ABSTRACT

This study explores the utilization of rain classroom, in conjunction with the BOPPPS instructional model, for the teaching design of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. Focusing on the second law of thermodynamics, this paper presents a comprehensive case study via an innovative approach employed in the classroom. The learning situation analysis of the students is first carried out to understand the limitations of traditional teaching method. Teaching design based on rain classroom and BOPPPS is further conducted in the sequences of pre-class preparation, bridge-in, objectives, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment and summary. The practical teaching effects indicate that, the combined use of rain classroom and the BOPPPS model promotes active participation, real-time feedback, a deeper understanding of complex thermodynamic principles, significant political and ideological education effects. Above technology-enhanced teaching method can provide valuable insights for educators seeking to optimize the pedagogical strategies in science and engineering disciplines.
