Application of Industry-Education Integration Model in Vocational Education: A Systematic Literature Review of Learning Factories and Industrial Colleges

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of learning factories and industrial colleges in improving the quality of vocational education through a systematic literature review. The results show that learning factories simulate real production environments, enabling students to learn and master skills in practice, significantly improving their practical ability and professional quality; while industrial colleges cultivate high-quality application-oriented talents that meet industry needs through in-depth school-enterprise cooperation and resource sharing. However, the study also found that these two models face many challenges in the implementation process, such as insufficient funding and resource investment, high technical complexity, and weak teaching staff. In response to these challenges, this paper proposes suggestions such as strengthening funding, improving teaching staff, deepening school-enterprise cooperation, reforming the curriculum system, and improving the management system, so as to optimize the construction path of learning factories and industrial colleges and further improve the quality of vocational education and students' employability.
