Performance evaluation of industry-education integration in higher education from the perspective of coupling coordination-an empirical study based on Chongqing

such as Internet plus, artificial intelligence, information technology around the industrial layout. (2) At the education subsystem level, improve the supply quality of higher education to industrial development, and meet the demand for talents and services in industrial devel- opment. First, application-oriented colleges and universities should, based on their own school-running characteristics and resource advantages, explore various forms of industry- education integration collaborative education models to improve the quality of talent cultiva- tion. It is necessary to guide institutions, enterprises, government departments, social organi- zations and other cooperative entities to jointly invest in funds, technology and other elements, jointly build disciplines, talent cultivation bases and experimental training facilities, and form a joint education model. Second, production and operation practice activities should be integrated into teaching links, and a collaborative education system that integrates theory and practice should be constructed to improve the quality of education. By learning from the successful experience of domestic and international industry-education integration models such as the German dual system, British alternating work-study program, French apprentice- ship system, and domestic industry-university-research cooperation, we should continue to explore the school-enterprise alternating integration talent cultivation mode, and clarify the dual identity of student apprentices. The theory-practice-theory alternating should be applied

to the entire process of talent cultivation such as course learning, experimental training, skill competition, graduation design. The third is to integrate industry and education to build a " double-qualified" teaching staff, promote two-way talent flow, and improve the quality of the teaching staff. Carry out the evaluation of "double-qualified" titles for university teachers, enterprise engineers, economists, accountants, etc., and improve the salary, benefits, and allowances for dual teacher titles. Encourage university teachers to work part-time in indus- tries and enterprises, and engage in production and operation work such as technology, man- agement, and management in specific positions to gain practical experience. Support enterprise management, technology, and business personnel to work part-time as practical mentors in higher education institutions, carry out practical teaching, and obtain part-time honorary titles and economic rewards. (3) At the industry-education complex system level, promote the interactive coupling of supply and demand between various industries and higher education, and promote the collaborative development of industry-education integration. First, establish a mechanism for interaction between school-enterprise teachers and students, where university teachers serve as enterprise consultants or enter the industry for temporary positions, and enterprise professionals are employed, taught, or trained in universities. Students learn interactively and complementarily in both on-campus classes and off-campus bases, forming an interactive edu-

cation model. Schools and enterprises, as the supply and demand sides of talent cultivation, directly sign a commissioned cultivation agreement, where enterprises supervise and partici- pate in all aspects of the cultivation process, and sign an employment agreement with students after the completion of the cultivation, forming a commissioned cultivation model that aligns supply and demand. Second, promote the alignment of supply and demand through the indus- try-education integration, where higher education institutions collaboratively promote the construction of disciplines and specialties in response to industry needs. The discipline and specialty system is adjusted in a timely manner to meet the needs of Chongqing’s modern manufacturing industry, strategic emerging industries, and strategic emerging service indus- tries. Prioritize support for the construction of disciplines and specialties in artificial intelli- gence, Internet technology, information technology, big data, etc., which are urgently needed in Chongqing at this stage. Vigorously develop specialized disciplines such as smart manufacturing, high-end equipment, new energy, new materials, biomedicine, energy PLOS ONE Performance evaluation of industry-education integration in higher education based on coupling coordination PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0308572 September 18, 2024 18 / 22
