Features of the implementation of distance education at universities in China
DOI: 10.23951/2307-6127-2023-4-96-103
The article reveals the natural features of the implementation of distance learning in modern China. It shows the contribution to the development of digital media research and digital resources in vocational education. The author summarizes the information presented in the works of foreign and national researchers in order to clarify the prospects for applying the experience gained in China in the framework of higher education in Russia. The theoretical significance of the research coincides with the disclosure of the factors that ensure the progress of higher education in China. These factors include two fundamentally important trends found in modern China. The first of them relates to the desire to establish control over the implementation of innovative transformations in education by the state. The second trend is related to the progressive decentralization of management methods implemented in China regarding the delegation of authority for the development of distance and open education to the level of local authorities. Thus, the moment of inconsistency accompanying the functioning of educational systems in modern China is highlighted. The way out of this problematic situation is seen in the framework of the support of the state authorities on the initiatives of civil society, which serves as a support for the implementation of the state educational policy. As a result, the research allows concluding that the innovative development of higher education leaves an imprint on the transformation of Chinese society as a whole. The prospects for transferring the experience accumulated in China show the need to eliminate the most problematic moments and borrow only positive developments that help to give a new impetus to the Russian higher school and expanding the mechanisms of its interaction with friendly foreign partners.
