Research on the Influence of Vocational Interest of Vocational College Students on the Professional Learning Effectiveness

This study investigates how various occupational interests among students in higher vocational colleges impact their learning outcomes. It develops a theoretical model linking six occupational interest types to learning outcomes, gathering data from 390 valid responses via online surveys. Analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0 software to assess the relationship between occupational interests and learning outcomes, incorporating both reliability and validity tests, followed by multiple linear regression to evaluate the research hypotheses. Findings indicate that interests in vocational, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional areas positively influence professional learning outcomes. Notably, social occupational interests demonstrate the most significant positive impact, whereas conventional interests have the least effect on learning outcomes. Conclusively, the study offers targeted recommendations for students, parents, and educators. It highlights the necessity of aligning students' occupational interests with educational programs to enhance learning outcomes, advocating for concerted efforts from all stakeholders to support students' academic and professional growth. This tailored approach aims to foster an educational environment that maximizes students' potential and academic success.
