Objective: To investigate the educational effectiveness of the CDID preoperative visit model, defined as Consultation, Direction, Instruction, and Digital integration, in anesthesia training, and to assess its influence on patients’ preoperative anxiety, the success rate of preoperative visits, and the comprehensive competencies of trainees. Methods: Sixty anesthesia residents enrolled in the standardized training program at Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital between 2024 and 2025 were randomly assigned to a CDID group or a conventional teaching group, each with thirty trainees. All instructors possessed teaching certification and at least five years of clinical experience. The conventional group received routine multimedia-based theoretical instruction. In contrast, the CDID group was trained through a four-stage framework including emotional reassurance, structured guidance, procedural instruction, and digital learning support. Teaching activities were supported by a self-developed educational platform, an interactive human-machine system, and a three-dimensional digital spinal model. At the end of the training period, patients’ preoperative anxiety scores, the success rate of preoperative visits, and trainee assessment results were compared between groups. Results: No significant difference in baseline anxiety scores was observed between the two groups prior to the preoperative visit (P = 0.90). After the visit, patients managed by trainees in the CDID group showed significantly lower anxiety scores than those in the conventional group (51.97 ± 3.44 vs 55.77 ± 3.27, P < 0.01). The success rate of preoperative visits in the CDID group reached 100.0%, which was higher than that of the conventional group at 83.3% (χ² = 5.36, P = 0.02). Trainees trained under the CDID framework achieved higher overall assessment scores compared with the conventional group (84.04 ± 3.48 vs 70.14 ± 3.33, P < 0.01). Significant improvements were observed in clinical practice performance and professional humanistic competence (P < 0.01), whereas theoretical knowledge scores did not differ significantly between groups (P = 0.07). Conclusion: The CDID educational model effectively reduces patient anxiety before surgery and improves the success rate of preoperative anesthesia visits while strengthening the overall competencies of anesthesia residents. It demonstrates particular advantages in clinical practice training and the development of professional humanistic qualities. Supported by theoretical knowledge and integrated with artificial intelligence technologies, this approach offers a novel perspective for advancing reforms in anesthesia education.

Against the backdrop of digital transformation in education, this study focuses on the strategies and approaches for integrating digital technologies into preschool curricula and teaching, addressing questions such as “How can technology innovate curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation?” The study examines the significance of its application, analyzes the existing issues in the digital technology-enabled preschool curricula and teaching, and proposes three major strategies: In curriculum design, use big data to precisely set goals, expand content with digital resource libraries, and support the development of school-based curricula with collaborative tools; in the organization and implementation of teaching, optimize scenarios with AR/VR, transform interaction with smart teaching aids, innovate methods with gamified apps, and explore the integration path of technology and games; in curriculum evaluation, advocate the use of process data for dynamic evaluation, provide personalized support through intelligent tools, and build a home-school collaboration platform. The research emphasizes that the implementation of strategies requires the establishment of a comprehensive support system for enhancing the quality of preschool teachers, configuring software and hardware, establishing ethical norms and health management, etc., to provide a systematic strategic framework for the digital transformation of kindergartens and conduct forward-looking analysis of practical challenges.

This study, based on international academic research on assessment literacy in project-based learning (PBL) and in light of Chinese preschool education practices, analyzes the challenges faced by teachers’ assessment literacy in PBL, including the contradiction between assessment and game integration, the pressure of data processing, cultural context conflicts, and the tension between standardized assessment and game-based teaching. The study suggests that teachers’ assessment literacy can be enhanced and children’s all-round development promoted by constructing a “game-assessment” integration theoretical framework, strengthening professional support systems, and promoting home-kindergarten collaboration.
