Abstract

The modernization of higher vocational education cannot be separated from the social, economic and cultural environments. At the critical moment of the great rejuvenation of PRC and China's education reformation, as an important part of China's higher education, the modernization process of higher vocational education has attracted much attention. In order to evaluate the modernization level of higher vocational education in Chinese provinces and municipalities, this paper constructs a system of six first-level indicators based on the CIPP mode, including industry-teaching integration, exchange and cooperation, organization and implementation, talent cultivation, teaching reform and social service, which covers 31 second-level indicators and 39 specific indicators. After calculating the weight coefficients of the second level and first level indicators by using twice entropy method, the scores of the first-level indicators and the total scores are calculated, and the reasons are analyzed and countermeasures are put forward after interprovincial horizontal comparison.
