Abstract
School-based textbooks play a crucial role in the implementation of vocational college curricula, serving as vital tools for enriching curriculum construction, achieving teaching objectives, and fulfilling teaching tasks. However, despite their flexibility and adaptability, issues persist in the development and management of these textbooks within vocational colleges. This paper identifies key problems such as varying levels of institutional emphasis on textbook-related tasks, lax management in textbook development, and the absence of robust evaluation mechanisms for school-based textbooks. Furthermore, the lack of competitiveness in school-based textbooks is highlighted due to their failure to adequately address regional economic needs, their monotonous format, and their limited incorporation of industry elements. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a series of improvement measures. These include enhancing institutional attention to textbook management, establishing rigorous controls over textbook development, implementing comprehensive evaluation mechanisms, and ensuring that school-based textbooks align with the characteristics of vocational education. By adopting these measures, vocational colleges can enhance the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of their school-based textbooks, ultimately improving the overall teaching and learning experience.
