Abstract

In the context of "dual high," vocational colleges have evolved into a unique educational model that seamlessly integrates education and professionalism, reflecting the essential fusion of educational and vocational aspects. The dichotomy that traditionally separated education and vocational training has been surpassed, giving rise to a holistic educational approach where both dimensions complement each other. The conventional practice of isolating educational and vocational aspects within vocational education often led to the oversight of their inherent interconnectedness. It frequently resulted in the segregation of professional training processes and settings from broader societal and knowledge-based dimensions, emphasizing vocational education's distinctiveness while neglecting its fundamental educational character. This approach, although highlighting vocational education's specificity, overlooked its essential educational nature, inadvertently transforming vocational colleges into mere production lines for labor training [1].
