1. It has the basis of adaptation, survival and development in a rapidly changing environment.
Because the vocational post system in modern society is a dynamic large-scale system that constantly improves the technical level, social personnel must have the ability to adapt to their needs. The theme working document of the second international conference on technical and vocational education held by UNESCO from 65438 to 0999 pointed out that "the requirements for people's quality are changing, not only the improvement of knowledge and skills, but also the ability to adapt, survive and develop." "The core of 2 1 century competition is to create a productive and flexible labor force."
In the survey report in Shanghai, it is also clearly stated: "Both enterprises and higher vocational graduates think that they lack theoretical basis, have a low level of foreign languages and lack the stamina for further development during their studies at school." Because today, with the rapid development of technology, the update of technology often means a brand-new technical field, rather than an improvement on the original basis. For example, "Hua Yao Pilkington's second production line is completely different from the first technology; Volkswagen's third production line (Passat sedan) also uses key technologies that have never been used in the first two production lines. "
The National Vocational Education Research Center (NCRVE) of the United States wrote "Proposal on the Legislative Principles of Livelihood Education and Training" for the new federal legislation: "The goal of livelihood-related education should make students prepare for employment after completing high school or post-high school education, and at the same time gain the foundation for continuing their studies at work." Therefore, it is very necessary to give technical talents a basis for continuous learning.
2. Have comprehensive technical ability to solve practical problems.
In today's era, the comprehensive characteristics of technological development are bound to be reflected in the process of technological application. The first is the improvement of the degree of integration of technical talents. For example, the technicians of Shanghai Volkswagen's new Passat automatic welding production line should not only have the professional knowledge of automobile welding and be familiar with the performance of automatic welding robots, but also have certain quality control ability, that is, the ability of technicians involves not only welding technology and computer control technology, but also logistics and quality control. The cultivation of single professional technical ability can no longer meet the needs of such production lines. At the same time, after China's entry into WTO, technical production is required to be in line with international standards, so computer application ability, foreign language expression ability and word processing ability are all necessary abilities.
It can be seen that in the study of theoretical knowledge, technical talents should, on the one hand, strengthen the study of basic theoretical knowledge and professional knowledge necessary for the formation of technical application ability, especially the mastery of basic theoretical knowledge of core competence; On the other hand, it is necessary to master new knowledge in some related fields and form a wide range of professional knowledge; At the same time, we should also understand the relevant laws and regulations, especially the study of international common practices, and have certain management knowledge, economic benefit awareness and cost accounting knowledge.
3. Strengthen the cultivation of innovative spirit and pioneering ability.
Technical talents also need innovative spirit and pioneering ability. The innovation of technological process, the creation of processing methods and the change of management form all need this kind of professional quality. The difference between them and engineering talents and academic talents is that technical talents embody this quality in the field of technology application, while the latter two talents embody this quality in the field of engineering and academic. It is at least incomplete to understand technical talents as absolute executive talents.
Today, with the deepening and complexity of technological development, it is necessary to emphasize the quality of technical talents. When investigating Shanghai Belling Company, the technical manager said, "There are many factors that affect the quality of integrated circuits. Once there is a quality problem, a set of procedures and methods must be created to detect the main factors. " The title of a doctoral thesis of Northwestern Polytechnical University is to put forward the technology and testing mode to ensure the processing quality of a micron-level high-precision aviation part in mass production.
Production practice shows that technical talents must have innovative and pioneering qualities in order to fully perform their duties. After China's entry into WTO, international competition is bound to be fierce, and the competition of technological innovation is the core of future competition. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen the cultivation of innovative spirit and entrepreneurial ability of technical talents.
