Abstract: In the context of digital transformation in vocational education, blended teaching has become an important direction for professional course reform in higher vocational colleges. The Industrial Internet Technology major, characterized by rapid technological updates and strong practical orientation, places higher demands on teachers' blended teaching competencies. Based on competency theory and research on blended teaching, and considering the teaching characteristics of the Industrial Internet Technology major, this study constructs a teacher competency model for blended teaching with four first-level dimensions and eleven second-level dimensions, and develops a corresponding evaluation index system. A questionnaire survey was conducted among teachers of the Industrial Internet Technology major in higher vocational colleges to analyze the current status of their blended teaching competencies. The results show that teachers perform well in understanding blended teaching concepts and applying information technology, but shortcomings remain in integrated virtual–real instructional design, formative assessment implementation, and teaching reflection based on learning data. Based on these findings, the study proposes pathways to enhance teachers' blended teaching competencies through instructional design, assessment approaches, and institutional support, providing a reference for teaching reform and professional development.
