Abstract

The construction of a curriculum system based on work process is the core path for higher vocational education to deepen the integration of production and education and improve the quality of talent cultivation. Based on the essential characteristics of higher vocational education, “vocationality, practicality, and openness,” this paper defines the core connotation of a work process-based curriculum system, analyzes its essential differences from the traditional subject-based curriculum system, and systematically proposes implementation strategies for curriculum system construction from five dimensions: vocational post research, typical work task analysis, curriculum content reconstruction, teaching model innovation, and evaluation system optimization. The research aims to provide theoretical reference and practical paradigms for higher vocational colleges to solve the problem of “disconnection between learning and application” and cultivate technical and skilled talents meeting industrial needs.
