Abstract:

The combination of education and production is an important part of China’s education policy. After 70 years, since the founding of New China, China’s labor education policy has made great progress. Based on the perspective of policy transfer, China’s labor education has gone through five stages which are borrowing from the Soviet Union, exploring own path, thoroughly de-westernization, exploring China’s model, and forming a new era value system. And China’s labor education has also shifted gradually from “instrumental rationality” to “value rationality”. In the future, we should take the integration of five domains of education as a departure point to explore a new path of labor education, along with taking labor education as the key to break the barriers of examination oriented education and deeply promoting the improvement of students’ core literacy and ability, so as to promote moral education; improving the labor education’s curriculum system, and promoting students’ mastery of other subjects by labor education, so as to increase intellectual development; based on the actual needs, establishing a “four-in-one” labor education system for the government, society, family, and school to implement a collaborative innovation system, and enabling workers to obtain self-confirmation in a unified work with purposefulness and regularity so as to cultivating aesthetic ability; and finally, shifting down the focus of educational governance, carrying out the construction of practice base and legal system of labor education system with Chinese characteristics to ensure the effective and sustainable implementation of labor education.

Key words: labor education, Chinese experience, policy transfer, integration of five domains of educations
