对高等职业教育教学质量监控和评价体系的研究

高等职业教育作为高等教育的特殊类型,其教学质量监控和评价标准与其它教育类型有较大区别。由于高等职业教育在我国起步晚、发展时间短,在教学质量监控和评价方面存在一些问题;加强对高等职业教育教学质量监控和评价的原则、实施办法以及评价内容的研究,建设和完善符合高等职业教育需要的教学质量监控和评价体系,是高等职业教育健康发展的必要保证。

"用工荒"与"就业难"并存形势下高职校企合作人才培养研究

＂用工荒＂与＂就业难＂同时存在的现象,其实质上是人才结构、产业结构的问题。高职校企合作是职业教育人才培养与经济社会发展需求相适应的重要途径。我国的高职校企合作大多是低水平、浅层次的,为此,应大力培育和发展行业协会,加快推进高职院校人才培养机制创新,建立健全政府主导、行业指导、企业参与的办学机制,促进校企合作制度化,建立起一个可持续发展的校企合作的良性循环机制。     

African Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Human Rights: Implications for Higher Education,Based on the South African Experience

ABSTRACT

Africa has rich traditions and knowledge systems founded on the principles of caring for one another and the spirit of mutual support embedded in the African philosophy of Ubuntu. These collective values tend to be marginalised in international human rights standards built on western values. The standards were developed without broad-based consultation of the different value systems in Africa. Therefore, in order to inspire sustainable implementation among diverse cultures, dialogue to develop universal human rights and obligations based on the diversity of cultures and ways of knowing is needed. Using South Africa's experience at two universities, the extent to which these institutions have attempted to incorporate African indigenous knowledge systems (AIKS) and human rights into the higher education curriculum is investigated. The implications for higher education and the human rights and development paradigms built on western knowledge systems are investigated. North-West University has been the pioneer of integrating AIKS into higher education in South Africa and is the only higher education institution in South Africa with an accredited IKS Teaching Programme at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels – which has been notably successful, albeit with some challenges. AIKS has also been integrated into research and teaching at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and has registered significant successes since 2012. The need to embed AIKS in the curriculum of higher education institutions is affirmed.     

The American University in Bulgaria and U.S. Agency for International Development Relationship

Abstract

Upon recognizing a need for a center of western oriented university education, an initiative committee including representatives from the Republic of Bulgaria, the city of Blagoevgrad, and the University of Maine obtained support from philanthropist George Soros's Open Society Institute and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to start a university in Bulgaria in 1991. The hallmark of its existence was that its programs would be oriented toward teaching democratic values through the American liberal arts tradition. Instruction would be in English so it could draw on students throughout the region if they were proficient in English. The university has grown from a small enrollment of 208 students to over 700 students in several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. As the American University in Bulgaria (AUBG) has become a regional institution, the AUBG–USAID relationship has been crucial. Now it is beginning to offer an EMBA program and has developed an excellent reputation through its graduated students.     

试论高职教育课程体系建设的问题与对策

高职教育以培养应用性人才为宗旨,其本质特征是职业性。教育实践中作为关键要素之一的课程体系建设还不能与之相适合。需要打破学科体系范式,根据工作过程性特点,以学生综合素质培养为基础,以职业能力为主线,合理处理理论课和实践技能课的协调关系,以构建独具特色、应用性强的高职课程体系。     

浅析高职法学教学中的案例教学

高职法学教育包括通识教育和职业教育两部分,正确处理二者的关系,是高职法学教育健康发展的重要前提.高职院校应突破传统法学教学,积极采用案例教学法,通过开展案例教学,既能解决高职学生素质参差不齐、教学效果不明显的问题,又能克服传统的法学教学方法重理论轻实践的弊端,从而突出职业教育的实践环节,促进职业教育与经济建设、社会发展紧密结合,为社会主义法制建设培养出合格、优秀的法律职业人才.     

物流管理专业高等数学教学中兴趣的激发与培养

现代综合物流管理中,对物流经济管理、质量管理和工程经济管理等具体职能的管理都需要利用高等数学理论,但物流管理专业的学生在学习高等数学时,却普遍存在学习积极性不高,学习兴趣不浓的现象,为解决这一问题,教师需要通过以下4种途径,激发与培养学生的学习兴趣:(1)有意识地揭示高等数学与物流管理的关系;(2)注重数学思想方法和数学素质的培养;(3)采用灵活多变的教学方法和教学手段;(4)增加数学史内容。
