The Contemporary Connotations and the Practical Framework for the Integration of Vocational Education and General Education:An Analysis Based on the Evolution of Technologies and the Relationships Between Occupations
According to the report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,the integration of vocational education and general education has been upgraded to one of China's major projects for the educational reform.To achieve the integration,we need to first define its nature,and the key difference is whether it is a means or an end.The key factor affecting the establishment of the educational system is human technology,which has an impact on the relationship between occupations and then between different types of education.The development of technology experienced three stages:artisanal technology,mechanical technology,and artificial intelligence(AI)technology.AI technology has changed the relationship between different occupations from a hierarchical relationship to a flat,network-based and integrated relationship,and the integration of vocational education and general education has become a basic trend in the development of the current educational system.At present,China's educational system was established in the era of mechanical technology.As the economic society has entered the era of intelligence,the integration of vocational education and general education has become an unavoidable major issue in the educational system reform.It is a long-term goal to reach an ideal state of the integration,and the current goal of the reform needs to be more realistic.The educational system reform in the integration should be based on the positioning of vocational education.We need to establish a multi-level integration system and focus on further education-natured and selective vocational education.The practice-based framework for the integration can be designed according to the mutually-established curriculums,school integration(the integration of vocational schools and general schools),and the integration of academic systems.These strategies are progressive in their complexity,but the reform practice can start any of them.
