普通高等教育"职业化"和高等职业教育"普通化"的发展趋势,决定了其互渗的必要。在实现两种教育体系优势互补方面,对高职院校来说既要着眼于拓展受教育者的发展空间,也要注重其专业技能的提升,即在强化公共基础课和专业基础课教学的同时,还应注意与专业技能课的结合;对普通高校而言,一是利用"小学期制"充实实践教学的内容,二是把专业实习变成真正的职业训练,解决理论与实践脱节及学生动手能力不强的问题。     

Higher Education in Further Education: Northern Ireland

This paper reviews the provision of higher education courses in the further education sector in Northern Ireland. It charts the evolution of policy through the 1990s by examining major policy documents. It notes the chronic absence of reliable statistical and research evidence during this period. The available statistical evidence is reviewed. Key themes are identified including: localism, ‘non‐evidence based policy making’, higher education versus the demand for skills and community relations and equality. The innovative concept, now it would appear doomed, of the Springvale campus for west Belfast is examined. Finally, the paper notes that there is an urgent need to provide strategic direction to the further education sector as a whole.     

English Further Education through American Eyes

This article examines various commonalities and divergences between the English further education system and its nearest US equivalent, the community college system. In terms of commonalities, the article discusses the reliance on sub-university institutions to provide access to higher education, persistent dilemmas attendant to that reliance and conflicts over efforts to make non-university post-secondary institutions become more specialised in their missions. With regard to divergences, this article examines differences between the two types of institution in the strength of transfer arrangements, the ability to award the baccalaureate degree, the competitive environment and the balance between national and sub-national governance.     

A View from Within the English Further Education Sector on the Provision of Higher Education: Issues of Verticality and Agency

This article considers aspects of higher education provision in general further education colleges in England, as seen from within the further education sector. It argues that there is a need to examine what are the defining features of higher education, who determines them, and the risks and advantages of structuring further and higher education vertically, so that given subject areas are taught at several levels within the same institution. Evidence is given to show that the funding, qualifications and inspection regimes applying in England to the majority of provision in general further education colleges are increasingly different from those in universities, giving less agency to both staff and students. This raises questions both about the extent to which the differences rationally reflect the different nature of the learners and their courses and about the implications for expansion, differentiation and participation in undergraduate education.

发展高职教育的再探讨

面对知识经济的挑战,我国高等职业教育必须面向市场,依托岗位,自主办学,提倡学分制,建立高职教育领域的学位制度,为经济建设培养复合型应用人才。     

深化高等教育改革,为建设美好四川培养创新型人才

中国共产党四川省第九次代表大会提出了建设美好四川的宏伟目标。对于四川这个相对落后的西部省份来讲,要实现这一宏伟目标,非常重要的一点,是要有大批创新型人才。然而,目前我们高校的人才培养模式还存在诸多弊端,这些弊端使我们难以最大限度地培养出创新型人才。这就内在地要求我们必须深化高等教育改革,形成有利于创新人才培养的高等教育模式。为此,文章根据建设美好四川的内在要求、针对高等教育存在的弊端,就深化高等教育改革、构建创新型人才培养模式进行了探讨。

Policy-Participation Trajectories in English Higher Education

The pattern of expansion that brought mass characteristics to English higher education is very different from that intended to achieve near‐universal access by the end of the present decade. The spectacular growth of the late 1980s and early 1990s was neither projected nor planned, with important consequences for the shape of the English system. By contrast, the policies of renewed expansion and widening participation from the late 1990s represent a radical attempt to change the traditional pattern of demand for English undergraduate education, with future growth focused on the short‐cycle forms of vocational higher education. Although influenced by the example of Scotland in building expansion at levels below the first degree, the policy experiment pursued in England is highly distinctive, including the invention of a new undergraduate qualification and a partnership role for further education colleges.
