New Researches on the Credit Transfer System in US Universities —— A Case Study Based on Three US Public Universities

“二战”后到20 世纪80 年代，随着社区学院的兴起和发展，美国高等教育学分衔接体系得到了较好的推进。本文以三所美国大学的学分转换模式为例，分析美国现代高等教育在适应社会需求和满足学习者个性化方面的独有特点，探讨其对于我国高等教育，特别是成人高等教育人才培养及实施弹性学习制度的借鉴意义。

With the emergence and development of community colleges from the end of the Second World War to 1980s, the credit transfer system also underwent rapid development in the US higher education. In the context of the establishment of a learning society and implementation of the concept of lifelong education, education has the tendency of being more and more close to the general public. Meanwhile, learners are increasingly concerned about the equality of educational opportunities, learning effectiveness and recognized learning outcomes. The present paper focuses on the credit transfer system in three US public universities in order to analyze the new features of modern American higher education in the process of adapting to social needs and meeting the learners’unique demands. It also intends to explore the possibilities of implementing flexible learning systemin Chinese adult higher education.
