Abstract
Aiming at the problems existing in traditional programming practice courses, such as fragmented cases, insufficient integration of aerospace scenarios, and a lack of process-oriented assessment, an innovative dual-helix-driven teaching model is proposed. Taking the Beidou Satellite Navigation System as a cross-cutting case, this model deeply integrates the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) quality management theory to construct a dual-helix teaching framework of “aerospace case traction + PDCA cycle control”. By embedding core knowledge points such as Python syntax, data structures, and algorithm design into aerospace application scenarios, including Beidou satellite orbit calculation, positioning solution, and data visualization, the synergistic improvement of theoretical knowledge and application capabilities is realized.
