A Systematic Curriculum Design Model for Sustainable Development in Higher Education that Integrates Learning and Practical Application

Abstract

The curriculum knowledge system of higher education has long been unable to integrate teaching, enterprises, and society, nor to align with the needs of local economic and industrial development. This study constructs a sustainable curriculum design model that promotes the integration of systems involving schools, enterprises, teachers, and students, thereby enhancing learning interest and teaching effectiveness. The introduction of the two-way teaching method theory, along with the use of the extended case method and the comparative method for data collection, helps to integrate and expand existing theories and apply them to the actual teaching process. The findings indicate that the clear introduction of curriculum design elements such as course objectives, problem awareness, problem-solving, literacy, interactive teaching methods, enterprise integration, and diverse outcomes effectively improves teaching effectiveness, facilitates the integration of learning and practical application, and promotes industry-education integration. Moreover, it advances the sustainable and lasting development of higher education and provides new thinking for subsequent research.
