Abstract
Driven by the dual forces of deepening reforms in China's vocational education system and the rapid development of the sports industry, sports vocational colleges, as important carriers for cultivating high-quality skilled talent in the sports industry, have their educational efficiency and resource allocation level become key indicators for measuring educational quality and social contribution. Based on panel data from 17 provincial-level sports vocational colleges between 2019 and 2024, this study uses a super-efficiency DEA model and the Malmquist index to measure static and dynamic efficiency, and employs a Tobit regression model to analyze the influencing factors of efficiency. The results indicate that: (1) overall input efficiency of sports vocational colleges is moderately above average, but significant regional disparities exist; (2) the structure of financial investment, depth of school-enterprise cooperation, and the proportion of 'dual-qualified' teachers have a significant positive impact on efficiency; (3) colleges with a high degree of industry-education integration perform better in total factor productivity growth, primarily driven by technological progress. The study suggests that deepening industry-education integration is a key pathway to improving the resource allocation efficiency of sports vocational education and supporting the transformation and upgrading of the sports industry. Innovatively, this paper combines efficiency evaluation methods with the perspective of industry-education integration, constructing an efficiency assessment framework with characteristics of sports vocational education, providing empirical evidence and policy insights for the high-quality development of sports vocational colleges.
