บทคัดย่อ

This study aims to establish a credit bank system that provides learners with a new education system for accumulating and transferring learning outcomes. Also, it lays the foundation for the construction of national qualification frameworks. This article firstly reviews and compiles the experience of credit bank system construction in typical foreign countries and points out that the credit bank system promotes the organic articulation between different forms of education by providing a platform for the authentication and transfer of learning outcomes. Secondly, the article analyses the lessons accumulated during the construction of credit banks in different regions of China. It concludes that insufficient top-level design and unsmooth operation mechanisms are the outstanding problems. Finally, the article conceptualizes the connotation and basic principles of China's national qualification framework and argues that the relationship between flexibility and standardization should be handled well to create a framework of open sharing, multi-dimensional synergy, and dynamic updating in order to support the healthy development of the credit-banking system and to promote the modernization of education.
