Research on Classification Construction of Degree Programs Based on Life Cycle Theory

Abstract

The development of degree programs is not achieved overnight, but also has a certain internal growth cycle and development stage. Drawing inspiration from the life cycle theory, a four-stage lifecycle theory of degree programs with incubation period, growth period, development period, and differentiation period was proposed. Then, combining eight key tasks related to degree program construction, including degree program cultivation, application, special qualification evaluation, periodic qualification evaluation, discipline evaluation, level evaluation of professional degree, quality special inspection, and dynamic adjustment, this paper shoot the arrow at the target based on the main work and tasks of degree program construction at different stages. Finally, taking Henan Polytechnic University (HPU) as an example, classified construction of degree programs was implemented, corresponding governance strategies were adopted to improve the construction level of degree programs in different states, and high-quality connotation development of degree programs was promoted.
