Abstract

Integration of industry and education has become the main approach for Local undergraduate universities to cultivate applied talents. However, there are problems such as insufficient motivation for integration, lack of governance mechanisms, and a single mode of collaborative education. This article reinterprets the process of collaborative education through the lens of actor-network theory and formulates corresponding incentive and governance mechanisms. By analyzing the actors involved in the collaborative practice of integrating industry and education, such as government, universities, enterprises, teachers, students, policies, curricula, and practice platforms, their motivations, capabilities, and interests are identified. The process of collaborative education is then analyzed from four aspects: problem identification, benefit attribution, effective mobilization, and sufficient motivation. Based on this, incentive mechanisms based on core actors and governance mechanisms based on all actors are constructed to enhance the motivation of actors, adjust the relationship network among actors, expand the network effect, and explore distinctive and diversified collaborative education models.
