LTD.10.18063/CEF.v4i4.1882ArticleExploring the Value and Pathways of Enterprise Practice for Higher Vocational Teachers under the Reform of Key Elements in Vocational Education Teachinghttps://artdesignp.com/journal/CEF/4/4/10.18063/CEF.v4i4.1882ZhaoYan,ZhangGaoliang2026442026-04-26The reform of key elements in vocational education teaching is a critical pathway for the transformation of vocational education. Enterprise practice for higher vocational teachers serves as a vehicle to activate teaching resources and strengthen the construction of the “dual-qualified” teacher workforce. Grounded in the reform of key areas such as textbooks, practical training, and teaching methods, this paper deeply analyzes the driving role of teachers’ enterprise practice in the development of teaching resources, the enhancement of teaching capabilities, and the alignment of school-enterprise education. Confronting practical obstacles, such as cognitive biases in practice, inadequate management systems, and misaligned practice content, this paper seeks improvement approaches from perspectives including ideology, institutional processes, content systems, school-enterprise platforms, and assessment mechanisms. It aims to provide value support for higher vocational colleges to standardize teacher enterprise practice, promote industry-education integration, and advance high-quality vocational education development.Higher vocational teachers, Enterprise practice, Reform of key teaching elements, Industry-education integration
