PBL-Based Vocational Education Blended Learning Activity Design Research

Abstract

There are disparities between vocational education personnel training and industrial development. The purpose of this research is to develop a PBL-based blended learning activity design aligned with vocational education talent training goals, leveraging the benefits of project-based and mixed learning approaches. The design encompasses problem clarification, goal determination, problem design, problem-solving, results display and evaluation, and summary activities. Employing a quasi-experimental research methodology, this study was conducted in the core course “Software Development Technology” within the software technology major of Vocational College X. Through comparative data analysis between the experimental and control groups, it was observed that students in the experimental group demonstrated varying degrees of improvement in their abilities related to demand analysis, software design, software development, and software testing in the field of software development technology. This finding affirms that PBL-based blended learning activities can effectively enhance students’ technical skills by extending learning opportunities in both space and time, thereby offering practical insights for vocational education talent training research.
