Quality Education via a Talent Cultivation Mode of School-Enterprise Cooperation Based on the Collegial Management Theory

Abstract

With the development of science and technology, integrating academia with industry has become increasingly important and school-enterprise cooperation is on the rise. However, the talent cultivation mode of school-enterprise cooperation is at its infancy. There are still many problems of the school, enterprise and government in school-enterprise cooperation. This research explores the talent cultivation mode of school-enterprise cooperation in China. School practical teaching, enterprise input and government involvement are the three main factors rarely studied. This research adopted a quantitative research method, and questionnaires were distributed to students, teachers, enterprise employees, and government officers in Xingtai City, Hebei Province, China. The respondents were from six schools, eight enterprises, and three government departments, and 598 questionnaires were collected. Research findings reveal that school practical teaching, enterprise input, and government involvement have a positive effect on the talent cultivation mode. However, based on Bush’s (2020) collegial management theory, strengthening the three factors can improve the talent cultivation mode and provide quality education, a more sustainable  access to knowledge and educational resources and good governance.
