1. From "Literacy" to "Core Literacy"
"Literacy" and "core literacy" originated in the field of vocational education and training or human resource management in industrial society, and are the products of the transformation and development of social productivity and social production mode in the era of knowledge economy. It is related to the demand of the labor market and the specific knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to engage in a certain occupation, but it has been gradually applied to education since the 1990s.
Specifically, "ability" can be regarded as the predecessor of "literacy", which is a kind of "ability" developed to meet the needs of the era of knowledge economy and the future development of individuals and society, so literacy-based education has gradually become an inevitable product of social development.
Representative views are as follows: literacy is success literacy, which refers to the comprehensive expression of knowledge, emotion, skills and experience, attitude and values that people need to succeed; Understanding of literacy should be combined with a specific situation. The ability, technical knowledge, technical experience and social cognition covered by any literacy are all reflections of the situation, reflecting the performance of people in a certain situation, and this performance can extend the existing and newly acquired knowledge and ability to the new situation.
Therefore, literacy has stability and mobility. Similar to this view, some scholars believe that literacy is the comprehensive ability of cognition, skills, psychological feelings and values embodied in the process of meeting established needs or achieving a certain goal, and it is also manifested as adaptability and adaptability in specific situations. It can be seen that literacy is the result of individual participation in social interaction, and literacy, as an individual trait, is bound to be sticky with the needs of specific situations, fields and social development.
The knowledge, skills, emotions, attitudes and values contained in individual literacy will inevitably play a role in related fields and promote individual development, which is the result of the collision and integration of individual learning experience and social experience, and has internal stability and external sociality and development. Literacy has both internal and external attributes.
Its intrinsic attribute points to people's emotional attitude and values, as well as to cognition, thinking mode and behavior mode; Its external attributes point to the behavioral performance, emotional performance and moral performance of knowledge, skills and abilities.
2. From "Core Literacy of Discipline" to "Core Literacy of Ideological and Political Discipline in Secondary Vocational Schools"
Literacy is comprehensive and multifaceted, and core literacy refers to important knowledge, skills, emotions, attitudes, values, external behaviors, emotional expressions and moral expressions in specific fields.
The core literacy in the field of education is the unity of the teaching content as the object and the learners' key abilities as the subject, and it is the core literacy in the sense of discipline. That is to say, on the educational level, core literacy should be transformed into specific discipline core literacy, which is the image expression and implementation of core literacy in specific disciplines.
