摘要

设计/方法/途径通过对最新文献和互联网资源的反思,以及与微证书领域的专家(包括教育工作者、学习者和雇主)进行深入的头脑风暴,确定了阻碍微证书实施的因素。同时采用了两种排序方法,即用于丰富性评价的组织方法偏好排序法(PROMETHEE)和基于比率分析的多目标优化法(MOORA),对主要挑战进行排序。研究结果本研究的结果表明,缺乏明确的定义、课程描述含糊不清、缺乏认证和质量保证、薪酬政策不明确、学时与学习成果之间缺乏协调、学习量不足以及缺乏个人和组织的接受度是微证书实施过程中排名最靠前且最重要的障碍。研究的局限性/意义教育机构、组织和政策制定者可以利用研究结果更好地理解这些问题,并制定相应的策略来解决这些问题,从而使微证书成为一种更受认可的教育和资格形式。

Achieving professional qualifications using micro-credentials: a case of small packages and big challenges in higher education

Purpose

This study examined the factors impeding the implementation of micro-credentials and accepting it as a credible source of earning professional qualifications and certifications necessary for pursuing higher education or other career goals.

Design/methodology/approach

The factors were identified by reflecting on the recent literature and Internet resources coupled with in-depth brainstorming with experts in the field of micro-credentials including educators, learners and employers. Two ranking methods, namely Preference Ranking for Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) and multi-objective optimization based on ratio analysis (MOORA), are used together to rank the major challenges.

Findings

The results of this study present that lack of clear definitions, ambiguous course descriptions, lack of accreditation and quality assurance, unclear remuneration policies, lack of coordination between learning hours and learning outcomes, the inadequate volume of learning, and lack of acceptance by individuals and organizations are the top-ranked and the most significant barriers in the implementation of micro-credentials.

Research limitations/implications

The findings can be used by educational institutions, organizations and policymakers to better understand the issues and develop strategies to address them, making micro-credentials a more recognized form of education and qualifications.

Originality/value

The novelty of this study is to identify the primary factors influencing the implementation of micro-credentials from the educators', students' and employers' perspectives and to prioritize those using ranking methods such as PROMETHEE and MOORA.

As the whole structure and philosophy of education goes through a sea-change, and as budgets are cut, educational managers need to keep abreast of new developments in order to maximize their resources and determine the most appropriate management strategy for their institution. The journal explores research in the following areas: -Innovation in educational management across the spectrum -The development of educational delivery mechanisms -Creation of an environment in which the management of resources provides the most efficient outputs -Sharing of new initiatives, with an international application The International Journal of Educational Management addresses the increasingly complex role of the educational manager, offering international perspectives on common problems and providing a forum for the sharing of ideas, information and expertise.
