The Path Selection of Integrating Chinese Traditional Integrity Culture into Integrity Education of Vocational Undergraduate Students

Abstract

Traditional Chinese integrity culture embodies core principles of "self-discipline, public service, people-oriented governance, and prudence in solitude and minor matters," serving as a valuable cultural resource for integrity education in vocational undergraduate programs. As a key platform for cultivating high-level technical professionals, vocational education prepares graduates for roles in enterprise management, technical supervision, and grassroots services. Early implementation of integrity education plays a vital role in preventing occupational corruption and fostering professional ethics. However, current integrity education in vocational undergraduate programs faces challenges such as fragmented content, monotonous formats, and disconnection from professional contexts, which hinder the full realization of traditional integrity culture's educational value. This paper explores the core tenets of Chinese integrity culture, identifies its alignment with integrity education in vocational undergraduate programs, analyzes existing educational challenges, and proposes concrete integration strategies through three dimensions: curriculum system development, practical scenario design, and cultural atmosphere cultivation. The findings provide theoretical references and practical solutions for vocational colleges to enhance the effectiveness of integrity education and cultivate technically skilled professionals with moral integrity.
