Research on the Optimization of Archive Management for Master’s Degree Candidates under the Equivalent Academic Level System

同等学力申请硕士学位制度是我国高等教育体系的重要组成部分，对提升人才培养质量和促进教育公平具有重要意义。然而，当前同等学力申硕人员的档案管理中存在制度不健全、信息化程度不足、档案安全性和隐私保护薄弱等问题，导致管理效率低下，影响申硕流程的规范性与透明度。本文基于文件生命周期理论，结合文献综述和案例分析，识别了档案管理中的关键瓶颈，并从制度建设、信息化推进、安全管理及人员培养等方面提出了针对性优化策略。为推动同等学力申硕制度的持续发展，本研究从四个维度提出针对性的优化建议，以期改善同等学力档案管理的规范性和效率。The system of applying for a master’s degree through equivalent education is an important part of China’s higher education system, playing a crucial role in improving the quality of talent cultivation and promoting educational equity. However, the current management of records for candidates applying through equivalent education is hindered by incomplete regulations, inadequate information management, weak security, and insufficient privacy protection, leading to low management effi- ciency and reduced transparency in the application process. Based on Records Lifecycle Theory and through a review of the literature and case analysis, this paper identifies key bottlenecks in record management and proposes targeted optimization strategies in terms of institutional development, information management, security enhancement, and personnel training. To promote the sustainable development of the equivalent education application system, this study offers targeted recommendations from four dimensions, aiming to improve the standardization and efficiency of record management for equivalent education candidates.
