Abstract

It is an indisputable fact that there exists a non-integrated phenomenon between educational theory and practice, and educational theory and practice have the correlation of both interdependence and mutual deviation, so how to make the two coordinate and harmonize the development of the two has become a hotspot of the current research. In this paper, under the perspective of evidence-based education, we explore the coordinated development of the two, construct the coordinated index system of theoretical and practical education, and utilize the entropy weighting method to assign weights to the index system. Subsequently, taking School A as an example, the data-driven web crawler technology was utilized to obtain the relevant data, and the internal coordination level and future development trend of its theoretical and practical education were measured by the linear weighting method, the coupled coordination degree model, and the GM(1,1) model, respectively. The results show that the coupling coordination degree of its theoretical and practical education increases from 0.1489 in 2013 to 0.5609 in 2022, and although it maintains an upward posture, the overall values are lower than 0.6, and the coupling coordination level is low. In addition, the level of theory and practice education coordination is showing a continuous upward trend, with an average growth rate of 15.19%, but has shown a slowing trend. The coordinated and healthy development of theory and practice education in higher vocational colleges and universities can be realized from three aspects: enriching the form of theory and practice education activities, strengthening the atmosphere of theory and practice education, and school-enterprise cooperation. © 2024 Haiying Wang et al., published by Sciendo.
