Logic and Approach of High-quality Development of Higher Vocational Education from the Perspective of Triangle Coordination Theory
Promoting the high-quality development of higher vocational education is an inevitable requirement for accelerating the construction of a high-quality higher education system in China.Drawing on Burton Clark's"Triangle Coordination Model",a theoretical framework of analysis is constructed,which is triangular and constituted by the elements of"university-state-society".Reviewed through this theoretical framework,the high-quality development of higher vocational education adheres to three primary logics:the humanistic logic of fostering comprehensive student development,the political logic of serving the implementation of major national strategies,and the market logic of addressing the needs of social and economic development.To achieve this end,the realization of high-quality development in higher vocational education necessitates the coordinated advancement of the tripartite forces of the university,state and society.This entails fulfilling the fundamental task of cultivating moral character and sustaining the"comprehensive development"of higher vocational education;leveraging the government's leading role to establish a solid foundation for the"coordinated development"of higher vocational education;and stimulating market vitality to reshape the symbiotic pattern of"integrated development"within higher vocational education.
