Theoretical Framework and Practical Pathways for International Talent Training in Educational Informatization from the Perspective of “Industry-University-Research-Application” Synergy

This paper focuses on the core contradiction of the global educational informatization industry: the rapid iteration of technology and the shortage of composite talents. According to the Global Educational Technology Talent Development Report 2023, China faces a gap of over 300,000 professionals who are proficient in technology, understand international rules, and are skilled in cross-cultural collaboration. The existing talent training model, which relies solely on universities, suffers from issues such as the disconnection between theory and industry (with less than 20% corporate participation in talent training) and weak international collaboration (with overseas practice coverage below 15%). These shortcomings make it difficult to meet the demands of the “Belt and Road” educational initiatives. Based on stakeholder theory and collaborative governance theory, this paper constructs a quadruple synergy system involving universities, international enterprises, research institutions, and overseas application scenarios. Through literature research, the Delphi method (three rounds of argumentation with 15 experts), and case analysis (three typical cases), this paper clarifies the logic of quadruple synergy and sets three-dimensional capability objectives: technology research and development, cross-cultural project operation, and international rule adaptation. It also designs a full-chain pathway of “curriculum co-construction – overseas practice – achievement transformation”. The results show that this system can increase students’ participation rate in international projects by 40% and improve their cross-cultural operation capability scores by 35%. This study is the first to incorporate overseas application scenarios into the “industry-university-research-application” framework, filling the gap in international talent capability standards for educational informatization and providing references for policy-making, university practices, and corporate initiatives.
