Resilience as an Anchor: Constructing a Breakthrough Model for Triple Dilemmas Faced by Higher Vocational Students

Based on the fact that for students in higher vocational colleges, learning motivation is not strong, career planning is confused, and the psychological adaptability is low, taking into account the three difficult problems existing in students in higher vocational colleges, this paper successfully combines Social Cognitive Career Theory with psychology and resilience theory to propose the Resilience-Anchored Goal Cycle(RAG-Cycle) framework through innovation. This model, from simple resilience exercises, adopts a closed loop of “simple resilience implementation - mini-goal formulation - phase successful experience - intrinsic motivation upgrade” and thus gradually cultivate psychological security among learners and initial self efficacy on learning, and thus learning motivation and psychological resilience can be simultaneously enhanced. This study does not only provide a novel theoretical view for explaining developmental challenges of vocational college students, but also gives practical teaching implement pathways for teachers to assist student’s development of coping for challenging situations.
