A digital transformation approach from traditional to virtual practice: A case study of gas welding corner-welding

Tóm tắt

The digital transformation context has opened up many new opportunities in the field of education and training, allowing learning to take place in multiple environments with rich experiences. Converting the traditional vocational training model to virtual vocational training will bring many benefits, creating a
flexible learning environment, improving knowledge and skills for learners, and reducing training costs. The article focuses on analysing the current situation of vocational training and teaching activities at vocational training institutions in the current period, therefore proposing solutions to digitally transform vocational training models, contributing to improving vocationcal training quality and enhancing competitiveness in the labour market. The article selects a pilot project to build a virtual vocational training model for virtual practice on the metal corner welding method using gas welding techniques. The virtual practice has been tested with 40 experts, scientists, teachers, and 270 students studying at five colleges and vocational secondary schools in Thai Nguyen province (before the administrative merger) that provide training in electricity, mechanics, welding, etc., and the results have shown its effectiveness when digitally transforming traditional professional practice models.
