Innovative Teaching Strategies: A Breakthrough to Traditional Teaching IN Secondary Vocational Schools

Abstract

With the reform of China's education sector, secondary vocational schools have begun to notice the shortcomings of the traditional teaching model. Although the traditional teaching mode is very advantageous for teaching students' theoretical knowledge, the practical knowledge still stays at the book level, which is not in line with the cultivation goal of vocational and technical education. Therefore, the traditional vocational and technical education model does not meet the current social demand for students' employment. The research design used in this study was quantitative descriptive and the participants were teachers from secondary vocational and technical schools in Jilin Province, totaling 35. The results of the study showed that the practice of using innovative strategies for classroom instruction, by introducing a project-based teaching methodology that allows students to explore and learn knowledge by engaging in real-world projects, not only promotes high-quality vocational-technical education, but also is in line with the direction of the development of vocational-technical education. The results of this study will also contribute to the innovation of teaching strategies and may also influence the localized vocational and technical education teaching model to provide some reference suggestions.
