Japan's Core Concepts,Practical Strategies,and Lessons from the Integration of Vocational and General Education
Since the 1980s,Japan has been committed to breaking down the barriers that have long separated vocational and general education.After decades of exploration,Japan has developed two design strategies for the integration of vocational and general education based on its domestic education system:the lateral integration strategy and the vertical connection strategy.The lateral integration strategy mainly relies on the curriculum as the vehicle,with competence reshaping as the anchor point,through the in-depth integration of vocational and general education courses,ensuring that students in the general education system develop professional awareness,and students in the vocational education system master the knowledge and skills of general education.The vertical connection strategy uses educational elements as a medium to provide students with institutional guarantees for free conversion and connection between vocational and general education.Japan's success in eliminating barriers between vocational and general education has provided more opportunities for student development.Given the geographical proximity and similarities in educational systems and cultural traditions between China and Japan,Japan's successful experience in the integration of vocational and general education is of significance as a mirror for China.
