Research on the Construction and Path of the "Industry-Education Integration + Internationalization" Mode of Running Private Colleges under the Background of Hainan Free Trade Port
The development of Hainan Free Trade Port has created an urgent demand for internationalized and interdisciplinary technical professionals. The deep integration of industry-education collaboration and internationalized education has become the core approach for private universities to align with the Free Trade Port's industrial development and highlight their distinctive educational features. Currently, private universities in Hainan face challenges such as insufficient synergy between industry-education integration and internationalization, weak alignment between their operational models and the Free Trade Port's industrial needs, and limited capacity to integrate international educational resources. These issues hinder the synchronization between talent cultivation and the Free Trade Port's development. Against the backdrop of Hainan Free Trade Port construction, this paper leverages the flexible operational mechanisms of private universities to define the core essence of the "industry-education integration + internationalization" educational model. It analyzes the practical motivations and fundamental principles behind its establishment, conducts research from three dimensions—framework development, core element integration, and implementation path exploration—and proposes supporting strategies. The study aims to provide theoretical references and practical paradigms for private universities in Hainan to develop distinctive educational models compatible with the Free Trade Port's development and cultivate interdisciplinary international talents.
