ABSTRACT

Driven by both the digital transformation of China's construction industry and the high-quality development of vocational education, the teaching reform of the "Building Information Modeling Applications" course has become a critical component in enhancing the quality of technical and skilled talent cultivation. However, the traditional teaching model has several drawbacks, such as the lack of ideological and political guidance, insufficient teaching adaptability, and a single evaluation mechanism. Therefore, grounded in a student-centered educational philosophy and integrating the "Practicing Before Learning" approach that emphasizes the fusion of theory and practice, this study constructs a systematic reform model characterized by "one core guiding principle, dual-track driving mechanisms, and three-dimensional support." Through teaching practice, this model significantly enhances students' professional skills, vocational competence, and innovative capabilities. It provides valuable support for digital curriculum reform in higher vocational education and offers important reference experience for advancing the quality of technical and skilled talent cultivation in vocational education.
