The research and development of high-quality textbooks is a prerequisite for vocational education to achieve high-quality development. In view of the status quo of the development of vocational education textbooks, the “quality of a textbook” can be defined as “the degree to which the intrinsic and objective property of a textbook meets the set standards,” and a “high-quality textbook” can be defined as a textbook with “its multi-dimensional contents in morality, knowledge and technical skills integrated as an organic whole. To be more specific, the contents should cover three dimensions, i.e., morality (professional ethnics included), technical skills and knowledge, which should be integrated as an organic whole in overt and covert ways. One-dimensional textbooks have been prevailing in vocational education for a long time. Yet comprehensive textbooks are more in line with the needs of the changing working world. Consistent with the holistic curriculum view, they are more responsive to cultivating high-quality technical personnel. In order to develop high quality textbooks for vocational education, it is urgent to strengthen the organization and guidance of textbook development, establish standard-driven principle, set up heterogeneous multi-dimensional textbook development teams, and strengthen the pedagogical training for teachers.
