[Abstract] Promoting the high-quality development of vocational education is the fundamental requirementfor building a modern vocational education system. It faces the profound challenge of transitioning from scaleexpansion to value creation, with the core issue being the need to break free from the supply-led pathdependence. Needed-Value Education, with its core tenets of demand orientation and value symbiosis, offers anew paradigm to address this predicament. Through theoretical reasoning and model construction, this paperelucidates how it reconstructs the development logie of vocational education via a threefold mechanism target.content, and driving force-achieving a transfomation from instrumental discipline to subjectivity awakening.from knowledge accumulation to a competency ecosystem, and from external drivers to endogenous emergence.Furthermore, it constructs a four-in-one practical pathway encompassing curriculum and teaching, evaluationand feedhack, teacher development, and organizational governance, thereby providing a theoretical rationale andan action framework for theoretical innovation and reform in China's vocational education.
