应用本科视角下我国网络教育努力的新方向

我国网络学历教育脱胎于全日制普通高等教育,受惯性思维与教育体制的双重影响,其方方面面都留下了学术性研究型大学的烙印。这与我国网络教育致力于培养应用型人才的应然定位极为不符,削弱了网络教育对于我国整体人才结构的贡献。我国网络教育的主要培养区间——本科教育应走出应然定位与实然状态之间的错位,坚定应用本科之方向。我国网络教育在专业设置方面应科学整合生成型模式以响应市场需求,在课程设置方面应摆脱精英教育的课程理念,在支持服务方面应将职业发展教育贯穿整个培养过程,在学业考核方面应强化绩效评估以支持应用能力发展,在师资配备方面应培植能够体现培养定位的教师团队。我国网络教育应力争真正实现学历教育与非学历教育的互通,使网络教育成为与普通高校并驾齐驱的人才培养力量。

New Direction of Web-Based Degree Education from the Perspective of Application Oriented Universities

China＇s web-based degree education, which derives from full-time ordinary higher education, is influenced by inertial thinking and the education system and imbedded with features of an academic university in every aspect. Such a situation is extremely inconsistent with the goal of web-based degree education, which is to cultivate application-oriented talents, and has impeached its contribution to the overall talent structure, of China. Undergraduate education, the main sector of China＇s web-based education, should walk out of the misalignment between the ideal positioning and actual status, and stick to the application orientation firmly. In specialty setup, generative modes should be integrated in order to meet market demand. In curriculum design, the elite education concept should be abandoned. In supportive service, vocational development should run through the whole learning process. In academic assessment, performance evaluation should be strengthened to backup the development of the application ability. In faculty staffing, teaching groups should be raised that can fulfill the cultivation goals. China＇s web-based education should strive to realize the bridging of degree education and non-degree education, and become an equally important strength of talent cultivation as the full-time ordinary higher education.
