ABSTRACT

In response to significant disparities in students’ foundational knowledge, and insufficient alignment between mathematics courses and professional requirements in vocational undergraduate education, this study proposes a four-dimensional, dynamic, stratified teaching model centred on knowledge foundation, learning ability, learning styles and professional requirements. Based on these multidimensional learning profiles, student characteristics can be accurately identified in order to formulate stratified teaching objectives, differentiated instructional content, diverse teaching methods and a dynamic evaluation and adjustment mechanism. The model has been fully implemented in the Advanced Mathematics course. A quasi-experimental design was adopted to compare teaching effectiveness between an experimental group and a control group. The results suggest that the four-dimensional, dynamic, stratified model can effectively enhance students' mathematical performance and engagement in the classroom, strengthen the integration of mathematics teaching and professional learning, and promote students' personalized development. This study provides a practical, scalable approach to reforming mathematics teaching in vocational undergraduate education.
