Abstract

In traditional college laboratory courses, students keep the study habits of senior high school, which is characterized by teacher-centered and passive learning. And teachers are still limited to lecture basic knowledge, rather than develop students' interest in learning. Moreover, the thinking mode during the laboratory course remains in "how to do it", not "why to do it". This paper propose a student-centered and OBE-BOPPPS driven teaching mode to cultivate students' subjective initiative, independent thinking, and problem-solving abilities. We take the laboratory course of Introduction to Information Science and Technology as a case study. Firstly, the proposed teaching mode decomposes the course objectives into clear, attainable, and measurable learning outcomes, which are laboratory reports and course projects. Participatory "teaching assistants", the BOPPPS teaching model, and course projects are integrated seamlessly on the Yu Class and ITC Smart Training Platform, to provide an ability-oriented, student-centered, and online-offline blended active learning environment. Moreover, accurate assessment and feedback are provided by questionnaires, to guide the improvements of teaching and assessment strategies. Quantitative results show that the student-centered and OBE-BOPPPS driven teaching mode has enhanced teaching quality for teachers and improved learning outcomes for students. And it is beneficial for elevating the quality of professional talent development.
