Abstract：Objective To analyze the core curricula framework of speech-language-hearing rehabilitation technology in vocational colleges,and formulate the course objectives,content and teaching methods.By constructing competency-orient-ed curricula,it is aimed to develop comprehensive competencies among students,and ensure they can meet di-verse service needs.
Methods WHO rehabilitation competency framework(RCF)5+2 structure was adopted to systematically analyze the ob-jectives,content,instruction and evaluation approaches of eight core curricula in speech-language-hearing reha-bilitation technology at vocational colleges.By incorporating international standards from International Associa-tion of Logopedics and Phoniatrics and American Speech-Language-Hearing Association,the core curricula framework was designed to meet the educational needs in China.A contextualized teaching method that empha-sizes the integration of theory and practice was employed to ensure the comprehensive development of students'knowledge,skills,and professional competencies.
Results A curricula framework that integrating theory with practice was established using RCF,covering various aspects from assessment to rehabilitation interventions.The content of eight core curricula and the corresponding rehabil-itation competencies were systematically analyzed using RCF,thereby systematic course objectives,content and teaching methods were constructed.This curricula framework encompassed core knowledge,skills and competen-cies in rehabilitation sciences,in order to ensure that students were equipped to handle complex service situations.
Conclusion It is valuable to develop the competency-based core curricula for speech-language-hearing rehabilitation technology using RCF,for advancing competency-oriented vocational education.These curricula not only align with the current demand for highly skilled professionals in the rehabilitation industry,but also lay a foundation for students'continuous professional development.By emphasizing practical skills and interdisciplinary collabo-ration,the courses enable students to effectively function in dynamic rehabilitation environments,meeting di-verse rehabilitation needs.
