A Preliminary Study on the Career Development Path for Higher Vocational Teachers of Professional Basic Courses in the Context of "Double Quality"

Abstract

As we pay attention to the "double quality" improvement of teachers in vocational colleges and require the "necessity and sufficiency" of vocational education theoretical knowledge, higher vocational teachers of professional basic courses encounter career dilemmas such as coexistence of overload and shortage of teaching workload, difficulty in seeking curriculum construction opportunities, difficulty in carrying out horizontal project research, and limited qualifications for participation in skill competitions. This paper proposes paths for higher vocational teachers of professional basic courses to cope with these difficulties and seek career development, including improving teaching ability, breaking through the limitations of professional background, broadening the path for "one specialty with multiple skills"; overcoming the inertia of teaching, extensively connecting courses, and carefully organizing classrooms and textbooks; joining the research team to improve the theoretical level of the subject; developing areas with potential achievement based on student needs.
