The Evolution Logic,Construction Mechanism,and Experience Reference of the Classification of Instructional Programs in the United States
Since 1980,the United States has revised the Classification of Instructional Programs(CIP)five times,gradually forming a unique and rationally complete mature institutional system.The dynamic CIP reform is a dynamic process featuring interactive coupling between internal and external multiple factors and forces.The evolution logic shows that,under the collaborative synergy of three major elements,i.e.the regulatory driving system led by the government,the normative driving system supported by multi-agent collaboration,and the social cognitive driving system guided by economic transformation and upgrading,the reform enables the adjustment of core elements such as discipline groups,specialties,majors,and emerging inter-disciplines,which will be submitted upward to the construct behavior authorities for revision and promulgation.The process is a cyclical and spiral evolution.The construct mechanism of the CIP in the United States includes a scientific,rigorous,democratic and open construct concept,the revision goals to meet the"three requirements"and"four standards",and the strict three-stage evaluation process of"data collection+statistical analysis","research and argumentation+draft formulation",and"collective review+public feedback".Based on the study,this paper proposes some measures to strengthen the construction of the CIP in China in the future,including empowerment to institutional innovation,rationalization of operation mechanism,establishment of a collaborative catalog management and a revision mechanism at different education background levels,promotion of the optimization of disciplinary structure and layout in a continuous manner,and promotion of the development of emerging interdisciplines.
