Research on Enhancement Strategies for the Integration of Industry ‐ Education Information Technology Platforms in Vocational Colleges

: During this pivotal period in which China's vocational education is transitioning from a scale-oriented to a connotation-oriented development, efforts to reform vocational education are continuously intensifying, with the integration of industry and education consistently serving as the key logical thread in the reform of the modern vocational education system. Educational informatization stands as a crucial indicator of educational modernization, and the comprehensive promotion of educational modernization through educational informatization is a significant strategic decision for China's educational reform and development. However, integration of industry and education has not formed mutual integration and commonality between the entire school and enterprise levels in aspects such as talent cultivation, faculty construction, and scientific research cooperation, leading to a lack of a scientific evaluation system for assessing the effectiveness of this integration. Therefore, vocational colleges should actively construct an integration of industry and education information management platform based on the thinking of integration of industry and education and the ISO 25010 software quality model. This will further improve and enhance the service capabilities of the integration of industry and education information technology platform, facilitate multi-party interactive cooperation among governments, industries, enterprises, and schools, better meet the requirements of talent cultivation model transformation and innovative development in the construction of higher vocational colleges, and standardize the process of integration of industry and education, making it more transparent, visualizing data analysis, and comprehensively evaluating effectiveness.


Introduction
Since the beginning of the new century, China's education sector has flourished, and vocational education, as an indispensable part of higher education, has ushered in a "new spring."With China entering a new stage of development, industrial upgrading and economic structural adjustments have accelerated, leading to an increasingly urgent demand for technical and skilled talents across various industries.The importance and role of vocational education are becoming more prominent.Deepening the integration of industry and education, promoting the organic connection between the education chain, talent chain, industrial chain, and innovation chain, is of great significance in promoting the connotation construction of higher vocational colleges, comprehensively enhancing the quality of talents, and facilitating economic transformation and upgrading.

Information Asymmetry
Industry-education integration primarily relies on offline operations, leading to opacity in the process and resulting in a mismatch between students trained by schools and the needs of enterprises.There is a lack of a coordinated communication mechanism between schools and enterprises, with schools lacking channels to understand the practical demands of enterprises, and enterprises not being involved in the teaching and talent cultivation processes of schools.The combination and optimization of resources in the industrial chain, talent chain, innovation chain, and education chain are insufficient, leading to a low level of matching between the supply and demand of talent cultivation, causing difficulties for students in finding employment and creating a shortage of skilled workers for enterprises.

Relatively Low Enterprise Participation
The long distance between schools and enterprises results in a relatively low level of integration between talent cultivation and enterprises.This phenomenon not only leads to high costs for enterprises to share resources with schools but also directly affects the enthusiasm of enterprises to participate in talent cultivation.Although there is participation from government, industry, and enterprises in the construction of industry-education integration, the main responsibilities are unclear, and the level of participation is low.

Unreasonable Curriculum Design
The joint establishment of talent cultivation plans and the implementation of curriculum construction between schools and enterprises have not been fully realized.The courses offered by schools are overly theoretical, lacking in practical operation, and unable to meet the talent demands of enterprises.Additionally, some course standards lag behind industry development.Furthermore, schools do not put enough effort into the introduction and training of dualqualified teachers, resulting in young teachers lacking practical experience and being unable to effectively guide students in practical operations.Moreover, teachers lack industry backgrounds, making it difficult for them to stay informed about industry trends and new technologies, processes, and materials used by enterprises.As a result, they cannot adjust the course content in a timely manner to adapt to the pace of enterprise development, leading to a discrepancy between what schools offer and what enterprises need.

Imperfect Evaluation System
The lack of a scientific and reasonable evaluation system affects the effectiveness evaluation of industry-education integration construction, the establishment of an effective supervision and rectification mechanism, and the promotion of high-quality development of industry-education integration.Without multiple channels to collect effective data, it is difficult to scientifically and objectively assess the quality of talent cultivation, making it challenging to evaluate the implementation effects of industry-education integration objectively.Moreover, an imperfect evaluation system greatly affects the development of students' learning interests, the improvement of teachers' comprehensive qualities and practical teaching abilities, and the innovation of cooperative talent cultivation models between schools and enterprises, as well as the optimization of curriculum configurations.
In summary, most higher vocational colleges have not formed a comprehensive picture of industry-education integration at both the school and enterprise levels in terms of talent cultivation, faculty development, and research cooperation.There is a lack of a scientific evaluation system for assessing the effectiveness of industry-education integration.Therefore, it is imperative to build an industryeducation integration information platform based on modern information technology, particularly utilizing informationbased big data technology.

Analysis of the Perceived Quality of Existing Industry-Education Integration Information Technology Platforms
