Visualization of Research Hotspots and Evolutionary Pathways in Chinese Undergraduate Vocational Education from the Perspective of Biological Sciences

Abstract

This paper adopts a bioscience perspective to critically examine Chinese undergraduate vocational education, with an aim to foster innovation across various levels of engineering, technology, and skill development. The study emphasizes talent cultivation through vocational banding theory, which enhances knowledge transfer, lifelong learning, and humanistic qualities such as craftsmanship, aesthetic sensibility, and social responsibility. It reflects on the education system's orientation towards major openings and vocational positions, highlighting a pattern of school-enterprise joint participation. The connection between undergraduate vocational education and enterprise positions is meticulously analyzed to ensure alignment with industry demands and job-specific competencies. Curriculum designs are tailored to job tasks, with teaching and internship training grounded in project-based tasks. The analysis includes an evaluation of ideological and political courses, which have been assessed through 326 research sessions, achieving a 90% teaching satisfaction rate. The study also addresses the need for professional transformation and structural adjustment within undergraduate vocational education to enhance its responsiveness to evolving industry requirements. This strategic restructuring aims to supply high-quality technical and skilled talent effectively, driving the sustainable development of the vocational education system.
