Basic Meaning and Practical Direction of the Action Theory of Vocational Education Teaching
As an important teaching concept of vocational education,action orientation plays a key guiding role in its teaching practice.Grounded in the core concept and fundamental stance of action ori-entation,the action theory in vocational education teaching clarifies the distinctive characteristics of vo-cational education and serves as a foundational principle for vocational education teaching reform.This theory posits that the primary goal of vocational education is to cultivate students'vocational action competence,where the essence of teaching is action,and the teaching process follows the"task-action"paradigm to accomplish work tasks.The action theory of vocational education teaching is characterized by its inherent qualities of practicality,generativity,relevance,and completeness.It also offers new in-terpretations of teaching cognition,teaching relationships,teaching functions,and teaching knowledge in vocational education,focusing on the integration of"knowing and caring actions,"the three-dimen-sional network of integration and symbiosis,the inheritance of abilities through complete actions,and the legitimacy of knowledge derived from work processes.These insights contribute to the typological orientation and practical transformation of vocational education teaching theory.
