Abstract

At present, the phenomenon of weakening of labor education in higher vocational colleges still exists, which is prominently reflected in the lack of labor opportunities, lack of labor awareness, weak labor ability, short working hours, superficial labor cognition, and single form of labor education, leading to the phenomenon of students neglecting labor, rejecting labor, and not cherishing the results of labor, which is far from the requirements for the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical education, art, and labor. This project uses empirical research methods and takes students from higher vocational colleges in Guangdong as the research object to explore the connotation and status of labor education in the context of the new era, the main dilemmas faced and solutions. The project has obtained 1121 valid samples and 5 interview samples. After data analysis, the following conclusions are drawn: First, most students lack labor awareness and have not established correct labor values. (1) Half of the students have relatively short working hours; (2) More than half of the students believe that labor has a punitive meaning; (3) Some students are more utilitarian in labor; (4) Nearly half of the respondents have superficial work cognition; Second, the school’s labor teaching system is not comprehensive, and the curriculum is not smoothly launched. (1) The teaching method is dull and boring, and some schools do not combine theoretical education with practical education; (2) At present, there are problems such as single form of labor education in higher vocational education; (3) There is no clear teaching purpose. Based on data analysis and discussion, the project team made the following suggestions: The first is to improve the school’s labor curriculum system and increase the resource input of labor education; the second is to cultivate the emotional foundation of labor education; the third is to establish a sound labor education management system.
