Existere is the theme of the times. Vocational education is existere. But she is forgetting the human beings. Inquiring the values of her is inevitable. It is of great significance for us to guide the development of vocational education in a correct direction, adjust vocational education curriculum, improve the quality of it and build basic theory of it. On existentialism, it is meaningful for us to establish a theoretical basis of the values of it. This is able to borh eliminate a variety of unhealthy tendencies and understand the beings in vocational education, promoting the quality of the beings' life.The dissertation is composed of three parts:Partâ… : Basic theoretical researches include the first, second and third chapters. This part mainly discusses vocational education on existentialism. In the first chapter, from the key words of vocational education, vocational education means existere. General education and vocational education is distinguished. Chapter II discusses the relations between the human beings and vocational education in China and foreign countries. Vocational education is the survival of a significant. Chapter III explores further what vocational education is from human's existere. The philosophy of existere revealed the existere. Specifically.The existere on Existentialism is the concept of self-examination or reflection to grasp existere. Existere is not simply the substances, but that the existere of generation. Vocational education is the show of existere. Existentialism revealed existere, vocational education guides to existere. It concerns about existere, different from existence, nor the abstract existence, but the existere of specific individuals.Vocational education is closed with existere, ties with the educational activities.Vocational education is aimed at the happy life,to arouse people's vitality,to promote human development and improve people's quality of life. Then, it proves the basic oriented-value in an angle of the relationship between vocational education and human survival and life .In an angle of the relationship between life and vocational education, vocational education itself is life, it should be based on immediate survival in order to be human beingsPartâ…¡: Analysising the status and its reasons of existence vocational education. Chapters IV is included. The main problem in traditional vocational education is existence vocational education, in which existere were seen as existence. That's to say, vocational education implies three metaphors: that is, vocational education equals to the robot education, animal-training and the second-class education. This kind of vocational education pursues substance, regulates the training courses by vocation, so school life is in the lack of vigor and vitality. It's forgetting life-world and existere, alienated individual students to survive, forgetting vocational education functions in ontology. The reasons were mainly in three aspects: First, the traditional Chinese culture impacts on the development of vocational education. China's traditional Confucian culture had very profound negative impacts on vocational education. In particular, the hierarchy of China's education and vocational education in China caused the entire education system in the marginalized. Confucian ethics results the lack of awareness of existere, which is the main cause of the lack of thinking. Meanwhile, under the influence of them.What vocational education is was ignored. Vocational education is to be job-education, only for substance and capacity-based education. The basic shortcoming of the above three views is substantialism. The deep-seated reason lies in the expansion of the rational, which brought about the hegemony of scientific knowledge.To grab a means to life become all of vocational education. Vocational education runs as a means to both national socio-economic development and economic competitiveness.Partâ…¢: Countermeasures. Chapter V is included. This part carries on mainly the reform of vocational education in different angles. First of all, the paper experiences the developped countries, such as Germany, the U.S.A and Japan.

It is to guide the educatedee to pursuit for a higher realm of life in the work-school.The promotion of existere can be achieved.The curriculum is adjusted, which include social life courses, vocational courses and student-experiencing courses.Finally, vocational education evaluation is reconstructed.
