Theoretical Construction and Practical Path of the Collaborative Education Mechanism between Graduate Counselors and Class Advisors under the Three-in-One Holistic Education System

Abstract

With the continuous expansion of China’s graduate education system and the diversification of training models, the new era has raised higher requirements for cultivating high-level talents. Under the “Three-in-One Holistic Education” framework, structural deficiencies in the ideological and political education management system for graduate students have emerged, where the lack of collaborative mechanisms among educational stakeholders hinders educational effectiveness. This study focuses on the coordination mechanism between graduate student counselors and class advisors, constructing a theoretically coherent and practically feasible collaborative education model. From a functionalist perspective, the research demonstrates the necessity and feasibility of introducing the “graduate class advisor” role, positioning it as a pivotal hub. Building upon this foundation, a five-dimensional collaborative education mechanism model is proposed, achieving optimized allocation of educational resources and enhanced effectiveness. This study provides a theoretical framework to address challenges in ideological and political education, offers practical pathways and policy insights for universities to establish educational management systems, and holds significant implications for deepening the “Three-in-One Holistic Education” reform and cultivating high-level talents.
