This study aims to explore the implementation status, challenges, and coping strategies of labor skills courses in special education schools in the Guangdong region. Through semi-structured interviews with four frontline teachers from four different schools, this study provides an in-depth analysis of the actual classroom situation. The research found that teachers commonly face multiple difficulties, including: high student heterogeneity and generally weak learning abilities; large class sizes that make individualized instruction difficult; unclear standards for curriculum content selection, leading to a heavy reliance on teachers’personal experiences; and weak labor consciousness among students due to factors such as excessive assistance from families, posing significant challenges, especially in teaching household chores. To address these challenges, teachers have adopted strategies such as differentiated instruction, group collaboration, and selecting teaching content adapted to local conditions. However, the study still identifies structural issues as the core bottlenecks limiting the course’s effectiveness, including the difficulty of skill transfer, insufficient teaching venues and class hours, and a lack of social and professional training resources. Based on these findings, this study recommends systematically improving the quality of the course from the teaching, school, and societal levels. For instance, by introducing project-based learning to promote skill transfer, schools should invest resources in developing school-based curricula and improving teaching venues, while society and the government should provide more teacher training and internship opportunities, establishing an effective transition channel from school to the workplace. |
