Abstract

With the deepening integration of information technology and education, the blended online-offline teaching model has emerged as a major direction in higher education reform. Traditional instructional approaches in courses such as “Installation Engineering Measurement and Valuation” often face challenges including abstract theoretical content, inadequate practical training, low student engagement, and oversimplified evaluation systems. To address these issues, this study utilizes the Xuexitong Learning Platform to explore and implement teaching reforms. The reform is designed to establish a student-centered and competency-oriented teaching framework. Key initiatives include restructuring the curriculum and content, redesigning blended teaching processes, enhancing practical components, and refining assessment mechanisms. Empirical evidence indicates that the Superstar-based blended teaching model effectively increases students’ initiative and participation, improves the efficiency and depth of classroom interactions, and facilitates the integration of theoretical and practical knowledge. It also helps develop students’ core professional competencies-such as blueprint reading, quantity calculation, and cost estimation-while supporting a more comprehensive, objective, and dynamic evaluation of the learning process. This approach not only enhances instructional quality and outcomes in the “Installation Engineering Measurement and Valuation” course but also offers valuable insights for reforming other practice-oriented engineering courses.
