Reform and Practice of the Core Curriculum of Civil Engineering and Architecture Based on the “1+X” System

The “1+X” system has a great impact on the development of vocational education. Based on this system, it is imperative to carry out the reform and practice of the core curriculum of Civil Engineering and Architecture. Several vocational colleges have made attempts in the reform and practice of the curriculum, but the effect is not ideal. Under the influence of various factors, such as the lack of experience, there are also several problems in the reform and practice of the curriculum. Among them, the most apparent problems are as follows: the curriculum reform is not synchronized with the development of teaching materials, the pertinence of practical teaching is lacking, and the guidance provided for professional certificate examinations is not well-established. This paper specifically analyzes the problems existing in the reform and practice of the core curriculum of Civil Engineering and Architecture under the “1+X” system, and then puts forward effective strategies for these problems.

The Employability and Career Development of Finance and Trade College Graduates

Employability is a vital aspect for human development in career fields. In order to explore the factors affecting the employability of finance and trade graduates in higher vocational colleges, the researchers focused on human development in educational settings and conducted a piece of quantitative research within nine higher vocational colleges. The study uses descriptive statistical analysis to demonstrate the sample structure, using t-test, rank sum test, and chi-square test to assess the variables. It also adopts exploratory factor analysis to identify the classification of both educational practice and employability. Then, a multivariable linear regression model was adopted to examine the relationships between three main factors as well as the employability and career development of finance and trade graduates. The findings imply that the soft skills and basic skills of finance and trade college graduates have immensely improved through educational practice; graduates with high motivation for learning could enhance their soft skills and more internships or club engagement brings stronger professional skills. Based on these results, higher vocational colleges, enterprises, policymakers, teachers, and finance and trade graduates will benefit from the findings related to the reform of educational practice for strengthening graduate employability and human development. The originality of this paper is the conceptual evolution of finance and trade college graduate employability, as well as the empirical analysis on educational practice, student engagement, and family background affecting their human development.

Research on Training Base’s Expansion of Scientific Popularization Function in Higher Vocational Colleges

Based on the needs of regional industrial development and technical personnel training, the training base for technical skill as the core function has effectively enhanced the development of vocational education. However, at present, the training base in vocational colleges is mainly applied for students’ teaching, and the overall utilization rate is low. It is of great importance in the rational application of software and hardware resources onto the training base to widely carry out popular science activities. The importance of training base construction and scientific popularization is expounded. On this basis, the research team took the S&T racing training base as a case to study its expandable scientific popularization function. The practice results show that using the resources of the training base to carry out scientific popularization activities can greatly improve teenagers’ interest in automobile technology. More training bases in vocational colleges should expand the function of scientific popularization.
