Abstract

Promoting students’ career orientation is an important goal in the 2018 General Education Curriculum. This study’s purpose is to identify career-oriented competencies and propose teaching methods to enhance students’ career orientation in teaching science subjects such as Biology. The study investigated theoretical models of career orientation for students and inquiry-based, experiential teaching approaches. The results of the study were: (1) proposing the structure and expressions of career-oriented competencies; (2) analyzing the theoretical basis for using teaching methods such as 5E inquiry teaching and experiential teaching to explore scientific applications and professional experiences to improve students' career orientation; and (3) theoretically determining and empirically analyzing the correlation between the characteristics of the 5E teaching model, experiential teaching, and the corresponding manifestations of teaching careeroriented competence.
