Essential-qualities-oriented education is an educational concept, rather than a mere educational model or a kind of method. We should concentrate on how to apply theories in practice through combining the use of various aspects of vocational education with that of realizing the students'potential. The development of a higher vocational college is based on the demand of society, so it is urgent to build an essential-qualities-oriented cultivation model which is job-oriented. This should be a practical solution to the problems existing in current higher education, and which emphasizes competence cultivation.We need to point out that knowledge, morality, competence and physique are four key essences that a student's all-around development need to be equipped with. Moreover, the four essences interact on an individual's all-around development.In this article, we consider the social requirements for higher vocational college students and then analyses the drawbacks of the previous assessment target, content and method through studying the current assessment model of students'caliber. These drawbacks can be mainly seen from two aspects. The first is that there are relatively fewer quantitative analysis and objective judgments, but much more qualitative analysis and subjective judgments are involved. Secondly, rough index design, stable index system and the required qualities of a higher vocational college student are outmoded, for these criteria cannot meet the new era's requirements. According to the basic knowledge of statistics, the high caliber itself cannot be measured by accurate data, so a multilevel fuzzy comprehensive judgment (FCJ) was designed to evaluate the vocational college students' caliber. In addition, fuzzy mathematics is applied to the judgment in order to make further investigation on the college students'caliber and help them adapt to the fast developing society in a short time. |
