Research On Practical Teaching Of Mechanical And Electrical Specialty In Secondary Vocational School

The purpose of vocational education is to train people and offer services in the process of human growth for the students as well as community. Our responsibilities are as follows: to provide suitable education for the growth and development of students according to the actual situation of the school and the characteristics of students, so that each student could be able to do their best in learning and working.With the guidance of such ideas, combined with certain characteristics of current vocational education, we integrated relevant teaching resources after a detailed study on the teaching of mechanical and electrical profession. We also carried out a series of specific research work after studying the actual situation of students and social needs, for instance, an overall planning of the course content, and teaching methods reform. Firstly, integration of current teaching content helps to raise teaching efficiency, by using school-based teaching materials on the basis of national and local materials, which could offer a precise and constructional learning content. Currently, textbooks differ among vocational schools. With no common requirements on teaching materials, some higher education teaching content is even directly brought into vocational teaching materials, of which the depth, the applicability can not meet the needs of vocational school students. Therefore, a reasonable combination as well as a further improvement of the relevant materials is required. Secondly, strengthen school-enterprise joint work to improve practical teaching. By permeating expertise with enterprise culture, the students will better adapt to the enterprise in advance with what they have fully mastered. Thirdly, strengthen professional skill training, perfect certain profession and individualized teaching. Refine professional learning based on its characteristics and the actual needs of students and enterprises, so as to avoid learning so many specialties while obtaining no outstanding specialty. To enable each student to learn at least a fine specialty founded on personal preference so that they will better adapt to future work. Fourthly, learn in doing to stimulate interest and raise teaching efficiency. For some vocational school students, traditional teaching methods have lost their attraction. Practice first could stimulate their interest for further exploration and enthusiasm in positive learning, which will greatly enhance the efficiency of practical teaching. Last but not least, radioactive skill training could effectively enhance teaching efficiency. With the inspiration from traditional master-to-apprentice inheritance, we cultivate several capable and outstanding students first, and then enable them to guide other students as their apprentices. It will not only improve teaching efficiency but also solve the problem of teaching staff shortage. After such research and experiment, the overall teaching effect is rather obvious and satisfactory, and most students are willing to participate in active learning. We sincerely hope that our research can provide some useful experience for further reform on practical teaching in vocational schools.
