Abstract

Military vocational education undertakes the core task of cultivating skilled military personnel for troops and supporting the generation of combat effectiveness, which is essentially different from general vocational education serving the market economy. Specialty setting, as the core carrier of talent cultivation, directly determines the post adaptability quality and actual combat capability of military personnel. At present, in the process of standardized schooling, some military vocational institutions copy the construction model of general vocational institutions, which leads to problems such as the market-oriented construction of specialties, insufficient actual combat orientation, and disconnection from troop post requirements, thus restricting the quality and effectiveness of education for war. This paper compares in detail the core differences in specialty setting between military and general vocational institutions. Based on the practical problems existing in the specialty construction of some military vocational education institutions, such as serious homogenization, insufficient battlefield adaptability, lagging specialty iteration, and shallow integration of combat and education, and in combination with the core requirements of education for war, this paper, from the five dimensions of construction orientation, specialty layout, curriculum system, talent cultivation mode, and evaluation standards, systematically studies the adaptive setting of specialties in military vocational education institutions. It specifically proposes practical paths for optimizing the specialty system, promoting actual combat reform, and building a dynamic adaptation mechanism in military vocational institutions, so as to construct an exclusive specialty development model that is different from local vocational education and closely fits troop combat needs. This study provides practical reference for military vocational institutions to build a first-class professional and combat-oriented specialty system and improve the quality of military personnel training.
