The Audio-Visual Teaching Plan for College-Level Specialty-Oriented Career Planning Courses

Abstract

Today's career counselors for higher education need to focus on the "specialty-oriented career planning" of various departments to provide an adequate supply of professional talent for the job market. The ten specialty-oriented career planning core topics and supplemented with eight career planning relevant topics compiled into a "teaching plan" along with their corresponding audiovisual PowerPoint files are to promote the importance of college specialty-oriented career planning. This set of courses designed from the student's point of view, with a reduction in theory, while substituting such with what are "easy to read, understand, and apply" content. This set of courses has been uploaded to YouTube's "TYS Career Soft Power" playlist and can be used for flipped classroom curriculum or integrated into general education courses and professional courses. A good teaching plan and well-rounded teaching enthusiasm must accompany the "specialty-oriented career planning course" in the higher learning institutions. The department of any college/university that implements the curriculum of a specialty-oriented career-planning course might be able to make feasible and applicable arrangements within the combined planning and implementation of instruction content, including: a range of teaching objectives, teacher specifications, schedule arrangements, and teaching procedures, to realize the teaching objectives of this pilot program. The research results may serve as a reference for improving the application of curriculum planning for "specialty-oriented career planning classes and group counseling for any department" in higher education, thus, achieving the goal of promoting the model of "specialty-oriented career counseling" in colleges.
