Abstract

This study aims to explore the theoretical framework and development path of digital transformation in maritime vocational education to meet the dual challenges of globalization and technological innovation. Utilizing literature review and theoretical analysis, the research systematically examines relevant theories and practical experiences in the digital transformation of vocational education both domestically and internationally. By delving into the essence, value, challenges, and pathways of digital transformation, this study constructs a theoretical model encompassing four dimensions: technology application, educational model innovation, teacher training, and policy support. Special attention is given to the impacts of digital transformation on the professionalism, practicality, and internationality of maritime vocational education, as well as how digital tools can enhance teaching quality and students' employability. The conclusion emphasizes that the digital transformation of maritime vocational education requires technical infrastructure and an update in educational philosophies and innovation in teaching methods. Additionally, policy guidance and teacher training are crucial for driving this transformation. This research provides theoretical guidance and practical references for the digital transformation of maritime vocational education, contributing to the sustainable development of the maritime education sector.
