Strategies to Manage Vocational Education to Excellence

This research aimed to develop strategies to manage vocational education to excellence using the Research and Development (R&D) methodology. The study included two phases. Phase 1 involved analyzing fundamental data and needs for vocational education management. The sample was 206 school directors from eight types of vocational institutions under the Office of the Vocational Education Commission. The researchers determined the sample using Taro Yamane’s formula (stratified random sampling) and interviews with experts from three selected model vocational institutions. Phase 2 involved creating strategies through discussions with experts from nine higher education and vocational institutions. Data analysis included percentages, means, standard deviations, and the modified Priority Needs Index (PNImodified). Results showed that the current status of basic data was at a high level overall, while the expected status was at the highest level, with a PNImodified of 0.179. The strategies for vocational education management towards excellence included: 1) Enhancing professional management efficiency; 2) Developing competency-based curriculum quality to international standards; 3) Improving teaching and learning quality; 4) Developing teacher and staff quality to specialized expertise; 5) Building comprehensive human resource development networks; and 6) Enhancing graduate quality to high-competency human resources. The evaluation of these strategies indicated that they were highly appropriate and feasible.

Innovation and Development of Vocational Undergraduate Education Management in the Context of Information Technology

In the context of information technology, vocational undergraduate education management faces unprecedented opportunities and challenges. With the rapid development of information technology, especially the widespread application of emerging technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, vocational undergraduate education management is evolving towards more intelligent, precise, and collaborative directions.

Research on Vocational Education Management from the Perspective of Public Choice Theory

Vocational education contributes to the development of public values, with external effects on promoting social employment and achieving balance in educational structure. However, vocational education also enhances individual vocational abilities, which does not meet the standard of non-excludability. When individuals receive vocational education, it implies a reduction in the opportunity for others to enjoy vocational education. Public choice theory primarily features the analysis and discourse of political activities through economic analysis theory. Therefore, this paper, based on theories such as the attributes of public goods, the economic agent hypothesis, and government failure, focuses on elucidating the internal issues of schools, provision, and management in vocational education. It seeks effective methods to solve these problems to enhance the efficiency and quality of vocational education management.

In this paper, the use of network tools to strengthen the communication between homes and schools, and the other six aspects of the “Internet+ vocational education management mode” are explored.

Research on Development of Higher Vocational Education Resources and Construction of Management System under Learning Migration Theory

Abstract This paper discusses how to construct a higher vocational education resource development and management system under the framework of learning transfer theory in order to improve the utilization efficiency of educational resources and the quality of education. This study explores how to effectively develop and manage higher vocational education resources under the guidance of learning transfer theory. This paper constructs a new resource management framework for higher vocational education by adopting the statistical and geometric migration criterion. The study results show that the utilization efficiency of higher vocational education resources is significantly improved through the transfer learning algorithm, for example, the matching degree of learning resources is increased by 30% and the teaching effect is enhanced by 20% after applying the transfer learning method. In addition, student learning effectiveness increased by 25% by implementing an improved learning migration framework. The study’s conclusion points out that the development and management of higher vocational education resources can be effectively optimized through the rational use of transfer learning theory, thus improving the quality and efficiency of teaching.

Exploration and efficiency assessment of the management model of higher vocational education with poa concepts

Abstract Current vocational high school management practices suffer from low efficiency, mainly due to inadequate backing from pertinent educational theories. In this study, the POA concept is first used as a guideline for the innovation of the management mode of higher vocational education, and 30 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China are taken as the research objects. Then, based on the output and input indicators, we constructed the efficiency assessment system of education management, used the DEA model to make static measurements of education management efficiency in 2020-2022, and further analyzed the dynamic evolution trend of the efficiency of higher vocational education management by using the Malmquist index. According to the results, less than 50% of higher vocational colleges and universities are classified as non-DEA practical situations. For these higher vocational colleges and universities, their input redundancy and output insufficiency are analyzed, in which the two input indicators of total public expenditure and the number of administrative personnel of decision-making unit 1 are insufficient. The input insufficiency rate is 13.43% and 73.01%, respectively. According to the input and output of each higher vocational college or university, the corresponding solution measures are proposed to improve the efficiency of educational management of higher vocational.

Creative and Predictive Management of Vocational Education in the Context of Social Partnership Development

This research aims to theoretically substantiate the effectiveness of creative-prospective management in the professional training of contemporary youth in the context of developing social partnerships. Additionally, it aims to describe the functional model of creative-prospective management in professional education within the social partnership framework. The study involved 482 South Ural State Humanitarian-Pedagogical University students, the Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, and the Shadrinsk State Pedagogical University. Furthermore, 100 graduates currently employed in secondary education institutions participated in the study. The following methodologies were employed in the experiment: the Mehrabian Achieving Tendency Scale (used by employers and social partners to determine the relationships between partners in social partnerships) and the modified Magomed-Eminov (1989, 2002) scale (utilized by employers and social partners to assess the quality of graduates' professional training). A multistage quota sampling technique and a review of the modification questionnaires were used to ensure the experiment's reliability. Respondents participated in the assessment of the effectiveness of professional education managers. The empirical research revealed synergistic connections between an expanded list of specialities and training directions associated with the differentiation of professional education and the employability of graduates in the Ural labour market. It was determined that creative and prospective management is necessary to prepare highly qualified and competitive graduates. This allowed for identifying key criteria for assessing the quality of higher education and their indicators, including the level of overall development and professional qualifications of graduates, as well as the employability of graduates in the labour market. Implementing creative and prospective management can serve as the basis for the dynamic expansion of international educational agglomerations. The development of social partnerships can increase the competitiveness of educational organisations involved in diversification processes within the international educational space. The analysed theoretical and practical positions emphasise the challenges and possible solutions associated with the system of social partnership.
