知识经济时代,成人教育的发展空间更为广阔,非学历教育已经成为主流,成人学习者对知识需求的实践性和多样性大大增强。然而很多高校没能适应这种趋势的变化,无法满足成人学习者的知识需求,造成了严重的生源危机。高校成人教育必须在实践性知识的创造和传播方面采取有效措施,辅以国家在课程开发方面的政策支持,才能真正破解当前的生源危机。 In the era of knowledge economy, adult education has more room for development, non-academic education has become the mainstream, and the practicability and diversity of adult learners’ knowledge needs have been greatly enhanced. However, many colleges and universities failed to adapt to this trend change, unable to meet the knowledge needs of adult learners, resulting in a serious crisis of students. Adult adult education in colleges and universities must take effective measures in the creation and dissemination of practical knowledge, supplemented by the state’s policy support in curriculum development so as to truly crack the current student crisis.
