ABSTRACT

The construction of a vocational undergraduate curriculum system is a core component to ensure the quality of cultivating high-level technical and skilled talents. Aiming at the problems existing in the current practice, such as the vague positioning of objectives, the disconnection between content and industry, the loose structure, and the singular implementation evaluation, this study proposes a practical path to systematically construct a vocational undergraduate curriculum system based on the competency-based approach as the fundamental principle. The study clarifies the connotation of the competency-based approach in the vocational undergraduate level toward the expansion of comprehensive vocational abilities and reveals that the construction of the curriculum system needs to follow the five logics of vocational education development, knowledge construction, cognitive development, school-enterprise symbiosis, and curriculum evaluation. On this basis, a systematic solution is proposed with the "two-domain and two-dimension" goal framework, the "four basic rules" content specification, the "modular and spiral" structural design, and the "school-enterprise dual-system" implementation mode as the core, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for vocational undergraduate colleges to carry out curriculum reform and highlight type characteristics.
