Nurturing “Double-Qualified” Teachers in Vocational Colleges Using Campus Resources

Teachers are an important resource for the development of vocational education and a key force in supporting the reform of vocational education in the new era. Teachers who are capable of teaching theory and guiding students to do hands-on work are called “double-qualified” teachers. Building a high-level and professional double-qualified teacher team is one of the key tasks of vocational institutions. In this paper, we study the double-qualified teacher team from the perspective of using resources in schools. Firstly, the importance of the construction of double-qualified team is explained in terms of national policies and the findings of previous scholars. Secondly, we analyze the objective problem of teachers’ difficulty in learning in enterprises under the new epidemic. Thirdly, the idea of faculty construction based on on-campus resources is proposed. The relevant analysis is then launched from three dimensions: the construction of practical training base projects, school-enterprise research cooperation and skills competition participation. In view of the Covid-19 epidemic, it is necessary to make full use of the campus resources to enhance the practical ability of teachers in vocational institutions. Highly qualified and professional teachers are the important support for high-quality development of vocational institutions and should be highlighted among school leaders.
