ABSTRACT

This study addresses the critical gap in IoT education by proposing a holistic evaluation framework that synergizes technical skill development with ideological-political cultivation. Traditional IoT curricula often prioritize technical competencies while neglecting holistic student growth, leading to mismatches between educational outcomes and industry demands. To bridge this divide, we introduce a four-dimensional synergy mode ("knowledge enhancement, capability cultivation, affective identification, value shaping") integrated with a school credit bank system. This innovative framework quantifies learning achievements across four interconnected dimensions—learning background, content input, learning process, and outcomes—converting them into transferable credits aligned with industry standards. Pilot implementations in IoT courses at Chongqing Industry Polytechnic College demonstrated significant improvements: Students achieved technical proficiency benchmarks, exhibited exemplary ethical decision-making, and secured employment within six months post-graduation. The system's dynamic tracking capabilities and modular credit design ensured alignment with national strategies (e.g., China's Three-Year Action Plan for IoT Infrastructure) and employer expectations. By fostering multistakeholder collaboration and leveraging lifelong learning pathways, this model offers a replicable solution for vocational education reform, balancing technological innovation with socialist core values.
