Historical Evolution,Dynamic Mechanism and Enlightenment of Recognition of Prior Learning in the United States
Recognition of Prior Learning originated in the United States,which has been widely used as a lifelong learning incentive system.The United States has rich experience in the development of Recognition of Prior Learning.For more than one hundred years,Recognition of Prior Learning in the United States has gone through three stages:initiation and foundation,enrichment and development,reflection and revival.At the same time,in its development period,social change is the basic driving force,the change of educational idea is the internal driving force,and the promotion of economic development is the direct driving force.There are also issues such as a lack of awareness of prior learning recognition,a mismatch between prior learning and follow-up programs,a dearth of financial support and related incentives,and an increase in educational inequality.For reference from America's experience,our country should first change the traditional idea,arouse the consciousness of recognition of prior learning;focus on disadvantaged groups and provide a variety of recognition methods;and establish consistent policies to monitor and respond to needs on a regular basis.
