Abstract: There are problems in the integration of theory and practice in the management of unmanned aerial vehicle courses in higher vocational education, such as the disconnection between theory and practice, incomplete management organization settings, and insufficient depth of school enterprise cooperation. Taking the theory and practice in unmanned aerial vehicle courses in higher vocational education as an example, this article elaborates on the four basic principles of building a systematic, practical, open, and collaborative system. It establishes a four-dimensional management system consisting of a target system, content management mechanism, operation mode, and information platform, and forms the specific process of three supporting measures: multi-level organizational support, dual teacher team training, and funding support. The integrated teaching management model of theory and practice plays a positive role in enhancing students'theoretical knowledge mastery and practical operation skills, providing a feasible path for the construction of unmanned aerial vehicle majors in higher vocational education.
