Constructing the behavioral aesthetics of vocational education; Vocational education aesthetics

After nine years of hard work, he once developed an ordinary secondary school into a famous flagship of vocational education with his lofty sentiments of changing course. His mind is full of economy, and his persistence in the better development of vocational education has spread the experience of Quzhou throughout the country. In the pursuit of vocational education, he wrote the immortal legend of the rise of vocational education region with unquestionable firmness and persistence. He is Weng Xiaochuan, deputy director of Quzhou Education Bureau and president of Quzhou Engineering and Technology School.

Weng Xiaochuan, who has several jobs, is busier! After several invitations, I was finally able to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him during the meeting. What this higher vocational teacher, who emphasizes "speaking for vocational education through various platforms", revealed in the conversation is really a profound reflection on the all-round development of vocational education.

High-profile action, low-key. Compared with the famous vocational education in Quzhou, Weng Xiaochuan, who participated in, cultivated and witnessed the rise of vocational education in Quzhou, seems to have intentionally faded out of people's field of vision. However, the tedious administrative affairs of education virtually revealed his inner exploration and struggle for Excellence in vocational education. More practical work and less empty talk, Weng Xiaochuan takes action as his ambition and performance as his blueprint, and constructs behavioral aesthetics in the field of vocational education.

Reflections on the all-round development of vocational education.

As the thoroughfare of the four provinces, the strategic position of Quzhou City is self-evident, and as the junction of the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, the Pearl River Delta Economic Zone and the Haixi Economic Zone, the times have given Quzhou a new development mission. However, in the face of advantages, Quzhou is embarrassed. As a relatively underdeveloped area in Zhejiang Province, the development task of Quzhou is particularly arduous. As a vocational educator, Weng Xiaochuan has a deeper understanding of this. "Vocational education is different from general education in terms of industry particularity and regional differences. All efforts of vocational educators ultimately point to local economic development and industrial transformation and upgrading. Therefore, we must pay close attention to political and economic development trends. " Based on the thinking of vocational education in economically underdeveloped areas, Weng Xiaochuan devoted almost all his time and energy.

Only when the government attaches importance to it can the policy be tilted. Bringing vocational education into the overall development plan of Quzhou City is a clear main line of vocational education development in Weng Xiaochuan's mind. From the new standpoint of the education administrative department, Weng Xiaochuan's thinking on vocational education is more cautious and comprehensive than when he was the principal of Quzhou Technical Secondary School. "Based on new industrialization, new urbanization and new rural construction, the four development priorities of commerce, tourism, logistics and vocational education should be incorporated into the overall framework of economic and social development." Weng Xiaochuan began to build a blueprint for the development of vocational education in Quzhou, including the special plan to build marginal vocational education and training centers in Quzhou four provinces and the long-term development plan of Quzhou education ... From the policy level, Quzhou vocational education began to usher in a new era.

Only macro-control can coordinate development. If policy support clears the external obstacles for the development of vocational education in Quzhou, it is the insistence of education to realize the ratio of general to vocational education 1: 1 for ten consecutive years. In the post-family planning era, the reduction of junior high school graduates has become a thorny issue that vocational education has to face. Why can Quzhou achieve the balanced development of general education and vocational education for ten years? "The Quzhou Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government have always stressed that vocational education should be promoted simultaneously with other education categories. From the beginning of the enrollment plan, the proportion of general education and vocational education should be strictly controlled at 1: 1, and even the enrollment of ordinary high schools should be reduced to ensure the students of secondary vocational schools. " Weng Xiaochuan frowned and made room for the development of vocational education by compressing the enrollment of ordinary high schools. Behind such an iron-fisted policy is a profound understanding of modern education and social and economic development.

Only by focusing on cohesion can integration be improved. In Weng Xiaochuan's view, general education can grasp the quality of further education behind closed doors, while vocational education closely related to the economy must be integrated with external factors. In order to maximize the enjoyment of resources and complement each other's advantages, Weng Xiaochuan urged Quzhou City to break the boundaries between departments and schools, concentrate on integrating high-quality educational resources, and twist the scattered educational forces into a rope. "The integration of Quzhou Engineering and Technology School in this context, the trinity of education, labor, transportation and other departments, and the joint running of schools are a new attempt in Zhejiang Province." Weng Xiaochuan, who is also the principal of Quzhou Engineering and Technology School, has a deep understanding of this. On the basis of combining the advantages of the department, Weng Xiaochuan began to adjust the professional structure for the purpose of coordinating the three major industries and developing the block economy. "Strengthen the main specialty, enlarge the emerging specialty, and transform the traditional specialty", vigorously support the construction of specialties such as numerical control technology application, machining technology, pulp and paper technology, bearing processing technology, etc., which are closely related to local economic development, and actively expand emerging specialties such as silicon electronics and photovoltaic technology, silicon materials, etc., so as to better match the professional setting with the industrial layout.

Only when the spirit is uplifted can vocational education be revitalized. "If there is no spirit of vocational education, nothing can be done well. Vocational educators should actively play their own abilities and contribute to social progress and industrial transformation. " This is the educational concept that Weng Xiaochuan often instills in teachers. "First of all, we must love vocational education, so that we can make a difference on the basis of understanding and make our vocational education full of vitality." Weng Xiaochuan not only asks himself to understand the function and status of vocational education, but also wants to become a full-fledged vocational trainer, give lectures to teachers and cultivate teachers' professional pride and sense of mission. "Cheng Cheng" three steps and two steps upstairs, capable style of doing things affects people around; Starting with rectifying teachers' spirit, teachers and students' self-confidence and pride were awakened by various large-scale activities, which changed the mental outlook of Quzhou vocational education in one fell swoop.

Because I firmly believe that as long as we do it in a down-to-earth manner, local governments and society will definitely feel the importance of vocational education, and vocational education will definitely change the face of "poverty and weakness". Weng Xiaochuan, who joked that vocational education should be "active", really put more energy into the word "doing". With Quzhou Technical Secondary School as the leader, the development of vocational education in Quzhou City began to emerge in the field of secondary vocational education in China, and gradually became the benchmark and model for the development of secondary vocational education in Zhejiang Province and even the whole country.

Entering the industry, an innovative move of school-enterprise cooperation

To run vocational education well, it is far from enough to rely on the strength of schools. "School-enterprise cooperation is the only way to run vocational education well." The reason why Weng Xiaochuan is so serious about school-enterprise cooperation is probably related to his personal experience in the past ten years. "In the past, school-enterprise cooperation was always wishful thinking of schools, and enterprises were half-hearted. In recent years, the enthusiasm of enterprises has improved slightly, but school-enterprise cooperation has not been done as something to be done within the enterprise. " In view of this situation, Weng Xiaochuan couldn't sit still again. "Vocational education must be expanded to the scope of the big society, mobilize all social resources and social forces, and jointly do a good job in vocational education."

It is Weng Xiaochuan's bold attempt to bring schools into the market and industry organizations and develop vocational education by using market rules. Under the guidance of this idea, he advocated the establishment of the first school-enterprise cooperation association led by local administrative departments in China. Under his initiative, 23 vocational colleges and 109 large and medium-sized enterprises in Quzhou City were all included in Quzhou School-Enterprise Cooperation Association, realizing the interest alliance between the school and the enterprise member units.

"The school-enterprise cooperation association has been very active since its establishment. Whether it is a school or a company, everyone's enthusiasm for participation is quite high. " If the school-enterprise cooperation in the past was a one-way development of vocational schools, the cooperation mode led by Weng Xiaochuan tried to establish a truly interactive, win-win and conscious interest relationship. He advocates joining various enterprises and industry associations in various forms, such as post status and school groups, and actively participating in industry activities: establishing a database of social skilled craftsmen and outstanding graduates, coordinating the supply and demand of skilled talents, exploring the cultivation of practical talents, testing the operation of enterprise talent capital, promoting the growth of dual-qualified teachers, participating in the formulation of industry standards, and cooperating with the development of professional courses ... Even in the research and development of new products and new processes, talents are guaranteed. It is in this atmosphere that Quzhou School-Enterprise Cooperation Association has attracted great attention from the government and universities, and more and more enterprises have expressed their hope to join this team.

Of course, Weng Xiaochuan is not only satisfied with the expansion of the school-enterprise cooperation association, he has always encouraged vocational school teachers to participate in some industry activities as much as possible, using various associations, trainings and forums as platforms to show the elegance of vocational education and improve teachers' professional level. "We should not only encourage participation, but also encourage them to strive for the right to speak in activities and strive to become the backbone of training courses or industry associations". In Weng Xiaochuan's view, only by actively integrating into enterprises and industries can teachers understand industry trends, improve their skills, quality and cognition, and remain divorced from reality in cultivating students' behavior.

Service feedback, the thrust of vocational education to promote social development.

I firmly believe that vocational education can provide great energy for social development. Weng Xiaochuan is an idealist and a doer. He has always stressed that vocational educators should give full play to their abilities and fulfill the functions and responsibilities of vocational education in serving the society. "Talents have a place to live, and vocational education should play a leading role in local economic development. The development of vocational education can't wait, rely on or be necessary. It is necessary to make achievements so that local governments can consciously attach importance to the development of vocational education and realize that grasping vocational education means grasping economic construction. " This is Weng Xiaochuan's consistent behavioral aesthetics, and it is also the source of power that he is always ready to contribute to social development. There is no gorgeous packaging, no passionate cry, he just leads his team to do everything well, low-key and simple.

Social training is fully covered, training is included in the vocational education system other than academic education, and "walking on two legs" is adhered to ... Weng Xiaochuan's pace of serving the society has never stopped. Adhering to the concept that vocational education should serve local economic development, Weng Xiaochuan solidly promoted various educational services. "Quality poverty alleviation is the most dazzling content."

When the whole country began to pay attention to the transfer project of rural surplus labor force, Weng Xiaochuan, then principal of Quzhou Technical Secondary School, had taken a real step in farmer training. In order to improve the enthusiasm and effectiveness of farmers to participate in training and transfer to get rich, Weng Xiaochuan brought the teachers and equipment used for farmers' training to the door of farmers' homes, and even pioneered the rural education voucher system, which was distributed to farmers free of charge. After sending the training to the door, Weng Xiaochuan thought about what the government thought and what the farmers were anxious about, and consciously assumed the mission of serving the people's livelihood. As an important part of the new rural construction in Quzhou, the quality poverty alleviation work has been commended by the State Council for many times. The the State Council Poverty Alleviation Office even hung the brand of the first rural labor quality poverty alleviation demonstration base on the honorary wall of Quzhou Technical Secondary School.

Taking building vocational education and training centers on the edge of four provinces as his own responsibility, Weng Xiaochuan led Quzhou Technical Secondary School to join the Haixi Economic Zone Forum actively to understand the ideas, measures and processes of revitalizing the Haixi Economic Zone in order to better grasp the industrial layout, enterprise development and talent demand and serve the economic development of Quzhou and the whole region. Not only that, Weng Xiaochuan's "Zhejiang Shanhai Cooperation Project Site Meeting" held in Quzhou Technical Secondary School is also a stroke of genius, which seems to have nothing to do with vocational education. In response to the call of the municipal government to "take investment promotion as the No.1 project", Quzhou Technical Secondary School took the initiative to join hands with enterprises to attract investment and intervened in advance, and made outstanding achievements beyond the educational function in the "Mountain-Sea Cooperation" project, which became a "golden business card" for attracting investment. The school was also awarded the first prize of advanced collective in the series of activities of mountain-sea cooperation project by Quzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government.

In the face of honor, Weng Xiaochuan did not stop his ambition to feed back the society. In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, relief tents were in a hurry. Several tent enterprises in Quzhou received the task of sewing 654.38+10,000 tents and transporting them to the disaster area within a time limit, which made the production of smaller tent enterprises at that time tense, and the enterprises turned to the school for help. Weng Xiaochuan immediately organized an earthquake relief special service team of nearly 100 students to enter the enterprise for emergency support. No pay, overtime, three meals a day in the workplace. The children's love and passion infected the employees of the enterprise. With the concerted efforts of Qi Xin, Quzhou completed this task ten days ahead of schedule. Because of its outstanding performance, Quzhou Technical Secondary School was awarded the Special Contribution Award for Earthquake Relief by Quzhou Red Cross Society. Vocational education should actively connect with industrial development and social progress, and have a technical team that can be pulled out. Weng Xiaochuan proved that he has such a strong team of teachers and students with practical actions.

"What forces support your unremitting efforts in vocational education?"

"Vocational education has space and vitality. I like it! "

A simple "like", Weng Xiaochuan included all his feelings about vocational education in these two words, trying his best to create stories, trying his best to leave stories and trying his best to pass them on. Weng Xiaochuan practises his ideal of vocational education in a down-to-earth way, and constantly injects new connotation into Quzhou vocational education paradigm with practical actions.

After the interview, I watched him leave in a hurry. Oh, this is another journey.
