Policy Analysis of the Industry-education Integration in Chinese Higher Engineering Education——Based on Schneider and Ingram's Policy Tool Analysis Framework
As a significant measure to promote the reform and development of the educational system in China,the integration of industry and education plays a crucial role in guiding the direction of engineering ed-ucation and enhancing the quality of talent cultivation in this field.To delve into the policies on the integration of industry and education in China's higher engineering education,this study focuses on the policy texts issued at the national level from 1991 to 2022.Based on the policy tool analysis framework proposed by Schneider and Ingram,a quantitative and content analysis is conducted on 49 policy texts.The findings reveal that the current policies on the integration of industry and education in China's higher engineering education suffer from issues such as unclear responsibilities of issuing authorities,structural imbalance in the use of policy tools,and inadequate long-term cooperation mechanisms between universities and enterprises.In response to these issues,suggestions for future policy adjustments on the integration of industry and education are pro-posed:clarifying the responsible authorities for policy implementation and implementing coordinated supervi-sion;balancing the use of policy tools and optimizing their combination;refining policy contents and establis-hing a long-term cooperation mechanism for both schools and enterprises.
