The Connotation of Talent Cultivation Management System of Higher Vocational Education and Its Ideal Model Construction

The rapid development of higher vocational education has occasionally led to a disconnection between talent cultivation and social needs, prompting researchers to focus their attention and concern on the quality problem of higher vocational education. This paper focuses on the current issues related to talent cultivation in higher vocational education. It employs the quality function development (QFD) method to conduct a thorough analysis of the talent cultivation management system in higher vocational education. It then establishes a corresponding quality house model, tests its reliability through simulation experiments, and ultimately constructs an ideal model for talent cultivation in higher vocational education. The model application calculates the stakeholder demand weights using the DEMATEL-RAHP method and then combines the questionnaire survey results to determine the final demand weights. Next, we calculate the weights of the qualities based on the correlation matrix between stakeholders' needs and quality assurance characteristics. The development achievement dimension has the largest demand weight at 0.4497, and the basic conditions dimension and the interaction dimension have the lowest demand weights at 0.2874 and 0.2629, respectively. The management of talent cultivation in higher vocational education should prioritize the reinforcement of the management system, the construction of practice infrastructure, the deepening of industry-university-research institute cooperation, and the cultivation of graduates' core competencies. Government management (0.0641), university management (0.0619), student participation (0.0606), and social collaboration (0.0476) have average weights that are in descending order. Talent cultivation in higher vocational education should be the government's leading and guiding role, based on university management and social collaboration. This paper confirms the QFD model's viability in managing talent cultivation in higher education. © 2024 Li Liang et al., published by Sciendo.
