Innovative Research on Talent Cultivation Mode under the Synergy of Curriculum-Certification-Competition Integration and Project-Based Learning
|
Abstract:
As blockchain technology continues to advance, the demand for high-quality blockchain application talents has soared. However, Chinese vocational colleges rarely offer blockchain majors, and traditional training models are inadequate due to outdated curricula, insufficient practical skills training, and a misalignment with industry needs. To address this issue, our study proposes a collaborative talent training model that integrates “Course-Certification-Competition” with Project-Based Learning (PBL), using blockchain technology applications as an illustrative example. Despite the absence of a dedicated blockchain major, this model establishes a diversified talent cultivation system by incorporating extracurricular self-study, vocational exams, and competitions through PBL. It aims to cultivate talents with robust theoretical foundations, practical skills, and innovative spirits. Through a literature review and investigative research, we have clarified the theoretical and practical value of this model, establishing a competency-oriented system that enhances students’ practical abilities and innovative awareness. Real-world, project-based tasks encourage students to improve their problem-solving skills through teamwork and exploration. The research demonstrates significant improvements in learning interest, practical abilities, and professional qualities, meeting enterprise needs and fostering industry-academia-research integration.
