Abstract

Digital technology has deeply permeated the entire educational scenarios of higher vocational colleges, and the adaptability of the traditional value guidance system has gradually become a prominent issue. Based on the actual situation of higher vocational education, this paper analyzes the current real challenges faced by value guidance work and dissects the core causes behind these challenges from three dimensions: content adaptation, method matching, and subject capability. It proposes targeted optimization paths, which can provide feasible references for adjusting the value guidance system of higher vocational colleges to adapt to digital scenarios, improving educational effectiveness, and helping students form positive value orientations.
