The core task of this step is to identify educational policy issues and analyze the process and mechanism of policy agenda setting. Policy issue identification is the starting point of the policy process; many policy failures are already注定 at the problem definition stage. Kingdon's Multiple Streams Model (problem stream, policy stream, political stream) provides a powerful analytical framework for understanding policy agenda setting.

• Apply policy problem construction theory to analyze how educational issues are constructed as policy problems from three dimensions: objective social conditions, value judgments, and interest expression, identifying key actors and power relations in problem definition
• Use Kingdon's Multiple Streams Model to analyze how the problem stream (indicator changes, focusing events, feedback), policy stream (policy proposals, technical feasibility), and political stream (national mood, government turnover, interest groups) converge to open the policy window
• Examine the roles and influence of various participants in the policy agenda (policymakers, experts, media, public, interest groups), analyzing the paths and mechanisms through which policy issues enter the government agenda

The core task of this step is to analyze the formulation process and decision-making mechanism of educational policy. Policy formulation is the core link of the policy process, involving key steps such as goal setting,方案 design, and方案 selection. Rational decision-making model, incremental decision-making model, elite decision-making model, and group decision-making model provide different theoretical perspectives for understanding policy decision-making.

• Apply policy process theory to analyze the specific operation of each stage of policy goal setting, scheme design, scheme evaluation, and scheme selection, examining the organizational structure and working mechanism of policy formulation
• Compare the explanatory power of multiple decision-making models (rational model, incremental model, garbage can model, elite model, pluralist model) in specific policy cases, analyzing the dominant logic and influencing factors of this policy decision-making
• Examine interest game and value conflicts in policy formulation, analyze the demands, strategies, and influence of different stakeholders, revealing the power operation mechanism in policy decision-making

The core task of this step is to track the implementation process of educational policy and systematically evaluate policy implementation effects. Policy implementation is the key link transforming policy text into policy reality, and also a high-incidence stage of policy "distortion". Evaluating policy effects requires establishing a scientific evaluation framework and distinguishing different levels such as policy effects, policy outputs, and policy impacts.

• Apply policy implementation theories (top-down model, bottom-up model, interactive model) to analyze the organizational system, implementation mechanism, resource allocation, and implementation strategies of policy implementation, identifying obstacles and deviations in implementation
• Use the CIPP evaluation model (context, input, process, product) or Kirkpatrick's four-level evaluation model to establish a multi-dimensional policy evaluation indicator system
• Apply a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, including statistical analysis, questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, and case studies, to comprehensively evaluate the goal achievement, implementation effects, and social impacts of the policy

The core task of this step is to analyze the change process of educational policy and explore the mechanisms of policy learning and policy innovation. Policy is not static but continuously adjusts and evolves in practice. Policy learning theory, advocacy coalition framework, and punctuated-equilibrium theory provide important theoretical perspectives for understanding policy change.

• Apply historical institutionalism and policy change theory to analyze the trajectory, stages, and动力 mechanisms of policy change, distinguish between incremental change and disruptive change, and examine the roles of institutions, ideas, and interests in policy change
• Use the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) to analyze different advocacy coalitions in the policy field, their respective belief systems, and how policy-oriented learning promotes policy change
• Summarize the types (instrumental learning, conceptual learning, social learning) and mechanisms of policy learning, analyze how policy failure triggers policy learning, and how policy experience transfers and diffuses among different regions and countries

The core task of this step is to propose targeted policy recommendations based on the previous analysis and design optimized policy schemes. The ultimate purpose of policy research is to improve policy practice; policy recommendations should not be empty slogans but should be scientific, feasible, and operable. Policy scheme design requires applying scientific methods of policy planning.

• Based on the conclusions of policy evaluation and policy change analysis, diagnose the fundamental problems and deep-seated causes of the policy, and clarify the direction and priorities of policy optimization
• Apply scientific methods of policy planning (brainstorming, Delphi method, scenario analysis, cost-benefit analysis, etc.) to design multiple alternative policy schemes and conduct feasibility论证 and comparative analysis of each scheme
• Propose specific policy recommendations and implementation paths, including policy goal adjustment, policy tool optimization, execution mechanism improvement, and supporting measure guarantees, forming a systematic policy optimization scheme
