Higher Vocational and Technical Education(HVTE) has developed rapidly in recent years in our country. The subject of HVTE is to train advanced applicable talents who are fit in with the needs of the construction of Chinese modernization, who have grasped the basic theories and professional knowledge, who possess overall abilities of doing practice work and comprehensive vocational abilities and who can work in the frontline of production, construction, administration and service. The HVTE curriculum reform around this objective is the core of HVTE reform. Curriculum model is a standard pattern which takes a certain curriculum according to the curriculum outlook and supplies thoughts and ways for curriculum designers to develop or revise a special field of study and to make up a curriculum file for it. Attaching importance on the exploring of curriculum model is the main difference between the theoretical study of vocational education and that of elementary education. It is also the main characteristic of vocational education curriculum theories, the center of vocational curriculum reform. How and what kind of curriculum model will be constructed, which is of basic theoretical significance in HVTE, decides directly the characteristics and specifications of HVTE graduates. This thesis discusses the HVTE curriculum model at three levels. At the first level, a macro-description of HVTE curriculum model is made, in which the connotations and mutual relations of the three factors of the HVTE curriculum model are generalized. At the second level, it discusses the construction of HVTE curriculum model for special field of study which is at mid-level for it contains concrete curriculum contents and its way of organization. At the third level, it is the micro-manifestation of HVTE curriculum model in certain specialized subjects, which is not only the organic part of the mid-level curriculum model, but also the concrete methods carried in HVTE teaching of that subject. In order to construct a HVTEcurriculum model that conforms both to the law of HVTE and Chinese reality, this thesis explores an curriculum model for subjects of physics integrated with speciality of Mechatronics guided by a "triangle" curriculum outlook and provides for its subjects a curriculum operating method.This thesis contains four main parts:The first part gives a general description of HVTE curriculum theories and on the basis of what puts forward the concept of HVTE curriculum model and defines its connotations. The three factors made up of a HVTE curriculum model are HVTE curriculum outlook, HVTE curriculum contents, HVTE curriculum structure.The second part finds out the advantages and disadvantages of various curriculum models through the comparison and analysis of HVTE curriculum models between those in China and abroad, which are important references for the construction of a new HVTE curriculum model. The author thinks that a new HVTE curriculum model must be characterized by a well-balanced pluralistic curriculum outlook and a modularized curriculum structure.The third part is the heart, in which the HVTE curriculum model is discussed and constructed separately at macro-level and mid-level. Through the analysis of the application of several curriculum outlooks in HVTE, a "triangle" curriculum outlook is formed, with students, society, subjects as three apexes, with the comprehensive vocational qualities and abilities of HVTE students as the center. Further, a three-dimensional HVTE curriculum model which consists of "triangle" HVTE curriculum outlook, HVTE ?curriculum contents and HVTE curriculum structure is constructed and annotated. At mid-level, integrated with the characteristics and concrete objective of HVTE speciality of Mechatronics, through the analysis of field background, vocational posts and vocational abilities, it poses a first-stage ability-module including 6 abilities, including basic ability(Ai), mechanical technological ability (A2), electrical engineering technological ability(Aj),electronic techn...
