ObjectiveTo analyze the 2023 learning society construction project in order to provide references for researchers in this field. MethodsExcel 2021 software was used to summarize and comb the list of key tasks for the construction of a learning society in 2023 (field of higher continuing education) published on the official website of the Chinese Ministry of Education, and to visually analyze the research topics of key tasks in the medical field and the distribution of applicants. ResultsThe analysis found that a total of 250 projects were shortlisted in the cultivation and construction list, including 100 teaching reform and innovation tasks of continuing education for academic degrees, 100 reform and innovation tasks of non-academic education, and 50 tasks to explore the path of coordinated innovation of the three education. The project involved digital transformation, education and teaching reform, ideological and political education, etc. There were 17 medical projects, accounting for 6.8% of the total number of key tasks. The 17 medical key task declaration units were distributed in 12 provinces (regions), which were mainly concentrated in East China, and the construction of "non-double first-class" universities as the main force; The results mainly focused on personnel training and education and teaching reform. ConclusionThe analysis results of the key task list of 2023 learning society construction (field of higher continuing education) provide important references and enlightenment for the researchers in the field of education, and provide guidance and references for the future development of higher continuing education.
ObjectiveTo systematically map the development landscape of micro-majors in China, analyze their current research status and core issues, and explore future strategies for their high-quality development. MethodsThis study adopts a research paradigm combining policy text analysis with bibliometric methods. It systematically reviews national and local policy documents concerning micro-majors, higher education reform, and industry-education integration to clarify the logic of policy drivers. Concurrently, it retrieves core journal literature on micro-majors and employs tools such as VOSviewer, R software, and Origin to conduct visual analyses across dimensions including publication trends, high-frequency keyword clustering, institutional distribution, and disciplinary intersections. ResultsChina's micro-majors have evolved through phases of independent exploration, rapid expansion, and standardized national development. The "Double Thousand" initiative has integrated them into the country's top-level educational framework. Research focuses on four key areas: talent cultivation, industry-education integration, interdisciplinary collaboration, and pedagogical reform. In practice, science and engineering universities lead the development, though regional distribution remains uneven. The disciplinary landscape has formed a multi-hub, cross-disciplinary empowerment model. ConclusionMicro-majors have evolved from supplementary learning tools into a vital component of the nation's strategic talent reserve.
