Research on Path Reconstruction and Quality Improvement of Music Theory Courses in Higher Vocational Colleges from the Perspective of Skilled Talent Cultivation

Abstract

Within the context of enhancing applied talent cultivation in higher vocational education, the teaching effectiveness of music theory courses is crucial to the professional foundation and developmental potential of skilled talents. Currently, issues persist in these courses regarding misalignment with occupational competency requirements in areas such as objectives, content, and evaluation. From the perspective of skilled talent cultivation, this study systematically elucidates the supporting role and cognitive shaping value of music theory teaching in vocational skill development, analyzes its practical limitations in instructional coherence, integration of practice, and resource allocation, and subsequently proposes curriculum reform paths centered on competency objective restructuring, modular content innovation, integrated teaching implementation, and process-oriented evaluation mechanisms. The aim is to promote substantive improvement in course quality and effectively enhance students' professional competitiveness.
