Abstract
This paper introduces a poetic pedagogy framework tailored for aesthetic course reform within higher vocational education contexts. It addresses a significant deficiency in traditional vocational training programs, which frequently overlook the integration of creative and emotional development. This innovative framework merges aesthetic education with technical training, aiming to concurrently enhance students' professional competence and creative capabilities. Such preparation is essential for excelling in today's rapidly evolving professional environments. The discussion provides a thorough examination of the framework's development, theoretical underpinnings, practical applications, and the challenges anticipated during its implementation. Additionally, it outlines future research directions, which include evaluating the long-term effects on student employability and the framework's adaptability across various educational and cultural contexts. These studies are crucial for maintaining the framework's relevance and efficacy in the evolving landscape of global vocational education.
