Abstract:

The new college entrance examination reform gives students the right to choose, which not only broadens the choice space, advances the decision-making time, but also gives high school students expectations for a more sustainable future development. The guidance of subject selection has become an important opportunity and a powerful grasp for students’ current choice and long-term development. Based on the perspective of career education, it is of great significance to construct a “4-harmony” model, which includes coordination-based harmony of guiding objectives, merging-based harmony of contents, smoothness-based harmony of paths, and righteousness-based harmony of evaluation, whose utility and value can be tested through practical application, aiming at responding to the concerns of the times. The results show that this model can significantly reduce the decision-making difficulties of students in the course of subject selection, enhance their maturity in career development, thus forming a deep understanding of learning, and promote the transformation from superficial to deep learning motivation. Through the elaboration of the experimental results, it proves that the perspective of career education has a positive effect on the guidance of subject selection; on the other hand, it tests the reference of the “4-harmony” mode at the operational level.

Key words: career education, subject selection guidance, practical model, experimental research
