How much the students identify their majors is related to positive development of the schools and the successful completion of the study tasks. It also has a direct effect on the future career development. even the storage of human resourcethat has proper majors as well as the competitive powerof a country. Especially in the current situation of practical personnel much-needed in the process of our economic society development, making a study of students’specialty identity can find some problems existing in the higher vocational education from the side perspective and provide reference for the quality enhancement of the higher vocational education.In recent years, experts and scholars from abroad and at home have carried widely discussion and research about the specialty identity from multi-disciplinarity aspects such as sociology, psychology. However, foreign researches about the specialty identity mainly focus on some professional specialty group which regard the specialty identity and the professional identity as the same and researches about the specialty identity of universities are very fewer. Although the specialty identity researches have already raised domestic concern, research object is mainly about undergraduate students not about students in vocational colleges.Based on this, after reading relevant literature and documents for reference, considering the characteristics of higher vocational schools and modifying Qin Panbo’s questionnaire, this research designs its own questionnaire for students in vocational colleges and launches an investigation on four higher vocational schools in Y city of Shanxi province, namely Shanxi Water Conservancy Vocational and technical college, Yuncheng Agricultural Vocational and Technical College, Yuncheng Infant Normal College and Yuncheng Technology Institute. Through making questionnaire and interview about students’specialty identityof the four higher vocational schools, the paper carries on further research about its dimensions, current situation, development features and its relations with external environment. The results are as follows.
