ABSTRACT

Aiming to address the issue of the failure to comprehend complex course content due to insufficient time for thinking in class and the conflict between the timeliness of teaching content and the development of students' innovative skills, a learning-centred teaching mode is implemented in the education reform of the professional core course "Structural Design for Mechanical Equipment". Two teaching platforms, "Chaoxing" and "Yiwangchangxue", with multi-terminal access are introduced in the online-offline mixed teaching process. Based on these teaching platforms, an initiative-inspired teaching mode of Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion class could be implemented. Activities such as preview, discussion, classroom testing, etc. are assigned to students at different stages of the course, and all the activities are linked together with the presentation made by the students themselves. In addition, through the outcome-oriented achievement evaluation system, teachers can comprehensively and fairly evaluate students' learning progress using activity data from the platforms. This data helps teachers make timely adjustments, tailor teaching to individual aptitudes, and guide students in understanding course content correctly. It also fosters strong innovation skills.
