Research on innovative teaching to enhance the employability of college students based on the “five Links and Six steps” method

Abstract

A talent training model takes occupation as its guiding principle, the enhancement of students’ competitive ability with respect to employment as goal, and market demand as its operating platform. A six-step teaching method, including consultation, planning, decision-making, implementation, inspection and evaluation, was integrated into the practical ability training system, which consists of five steps: basic skills training, professional skills training, comprehensive skills training, comprehensive productive skills training and postjob practice. Combinations of study work and theory with practice were developed to improve college students' comprehensive vocational skills. Analytical research was conducted to investigate students' vocational skill scores using the Markov chain model, and the analysis and evaluation results of the teaching effects of the new and old teaching models were obtained. The research results showed that this method achieved good results and that the students’ mastery of basic knowledge, basic skills, professional skills, comprehensive skills and comprehensive productive skills improved. © 2024 THE AUTHORS
