Research on the Digital Transformation Policy of German Vocational Education from the Perspective of Multiple Streams Theory
Through the analysis of Multiple Streams Theory,it can be seen that the common goals and demands of the development of vo-cational education in the EU,the challenges to German vocational education in the era of"Industry 4.0"and other issues have triggered discussions and actions among guilds,trade unions,experts and scholars,putting forward several policy agenda options.Driven by the po-litical streams of education concepts and strategic decisions at the national level as well as expectations and demands for digital literacy of the public,German Federal Ministry of Education and Research issued the"Vocation Education 4.0"guidance framework,accelerating the convergence of the three streams and opening the"policy window"of the digital transformation of vocational education.Since then,Ger-many has successively issued a series of digital transformation policies for vocational education and carried out a comprehensive digital transformation plan and strategic layout for vocational education,aiming to adapt to the development needs of the"Industry 4.0"era and cultivate professional and technical talents for future digital work,which has laid a solid foundation for improving the digital ability of teachers and students in vocational colleges,enhancing the effectiveness of vocational education and promoting the future development of German vocational education.
