Features: This book appends more than twenty insightful articles on this topic. On the one hand, it aims to call for more attention to the innovative development of vocational education; on the other hand, it serves as a stepping stone, hoping to encourage more peers to participate in theoretical research and educational practices on such issues. The book collects advanced theories, rich practices, profound reflections, and sparks of collision from professional researchers, school administrators, and frontline teachers. It also draws on the essence of some master's theses from the Institute of Vocational Education and Adult Education at East China Normal University. As one of the series on modern vocational education research, this book conducts research centered on problems, breaks through traditional research paradigms in vocational education, stays close to the practice of vocational education in China, and strives to avoid "scholarly" research. It fully utilizes the latest domestic and international literature on vocational education, showcasing the forefront of academic development in vocational education, covering major issue domains such as the fundamental principles of vocational education, vocational education curriculum and teaching, vocational education psychology, the history of vocational education in China and abroad, comparative vocational education, and career development. This book can serve as a reference for academic research in vocational education, a textbook for master's students in vocational and technical education, and a training material for various vocational education teachers and administrators.
