First, the background of the concept of "combination of hand and brain, combination of doing and learning"
1. The rise of vocational education in China was deeply influenced by the international environment and domestic economic situation at that time. At the beginning of World War I, the western powers were too busy fighting in Europe to look east, which won a short respite for the development of our national industry and commerce. However, the hasty national industry and commerce felt the shortage of applied talents.
2. Due to the influence of the school education system at that time, on the one hand, there was a shortage of available talents in enterprises, on the other hand, there was no way for graduates to find jobs. This harsh reality has prompted people of insight to start thinking, and it is necessary to combine the education department with the business department through the vocational education mode interspersed with study and practice to promote the development of the national economy.
Second, the connotation of the concept of "combination of hand and brain, combination of doing and learning"
"Combination of hands and brains, learning and doing" is a fundamental school-running principle established by Mr. Huang Yanpei for China Vocational Education Association, and it is also the core idea of his vocational education thought formed as the undisputed pioneer of modern vocational education in China.
Thirdly, the enlightenment of the concept of "combining hands and brains, combining learning with doing" to today's vocational education.
1. Strengthening teaching practicality is conducive to enhancing students' sense of responsibility. Influenced by various factors, modern students have lively thoughts and wide interests, but at the same time, they also have many bad tendencies, such as not having lofty ideals, evading responsibilities, and having strong self-awareness.
2. By strengthening practical teaching in the teaching process, students can get out of campus and get in touch with society. While feeling the spirit of diligence and thrift, unity and cooperation, and dedication to their posts, they often have a great touch on their outlook on life, which is conducive to helping them develop the excellent quality of "benefiting others and taking responsibility first".
3. Strengthen the practicality of teaching and urge students to turn knowledge into ability. Strengthening teaching practice urges students to transform knowledge into ability, expand their knowledge and realize the second leap of understanding. The knowledge learned from books can't be called your own correct knowledge without your own practical application. Through practice, students combine theoretical knowledge with actual production through specific operations in real environment.
