Empowering Industry-Education Integration of Intelligent Construction Specialty Group with New Quality Productivity: Path Construction and Empirical Research

Abstract

New quality productivity serves as a core impetus and guiding direction for the digital transformation of the construction industry and the reform of industry-education integration concerning the intelligent construction specialty group. In view of the prominent dilemmas in the current industry-education integration of this specialty group—including superficial school-enterprise collaboration, outdated curriculum systems, misaligned practical training scenarios, and a single-layered evaluation mechanism—this study takes the empowerment of new quality productivity as the entry point. It analyzes the inherent coupling logic between new quality productivity and industry-education integration, constructs a four-dimensional education pathway featuring 'government-school-enterprise coordination, post-course-competition-certificate integration, virtual-real scenario linkage, and diversified closed-loop evaluation', and conducts empirical testing based on practices in local higher vocational colleges. The research methodology incorporates both qualitative analysis and quantitative assessment to validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework. Through systematic implementation and evaluation over multiple academic cycles, the results demonstrate that this four-dimensional pathway effectively breaks through bottlenecks in industry-education integration, significantly improves talent training quality and industrial adaptability, and provides a replicable practical reference for advancing the reform of industry-education integration of intelligent construction specialty groups in peer institutions. The findings highlight the transformative potential of new quality productivity in reshaping vocational education paradigms and fostering sustainable industry-academia partnerships.
