Abstract

In the education system, Chinese students are required to acquire professional ethics education criteria. However, it was found that graduates mainly fail in professional ethics education. This study aimed first to examine the current state of vocational ethics, second to investigate the problems in vocational ethics among students, and third to provide guidelines for enhancing vocational ethics among students at the secondary vocational school of Dazhou Vocational Senior High School. The samples are 186 teachers and 382 students. Questionnaires and interviews are used to collect data. Frequency, percentage and content analysis are conducted. The findings are as follows: First, family members lack a solid understanding of educational concepts, and second, the school’s moral education institutions are not entirely effective. The teacher’s professional moral education methods are insufficient for innovation; the timeliness is not stable and incompetent; third, in a working enterprise environment, students fail to meet its requirements. In addition, irrational teaching and learning are disconnected between the students and teachers. Students often neglect vocational morals, and the cultivation of vocational morals is low. Moreover, the guidelines for enhancing vocational ethics were declined due to the rapid development in China, but students’ public moral consciousness is slow to develop. Those factors affect the students’ correct views.
