Research on Practical Pathways of Data Governance and Application in Higher Vocational Colleges under the Context of Informatization Model Schools

Abstract

With the in-depth advancement of the digital transformation in education, the development of model informatization schools has become a significant direction for the high-quality development of higher vocational colleges. Within this context, data governance and application have emerged as the core drivers supporting the transition of these institutions from system construction to data-enabled empowerment. This paper analyzes the intrinsic logical coupling between the vision of model informatization schools and data governance, systematically elucidating the cognitive framework of data as a strategic asset and its supporting mechanism for the optimization of the educational ecosystem. The study further examines the challenges faced by higher vocational colleges in data governance—namely, heterogeneity dilemmas, agility limitations, and institutional gaps—from the three dimensions of data quality, technical architecture, and organizational synergy. It proposes a systematic pathway based on top-level design, supported by a technical platform, and aimed at scenario-based application. This research provides a theoretical foundation and practical reference for higher vocational colleges to establish a data-driven governance model in the development of model informatization schools.
