Abstract
In the course of civil engineering drawing, an integrated “Learning-practice-innovation” teaching approach has been adopted. This method aims to enhance students’ grasp of professional knowledge and their ability to apply it comprehensively by merging theoretical study (learning), hands-on practice (Practice), and innovative application (innovation). This paper thoroughly examines this approach through course design, teaching implementation, case studies, and evaluation of teaching outcomes. Research findings indicate that the “learning-practice-innovation” model effectively overcomes the traditional teaching limitations, which often separate theory from practical application. It significantly boosts students’ drafting skills, fosters innovative thinking, and strengthens teamwork awareness. During instruction, students are encouraged to synthesize knowledge via representative case studies and creative projects. By employing a variety of teaching methods and assessment criteria, the positive impact of this model on student learning outcomes is well-documented. Based on the analysis of teaching practices, this paper offers several recommendations for future teaching reforms. It also explores potential development areas, including the integration of emerging technologies, cross-regional comparative studies, and other relevant aspects.
