ABSTRACT

Vocational university mathematics curriculum plays a vital importance in cultivating students' logical thinking, professional competencies, and career readiness. However, existing teaching models commonly suffer from issues such as monotonous methods, insufficient practical components, and low student engagement. Guided by experiential learning principles, this study systematically reforms vocational university mathematics curriculum through content optimization, pedagogical innovation, and instructional resource development. Through task-driven activities, case studies, mathematical modeling, and simulated workplace scenarios, students actively engage in learning within real or simulated contexts, achieving a "learning by doing, doing by learning" pedagogical approach. Findings indicate that experiential teaching enhances students' comprehension and application of mathematical knowledge, practical skills, and innovative thinking, while simultaneously boosting learning initiative and professional competence. This study provides an actionable practical pathway and theoretical reference for reforming vocational university mathematics curricula.
