Research on the New Model of Student Education Management in Vocational Colleges

Vocational colleges are an important type of higher education in China. Higher vocational education aims to adapt to social needs and designs students’ knowledge, ability, quality structure, and training plans based on the cultivation of technical application skills. Emphasizing both theoretical teaching and practical training, graduates have the skills to work directly. At this stage, vocational education in China is in an important period of transformation and development. In order to better adapt to the rapid development of society, many vocational colleges have carried out management system reforms in student education management, with the aim of cultivating more high-quality and skilled talents that meet the needs of social development, and providing higher quality vocational education services for the country and society. In the process of physical education reform, due to regional and other factors, many reform models cannot adapt to the current situation of student education management in vocational colleges in the new era. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously explore new models suitable for vocational colleges. Based on the background of the physical education reform in vocational colleges, this article uses methods such as literature research and visits to analyze the current situation of education management in vocational colleges, the problems and possible reasons that exist in student education management in vocational colleges. This article discusses the possible new models of student education management in vocational colleges from the perspectives of repeated management methods, management concepts, management mechanisms, and evaluation systems, and elaborates on their new paths. Efforts are made to improve the management mode of student education in vocational colleges, innovate the management mechanism of vocational colleges, and actively explore the improvement of the management mode of student education in vocational colleges.

Improvement of the financial management supervision system of universities in the context of big data

Abstract This paper first describes the process of the BP neural network mining algorithm, then applies the optimization algorithm to optimize the BP neural network model to improve its performance. The data mining algorithm is used to mine the financial management and supervision data of colleges and universities and analyze the problems in the financial management and supervision system of colleges and universities in terms of the financial management reimbursement process, budget process, financial information entry, and financial supervision respectively, and put forward suggestions for improvement. Regarding the awareness of financial information in colleges and universities, only about 30% of the people in each project said they understood it. In terms of financial work satisfaction, more than 50% are satisfied and very satisfied. On the problems of the reimbursement process, 87.75% of people think the approval process is long, 70.5% think the reimbursement rework rate is high, and 57.6% think the reimbursement queuing time is long. It is difficult to track the budget progress on a financial budget, lack of modern technology in the financial system, and lack of budget supervision are the top three, accounting for 77.3%, 77.5%, and 69.6%, respectively. Financial management in universities should keep up with the times and actively reform for the existing problems.

The paper examines the level of Procedural, Functional, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (PFPCK) competency needed by Data Processing (DP) teachers to effectively use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in ICT-based classrooms. A descriptive survey research design was used in the study. Three research questions were raised, and one hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. 130 DP teachers randomly selected from 11 Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in Gauteng province in South Africa formed the sample population. The instrument used in the study was a self-developed questionnaire titled Data Processing Teachers Competency of Procedural Functional Pedagogical Content Questionnaire (DPTCPFPCQ). Personal and observation checklists were also used in the study. The data were analyzed using mean scores and t-tests. The results showed that DP teachers possessed the necessary competency of PFPCK needed to use ICT tools in the digital classroom. It was also revealed that there was a significant difference in the level of competency and acquisition of skills between the pre-service and in-service DP teachers in the use of ICT in the class. It was therefore recommended that the management of TVET colleges and other similar institutions should help to improve DP teachers procedural, and functional knowledge in the use of ICT as a pedagogical tool in ICT-enhanced classrooms.

Challenges to the Teaching of ICT Related Courses in Office Technology and Management Programmes In Colleges of Education

The study focused on the challenges to the teaching of ICT-related courses in OTM programmes of Colleges of Education in Katsina and Kano States. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The design of the study was a survey design. The population of the study comprised one hundred and seventy-seven (177) lecturers in the Department of Business Education in the Colleges of Education in Katsina and Kano States. There was no sampling. The entire population was studied. A structured questionnaire duly validated and with reliability coefficient of 0.95 was used for data collection. One hundred and seventy-seven copies of the questionnaire were administered on the respondents. All the copies were accurately completed and returned. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while t-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 confidence level. The results of the study showed that the challenges to teaching of ICT related courses in Office Technology and Management (OTM) programmes in colleges of education are teaching facilities and human resources related. It was also found that there is a significant difference between the mean responses of male and female lecturers on teaching facilities related challenges to the teaching of ICT-related courses in OTM programmes in Colleges of Education. In addition, it was found that there is a significant difference in the mean response of lecturers on human resources-related challenges to the teaching of ICT-related courses in OTM programmes in Colleges of Education based on ownership. The implication is that OTM education graduates may not be relevant in this era of ICT if these challenges are not well tackled by the management of colleges of education. It was recommended, among others, that management in colleges of Education should provide adequate ICT teaching facilities and adequate human resources for effective implementation of OTM programmes. Government should provide adequate funding to enable effective provision of teaching facilities and appropriate mix of the quality and quantity of human resources needed for the effective implementation of ICT related programmes in OTM in the colleges of education.
