The Contribution of Higher Education Element Investment to the Development of Core Competences in the Age of AI
Based on the perspective of value-added contribution of college students'ability,this paper empirically explores the impact of five elements of higher education inputs on the development of core competencies in the era of artificial intelligence,utilizing the data from the employment sample survey of college graduates in 2019.The study finds that:(1)there is a phenomenon of convergence in the supply of core competencies in higher education in China,and students in general undergraduate colleges with middle academic advantages are at the low level in the development of various core competencies;(2)colleges and universities are still the main position for cultivating college students'core competencies,and curriculum teaching is the most important practical element for colleges and universities in shaping students'core competencies,especially the core competencies of students in the age of artificial intelligence.Curriculum teaching is the most important practical element in shaping students'core competencies,especially interdisciplinary courses,which contribute significantly to higher-order core competencies such as innovation and creativity;(3)there are institutional differences in the extent to which the input elements of colleges and universities contribute to the value-addedness of different core competencies,with the net contribution of the"double-tier"colleges and universities being lower than that of the institutions such as senior colleges and universities,and the contribution of the students'more favorable personal and this fact is masked by the contribution of students'more favorable personal and family attributes.It is recommended that colleges and universities reform their classification and evaluation,their curricula and teachers'teaching to ensure that students acquire higher-order thinking and abilities to adapt to the requirements of the new technology,so as to cope with the changes.
