  Abstract

Background

Given today's information deluge and the swift strides in artificial intelligence, foundational knowledge is readily accessible online. The willingness to take the initiative to learn is obviously more important. At present, project-based learning is widely promoted in the world, and China is no exception, and since 2016, Zhejiang, China, has promoted STEAM education as a promotion curriculum integration. An important starting point for transforming the way you learn. Although project-based learning is widely carried out, there is a lack of quantitative research on the effective organization and implementation of project-based learning and the corresponding learning effects.Educators build and provide learners with supportive learning resources and tailor guiding issues of project-based learning to provide a path to transition from traditional direct teaching to a project-based active learning approach that encourages students to be proactive and seek resources as needed.

Objectives

This study will use the database design curriculum as an example to implement project-based learning, build project-based learning elements, and record students' learning activity data in project-based learning activities, which has 45 students in a junior college in Zhejiang in 2023.

Methods

The study collected data from learning platforms that included various supportive learning resources, including the number of online discussions, the number of tasks completed, video watch time data, chapter learning repetition, the distribution and trend of chapter learning time, teacher surveys, and face-to-face discussions and offline unsupervised learning.

Results and Conclusions

This lab takes database project-based learning as an example and evaluates whether learners can gain real-world practical experience in new learning methods. The analysis of project-based learning outcomes shows that the project-based active learning method enhances students' awareness of the importance of database design, cultivates enthusiasm, and promotes active learning in learning, better cultivate students who can navigate beyond basic knowledge points to embrace multidimensional inventive learning. Experimental data shows that strong positive correlation between high-quality project-based learning and student enthusiasm.
