Research on the Optimization Path of Emergency Management Education in Higher Education Institutions—An Integrated Practice Based on Scenario Deduction

Abstract

In the context of frequent risks in the “VUCA” era, emergency management education in higher education institutions is not only an important component of the emergency management system but also a core element for universities to implement the fundamental task of fostering virtue through education and promoting quality education. Furthermore, it represents a key practical area for the interdisciplinary integration of pedagogy and emergency management. Currently, emergency management education in Chinese universities faces challenges such as a disconnect between theory and practice, a lack of diversity in educational methods, and insufficient targeting in competency cultivation. These issues make it difficult to meet the dual demands of cultivating emergency management professionals and ensuring campus safety education in the new era. Scenario deduction, as a core practical method in the fi eld of emergency management, possesses practicality, interactivity, and simulation capabilities. It can effectively bridge the professional requirements of emergency management with the educational goals of pedagogy, addressing the challenge of rigid integration between the two. Based on the educational philosophy of pedagogy and the professional logic of emergency management, and considering the current state of emergency education practices in universities, this paper explores the application value and implementation pathways of scenario deduction in university emergency management education. The aim is to construct an integrated education model of “theoretical instruction—scenario simulation—capability enhancement— competency internalization,” providing theoretical references and practical insights for universities to optimize emergency management education and achieve deep integration between pedagogy and the discipline of emergency management.
