Technology Empowerment, Practice Foundation, and Ideological and Political Cultivation: Teaching Reform and Practice of the National First-Class Course “Electrical Machinery”

Abstract

Addressing the traditional teaching challenges in the “Electrical Machinery” course, such as abstract magnetic fields, complex principles, disconnected practical applications, and weakened ideological and political education, as well as the dual demands of emerging engineering disciplines for high-quality engineering talents with both “innovative practical abilities and value-oriented qualities,” this study constructs and implements a three-dimensional teaching reform model of “technology empowerment, practice foundation, and ideological and political cultivation.” By developing visual teaching resources through digital technologies, establishing a practical education platform through industry-education integration, and organically embedding ideological and political elements throughout the entire teaching process, a systematic reform pathway of “resource support, closed-loop process, and value-oriented guidance” is formed. Teaching practice demonstrates that this model effectively alleviates students’ fear of difficulty in course learning, enhances their engineering application abilities, and values-oriented qualities. The course has been successively recognized as a national first-class hybrid online-offline course and a Guangdong Provincial Ideological and Political Education Demonstration Course. The relevant experience has been promoted in multiple universities, providing a replicable practical paradigm for the high-quality construction of core engineering courses in the context of emerging engineering disciplines.
