Generation Drivers,Participation Subjects and Implementation Strategies of Micro-credentials of Vocational Education in New Zealand:From the Perspective of Institutional Entrepreneurship Theory
The introduction and promotion of micro-credentials of vocational educa-tion is a key strategic initiative to reform the vocational education qualification system in New Zealand.From the perspective of institutional entrepreneurship theory,the generation drivers of micro-credentials in New Zealand include skills mismatch in the labor market,the low education level of vulnerable groups,and the narrow specification scope of the voca-tional education qualification system.Driven by the above drivers,government depart-ments,industry organizations and tertiary education institutions that pursue core interests and have the resources at their disposal act as participants,and adopt rhetorical strategies of carrying out individual pilots and distributing consultation documents,the theoretical strategy of clarifying the essential connotation,social network strategies of streamlining the operation system and improving the guarantee mechanism,and cultural strategies of inte-grating training schemes and open database information based on investing resources,so as to successfully promote the introduction and promotion of micro-credentials in the vocation-al education qualification system and reform the vocational education qualification system.
