Abstract

Labor education plays a significant role in enhancing students’ practical operational capabilities and teamwork competencies. However, current labor education in higher education institutions in China faces dual practical dilemmas: on the one hand, some students hold cognitive biases towards the value of labor education and have not fully recognized its educational significance; on the other hand, the curriculum system has shortcomings, as teaching design tends to focus on theoretical indoctrination, which is disconnected from practical needs and fails to effectively stimulate students’ participation enthusiasm. This study takes college students enrolled in higher education institutions in China as research objects, systematically collects data through online questionnaires, and focuses on analyzing their cognitive status, practical participation characteristics, and existing needs regarding labor education. Combined with the background of the digital and intelligent era, the research aims to explore innovative models of technology-enhanced labor education, providing references for universities to optimize the labor education curriculum system, improve practical paths, and deepen educational reforms.
