A Study for the Curriculum and Subject Construction in Vocational High School

通过对全国职业高中(农、工、商)课程设置中存在的问题进行问卷调查，得出如下结论：职业教育课程设置具有课程体系顺应学生个人意愿、开设多门选修课、学科学分增加、获得多项职业资格等特点。然而，另一方面，也承认了许多问题。这些问题是由于选择科目的扩大、教师负担的增加、设施设备的幸运、职业教育目标的难以实现、学生的学习意愿下降等原因造成的教育内容的碎片化。人们承认，普通科目(主要是学术科目)的学习对于职业高中的职业教育来说，为了获得一些文化和学习一些特殊的学科，是必不可少的。然而，对于基础学术能力不足的职业高中学生来说，理解与普通高中相同的普通科目(主要是数学和英语)太难了。因此，有必要对职业高中通识教育内容和学科建设进行重新审视。

However, on the other hand, many problems were admitted. These problem were fragmentation of educational contents due to the expansion of selective subjects, increase in the burden od teachers, the luck of facilities and equipment, difficulty in achievement of the aim in vocational education, decline in learning will of students, and the others.It was admitted that the learning of general subjects (mainly academic subjects) were essential for vocational education in vocational high schools in order to acquire some culture and learn some special subjects.
