职业教育具有历史性、国际性和地区性等特点,它产生于资本主义社会,与社会生产发展相联系,职业教育的内容和形式伴随着社会发展而变化。在不同的国家和地区,职业教育受到不同政治、经济、文化等多种因素的影响,呈现出不同的特点。职业教育概念历来是职业教育界争论的焦点,且到目前为止,职业教育的概念在学术界仍然莫衷一是。基于国内外职业教育发展历史及其称谓的变化,从职业教育自定义、职业教育本身以及职业、教育与职业教育的关系三个方面剖析职业教育的概念,以引发更深入的思考。

Vocational education has the characteristics of historism, internationalism and provincialism, which was produced in the capitalist society, and combines with the development of social production. The content and form of vocational education changes with the social development. In different countries and regions, vocational education is affected by different political, economic and cultural factors, thus showing different characteristics. Therefore, the concept of vocational education has always been the focus of vocational education circles. But so far, we have no consistent point of view on the concept of vocational education in academic circles. Learning from the domestic and foreign history of vocational education evolution and the changes of vocational education expressions, the paper analyzes the concept of vocational education from three aspects,i, e. , vocational education definition, vocational education and the relationship between occupation, education and vocational education.
