Micro-Certification for Learning Procession in Higher Education:Connotation,Element Design and Application Strategy
Micro-certification is an important developmental and diagnostic education form in higher education to promote the devel-opment of students'suitability.However,an in-depth analysis of the education effect of micro-certification shows that the evalua-tion-based concept of micro-certification is dominant,whereas its value potential in penetrating learning support has not yet been discov-ered.Based on learning progression,this article explores the value connotation of micro-certification in promoting learning progression from three aspects:course learning,professional ability development and life-long learning development.Meanwhile,it takes four design principles,namely goal precision,task scenarization,certification feedback agility,and standard design gradient to promote learning pro-gression,carrying out the design strategies of micro-certification system from the four core elements:micro-capability model,evidence model,task model and evaluation standard.Finally,it explores the application strategy of micro-certification to promote learning prog-ress from three aspects:teaching-learning-evaluation integration,university-enterprise certification interoperability and lifelong learning system construction.
