Comprehensive Research on Formulation Processes and Systemizations of The Learning-Supporting Network by Higher Education Institutions

本研究项目为期两年。因此，我们主要收集了国家社会教育培训学院和高校图书馆的文献资料，并在第一财年调查了一些与该项目相关的先进案例和著名案例。此外，我们还采访了几位专家，并通过电话从相关人士和相关网站收集了信息。结果发现，高等学校的助学网络有3种类型。类型1：在交换单元制中成长起来的高等学校网络扩展到公民层面，然后利用公民的学科学习系统参与网络学习；类型2：根据地方政府的政策制定广泛的学习支持网络，然后多所高等教育机构作为成员加入网络。类型3：一些高等教育机构(或高等教育机构和地方政府)以社区为基础，分享本社区的问题。在第二个财政年度，我们访问了几个基于这些类型的机构和组织(学习支持网络)，并综合了一些高等教育和终身学习专家的意见。我们可以清楚地看到，在实现和推动学习支持网络的过程中，存在一些关键点，例如相关人员之间的“共享框架(=共同目标)”，或者所有成员的相互信任和共同工具。
