Research on the Operation Mode of Industry-Education Integration Training Bases from the Perspective of Multi-actor Governance

Abstract

Under the national strategy of deepening industry-education integration,training bases (including modern industrial colleges and sectoral industry-education integration communities) are key carriers that link education, talent and industry. However, in practice, there are widespread problems such as "emphasizing establishment over operation" and insufficient sustainability. Although existing research has been conducted from multiple perspectives such as governance, operation, resources, and models, it has mostly focused on static architectures and universal mechanisms, revealing deficiencies in the process by which multiple subjects such as government, industry, enterprises, and schools jointly construct operational models through dynamic interaction, game play, and adaptation in specific contexts, and the literature remains “fragmented”. There is a lack of in-depth exploration of systematic coupling and contextualized adaptation mechanisms among the core elements. For this purpose, this paper uses a systematic literature review method to conduct an integrated review of the research on the "operation mode of industry-education integration training bases from the perspective of multi-actor governance" in China. The study examines the evolution context of eight thematic areas: governance structure and synergy, operation mechanism and management, resource integration and allocation, model and carrier innovation, policy and strategy, performance and sustainable development, stakeholders and dynamic mechanism, international comparison and theory. The analysis found that significant progress has been made in the field: perspectives have shifted from a single to multiple, issues have moved from morphological description to institutional core, methods have moved from speculative to empirical, and theoretical tools have shifted from reference to innovation, laying the foundation for understanding "what", "who participates", and "how to build" the training base. This paper further points out four major limitations of the research: insufficient attention to the dynamic process and deep mechanism of "co-governance"; Weak research on the system integration and contextualized adaptation of operating modes; The performance evaluation dimension is narrow and lacks process tracking; There is a "borrowing" approach to the application of theories, and there is a lack of localized theoretical construction. Based on this, future research should focus on the dynamic political process of multi-subject interaction, construct a systematic analytical framework of element linkage, conduct empirical research based on multi-dimensional efficacy and long-term tracking, and strive for local theoretical innovation that deeply interconstructs with China's unique policy and cultural context.
