Abstract

China's vocational education strives to enhance its curriculum quality and optimize its structure to cultivate innovative talents. However, traditional approaches focus more on problem-solving than developing user-centered solutions, which may hinder innovation. This study explores the application of design thinking as the primary approach to improving the talent training model and curriculum structure in China's vocational education. Design thinking is considered to foster the development of innovative skills through a more solution-focused and user-centric approach. The study involved 46 participants at Shaoguan Technician College, Guangzhou Province, China. Participants participated in an experimental course designed to cultivate their design thinking abilities. The diary method was employed to track and record the learning process of the participants, allowing the researchers better to understand the impact of design thinking on their development. The findings show that the implementation of design thinking positively impacts the reform of the vocational education curriculum system. The new curriculum model based on design thinking significantly stimulated the participants' enthusiasm for learning. Moreover, participants improved their innovation, creativity, observation, and teamwork skills throughout the learning process. The vocational institutions in China adopt design thinking in their curricula. This is crucial for fostering talents adept at solving problems and innovating in response to real-world challenges.

Abstract

The stone carvings of the Southern Dynasties are outstanding representatives of ancient Chinese sculpture art. This study takes the Southern Dynasties stone carvings as an example to explore the feasibility of integrating cultural heritage into the field of children's education. The research focuses on the cognitive development characteristics of children, and designs a teaching practice activity that integrates field visits to cultural heritage, interactive experiences of digital products, handmade cultural and creative products, and storytelling of cultural heritage. A comparative experiment is conducted on students from a primary school in Nanjing. Through comparative analysis of data such as questionnaire surveys, interview observations, and test scores, it was found that integrating cultural heritage into children's education can not only significantly improve students' mastery of cultural heritage knowledge, but also effectively stimulate their enthusiasm for self-directed learning and active exploration. The experimental results have verified the positive role of integrating cultural heritage into children's education, providing a novel implementation path for the reform and innovation of children's education.
