Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), the demand for technically skilled talents is constantly increasing, and secondary vocational education is facing a transformation from “skill-oriented” to “innovation-oriented” education. Traditional vocational education in China often emphasizes technical skills over creative thinking, leading to insufficient innovation awareness and low learning motivation among students. From the perspective of AI empowerment, this study presents the significance and challenges of cultivating innovation ability among secondary vocational students. It proposes a “Four-Dimensional AI Empowerment Model” for innovation cultivation, con-sisting of an AI-based career planning system, an intelligent learning support platform, multi-skill integration courses, and an interest-driven practice mechanism. Together, these components form a “diagnosis–guidance–practice–evaluation” teaching cycle. The study finds that integrating AI into vocational education not only enables personalized and adaptive learning but also effectively enhances students’ creativity, motivation, and overall competence, providing new insights and a practice guide for the development of high-quality vocational education.
