Abstract

BackgroundAiming at the current situation of employment anxiety disorder of students in higher vocational colleges and universities, this study integrates the idea of integration of production and education into the ideological education of higher vocational colleges and universities, so as to optimize students’ employment anxiety.Subjects and MethodsIn a higher education setting, 100 students with employment anxiety disorder were chosen as study participants. The 100 participants in the study were randomly divided into two groups: the integrated teaching group and the standard teaching group. Civics education was combined with the integration of business and education for students in the integrated teaching group, while only Civics education was used for students in the traditional teaching group. A self-made employment anxiety scale was used to assess each student’s level of anxiety following a month of teacher training. Using SPSS23.0, all experimental data for this investigation were statistically evaluated.ResultsAfter one month of training, 32 students in the integrated group changed from severe to mild anxiety, and 18 were no longer anxious. In contrast, only five students in the traditional teaching group changed from severe to mild anxiety, while the others still had severe employment anxiety.ConclusionsIntegrating the idea of integration of production and education into the ideological education of higher vocational colleges and universities can effectively alleviate students’ employment anxiety.
