Abstract

Against the backdrop of accelerating globalization, cultivating talents equipped with global competence has emerged as a paramount objective in the development of higher education. As a vital pathway for the internationalization of higher education in China, Sino-foreign cooperative education programs play an instrumental role in talent cultivation. However, their current curriculum systems encounter numerous challenges in adapting to the rigorous demands of global competence training. This study employs comprehensive methodologies, including literature research and detailed case analysis, to deeply examine the current landscape of curricula within Sino-foreign cooperative education programs oriented toward global competence. The findings reveal significant deviations between established curriculum objectives and actual global competence requirements. Furthermore, the curriculum content remains insufficient for robust cultivation, teaching methodologies fail to align with competence standards, and existing evaluation systems lack adequate consideration of global metrics. Based on these critical insights, this study proposes a comprehensive series of strategies to enhance curriculum adaptability. These include optimizing curriculum objectives to better align with cultivation requirements, updating content systems by integrating cutting-edge international knowledge and multicultural elements, improving pedagogical approaches through cross-cultural teaching, and perfecting evaluation frameworks by incorporating global competence into core indicators. Ultimately, these strategic interventions will significantly improve the quality of talent cultivation in cooperative programs and provide robust support for nurturing high-quality, globally competent professionals.
