Abstract: With the promulgation of the“20 articles on vocational education”, all higher vocational colleges are actively carrying out the“three educations”reform, constantly deepening the integration of vocational skill level certificates and academic certificates, and the integration of“post course competition certificates”is widely used by many higher vocational colleges as the mainstream curriculum design concept. Based on the analysis of job investigation, certificate standards and competition requirements, this paper will introduce the“work order”teaching mode, innovate the teaching of Python program design, and exploring a new way of teaching computer programming courses.
