Abstract

Huang Yanpei's vocational education philosophy centers on social adaptability, providing theoretical support for contemporary vocational education reform. Addressing current challenges in Shaanxi's vocational education-including insufficient exploration of regional culture, unclear industry alignment pathways, and slow digital transformation-this study constructs a three-dimensional collaborative model of "Culture-Industry-Technology" based on Huang Yanpei's ideas to explore localized application pathways. Cultural Dimension: Tracing the spiritual genes of Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang dynasties-such as the "system of craftsmen" and "engraving craftsmen's names on artifacts"-alongside revolutionary legacies like the Yan'an Spirit and the Westward Relocation Spirit, this dimension bridges traditional craftsmanship with modern vocational competencies. In the industrial dimension, it reconstructs a three-stage integrated training system tailored to the needs of distinctive industries like energy chemicals, modern agriculture, and new energy vehicles, addressing inefficiencies in industry-education collaboration. In the technological dimension, it leverages VR, digital twins, and big data to empower blended virtual-physical teaching, transforming instructional spaces from physical boundaries to symbiotic virtual-physical environments, and shifting practical logic from skill imitation to innovation iteration.
