Abstract
The purposes of this research were to: 1) examine the environment, the educational system, the teacher-student relationship, the students’ self-awareness, and the other aspects affecting Chinese vocational students’ psychological quality and 2) develop a model of educational techniques for psychological development for vocational students.
The population and the samples consisted of 7,000 students in Sichuan Vocational and Technical College of Industry and Commerce in Zigong City, Rong County, China. The 4-point scale questionnaires with Guttman split-half reliability coefficient of .802 were used with a percentage-based scoring standard explained as a score below 50 indicating “strongly disagree,” a score between 51 and 70 indicating “neutral,” a score between 71 and 90 indicating “moderately agree,” and a score between 91 and 100 indicating “strongly agree.”
The study revealed that 4,768 students completed 6,458 surveys. After deleting 97 low-reliability questionnaires with similar answers to seven consecutive items, 4,671 were valid. The model of educational techniques for psychological development for vocational students included implementing multi-level therapy, methodical mental health education, and a supportive learning environment.
