An empirical study on the academic level of instructors to improve students’ performance in skill competition

Abstract

The eff ect of instructors on students’ performance in skills competition is still unknown. Taking the fi rst Guangdong Fintech
Student Vocational Skills Competition in Guangdong Province in 2021 as the research object, this paper empirically tested the infl uence
of the academic level of instructors on students’ performance in the competition by using ordinary least squares (OLS). The fi ndings are as
follows: First, the academic level of the instructor can signifi cantly improve the performance of the students in the competition. For every
10 units increase in the academic level of the instructor, the performance of the students will be increased by 3.6 units; Second, the academic
level of the fi rst instructor can signifi cantly improve students’ performance in competition (every increase of 10 units in the academic level
of the fi rst instructor in competition will increase students’ performance by 4.3 units), but second, we know that the contribution of the
teacher’s academic level to students’ performance in competition is not obvious. The empirical results of this paper clarify the eff ect of the
academic level of the leading teacher on students’ performance in competition. From the perspective of guiding academic level, this paper
further reveals the micro-mechanism of the formation of students’ vocational skills.
