ABSTRACT

The traditional "Construction Project Management" course still suffers from disconnected content, insufficient practical opportunities, and a lack of personalized guidance in practical training, BIM skills application, and student comprehensive development. This paper explores a course reform plan for digital architecture. By introducing BIM virtual simulation, modular task design, and generative teaching resources, it achieves a deep integration of theory and practice. This study, based on a KT modular teaching mechanism, divides the course content into four modules: theoretical knowledge mapping, BIM practical skills training, ideological and political education, and spiral evaluation. A virtual simulation platform is used to conduct engineering construction simulations. Learning analytics data (activity and number of retries) are combined to monitor student learning progress and dynamically adjust the teaching plan. The experiment compared the experimental and control groups to evaluate the effectiveness of the teaching method in improving students' practical skills, self-efficacy, and overall abilities. The teaching method had a significant positive impact on the level of practical skills (β=1.12, SE=0.42, z=2.67, p=0.008, OR=3.06, 95% CI [1.33, 7.03]), indicating that students in the experimental group were more likely to achieve higher levels than those in the control group. Improved learning motivation also significantly promoted improvements in practical skills (β=0.85, SE=0.30, z=2.83, p=0.005, OR=2.34, 95% CI [1.29, 4.24]).
