An Analysis of the Growth Patterns and Cultivation Pathways for Innovative Talents in Agriculture-Related Majors at Higher Vocational Colleges

Abstract

The cultivation of agriculture-related talents in higher vocational colleges, transforming from skill based form to innovation-based one, is helpful to promote the revitalization of rural areas. This paper puts forward he growth law for such talents, which is rooted with sentiment—“fermented” with knowledge—honed through practice—catalyzed through synergy. However, there are some predicaments, including narrow training objectives are, rigid curriculum systems, formulaic practical teaching, and shallow integration of industry and education, which are discussed in this paper. “The new agricultural talents” who are willing to go to the countryside, capable in practice, retainable, and innovative are cultivated through systematic training path, such as reconstructing course systems, building practical platforms, deepening the collaborative education mechanism, and cultivating cultural ecosystems.
