Based on the national socialscience fund research project named of Research on LearningAbility Evaluation and Training of Higher Vocational CollegeStudents in China, firstly, the paper uses the questionnaire onhigher vocational students’ learning ability to investigate teachersand students who are from many demonstrative highervocational colleges in China. From the perspectives of bothteachers and students, we find the conclusion that the Learningability level of higher vocational students is in middle or upper levelin our country.

And it can draw onexperience that is in the process of cultivating learning ability ofhigher group students to cultivate learning ability of the studentswho are in medium or lower group. Secondly, aiming at the existingproblem of students’ learning ability, learning advanced researchresults on learning sciences at home and abroad, and combining with the present situation of the higher vocational education andthe talent’s capability required by employers, the authorspecifically formulates a series of strategies that will be used tocultivate learning ability of higher vocational students.
