Exploration of the Integrated Education Model of ‘Post, Curriculum, Competition, Certificate, Research, and Innovation’ in Higher Vocational Colleges: A Case Study of Landscape Architecture

This paper deeply explores the integrated education model of “Post, Curriculum, Competition, Certificate, Research, and Innovation” in higher vocational colleges, addressing the current issue of disconnection between talent cultivation and industry needs in vocational education, particularly in practice-intensive professional fields such as landscape architecture. Taking landscape architecture as a case study, the research systematically analyzes the shortcomings of traditional teaching models and innovatively proposes a six-dimensional collaborative education mechanism centered on job competency, based on curriculum systems, driven by competitions and certificates, and extended through scientific research and innovation entrepreneurship. Through strategies such as reconstructing curriculum systems, implementing project-based teaching, building multi-dimensional evaluation systems, and deepening school-enterprise cooperation, it effectively achieves precise alignment between talent cultivation and industry demands. Practical cases verify the significant effectiveness of this model in enhancing students’ professional skills, innovative capabilities, and vocational literacy, providing valuable experience for the reform of higher vocational education.
