The Role of Labor Education for Disadvantaged Students in Promoting Vocational Skill Development

Abstract

Disadvantaged students face numerous challenges in vocational education, particularly in skill development, often lacking necessary resources and opportunities. Labor education, as a practice-based educational form, plays a crucial role in promoting the vocational skills of disadvantaged students. This study starts by defining labor education, exploring its development, characteristics, and its intrinsic connection with vocational skill development. It provides an in-depth analysis of how labor education promotes the enhancement of vocational skills among disadvantaged students, particularly in constructing knowledge systems, cultivating practical abilities, and shaping professional qualities. Additionally, the article discusses the role of labor education in improving skill proficiency, fine-tuned abilities, and personalized skill adaptability. The findings indicate that labor education not only strengthens the basic vocational abilities of disadvantaged students but also promotes their overall development of comprehensive qualities. Finally, the article suggests directions for the future development of labor education in vocational skill training and calls for the education system to pay more attention to the personalized development and innovative capacity building of disadvantaged students.
