Digital Twin Empowers the Alignment of Industry and Education in Home Economics

Abstract

The home economics service industry, as a crucial support for people's livelihood and consumption upgrading, urgently requires a supply of specialized high-skilled talent for its high-quality development. Currently, the alignment between home economics majors and industry-education faces practical challenges such as a disconnect between talent training and industry needs, insufficient practical teaching resources, and ineffective collaborative education mechanisms. Digital twin technology, with its core advantages of virtual-physical mapping, real-time interaction, and simulation, provides a new pathway to address the pain points of industry-education integration. Based on the latest policy directions such as the "Opinions on Deepening the Integration of Industry and Education in the Home Economics Service Industry," and incorporating core research achievements like "Post-Course-Competition-Certification-Training-Innovation," this paper constructs a "Policy Guidance - Technology Empowerment - Mechanism Innovation - Practical Implementation" framework for digital twin-empowered alignment of industry and education in home economics majors. It proposes optimization strategies for the talent training model from four dimensions: curriculum system restructuring, teaching model innovation, collaborative mechanism optimization, and evaluation system improvement, providing theoretical reference and practical paradigms for cultivating high-skilled talent in home economics majors.
