ABSTRACT

In the context of contemporary chemical education, spectroscopic analysis courses face key challenges. Essential for fostering students' practical skills and problem-solving capabilities, these courses are vital across chemistry, materials science, and biopharmaceutical fields. Yet, predominant teaching methods overly focus on theoretical knowledge, sidelining practical skill development. This imbalance curtails the application of theory in real-world contexts. Additionally, traditional pedagogies often omit the integration of ideological and political education (IPE), failing to nurture students' sense of social responsibility and historical mission, thereby weakening their intrinsic motivation to learn. This article advocates for integrating Outcome-Based Education (OBE) principles and Small Private Online Courses (SPOCs), with a significant incorporation of IPE into professional teaching, to refine the pedagogy and practice of spectroscopic analysis. Aimed at improving teaching quality and enriching students' professional and social competencies, this model seeks to invigorate learning motivation and carve novel pathways in chemical talent development. It proposes an innovative approach to rebalance theoretical and practical learning, underscored by a commitment to societal values, thereby enhancing student engagement and proficiency in spectroscopic analysis within a more holistic educational framework.
