Exploration and Reflection on the Development of Internationalized Industry-Education Integration of Vocational Education in the Context of Big Data

The integration of industry and education serves as a potent mechanism to enhance the educational quality of higher vocational colleges and universities while simultaneously fostering the innovative vitality of enterprises. This study delineates a framework for internationalized industry-education integration in vocational education, grounded in the tripartite relationship among government, enterprises, and educational institutions. Building on this framework, the research initially constructs a performance evaluation index system for internationalized industry-education integration, which encompasses three dimensions: the input, process, and outcomes of industry-education integration. Subsequently, the weights of these indices are determined through hierarchical analysis, and the integration performance of four sample institutions is assessed using fuzzy analysis. The findings reveal that all sampled institutions surpass a ‘good’ performance level, with Institution X1 achieving the highest comprehensive evaluation score of 86.3593. Further, the study conducts an empirical analysis comparing the implementation effects of two models of industry-education integration: the ‘group-run school’ model and the ‘industrial park’ model. The study indicates that the ‘industrial park’ model is marginally superior by 0.13 points in its evaluation compared to the ‘group-run school’ model; however, this difference is statistically insignificant (P>0.05), suggesting that both models exhibit distinct characteristics yet achieve comparable outcomes in integrating industry and education. The research offers actionable insights and practical guidance to advance the development of internationalized industry-education integration within vocational education contexts.
