Abstract:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the career planning needs, knowledge, and technical skills of Chinese vocational students, with the aim of identifying the relationships among the three. By examining the interrelationships and mutual influences among the three, the focus of school education can be identified, and based on this, vocational education teaching plans and programs can be optimized. In this study, questionnaire survey and data analysis methods were used, with a total of 434 Chinese vocational education students participating in the survey, covering majors such as computer science, economics and trade, and machinery. In the end, 434 questionnaires were received, and all relevant questionnaires were carefully screened and processed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. In the data analysis stage, Adopted various statistical methods to comprehensively analyze the data. This includes descriptive statistics, factor analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Through these analyses, we can gain a deeper understanding of the inherent connections between career planning needs, knowledge, and technical skills. The results show a significant correlation between career planning needs, knowledge, and technical skills. Specifically, there is a positive correlation between career planning needs and technical skills, which means that the higher the career planning needs of students, the higher their level of technical skills. In addition, there is a positive correlation between career planning needs and knowledge level, indicating that the higher the career planning needs of students, the higher their knowledge level accordingly. Further analysis indicates that knowledge level has a certain impact on technical skills, but this effect is not significant. This reminds us that in vocational education, although knowledge transfer and technical skill development are both important, targeted teaching may be necessary according to the career planning needs of students. Based on the above analysis, the inspiration of this study for school education is that schools should pay more attention to students’ career planning needs and provide personalized teaching according to their needs. At the same time, schools also need to seek a balance between imparting knowledge and cultivating technical skills to meet the comprehensive development needs of students. In summary, this study delved into the relationship between the career planning needs, knowledge, and technical skills of Chinese vocational students through questionnaire surveys and data analysis methods. The research results provide valuable references for school education and help optimize teaching plans and programs in vocational education.
