Exploration and Implementation of a New PAD Class Empowered by Multidimensional Smart Teaching Tools

This study introduces a novel teaching model called Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion (PAD), which incorporates multidimensional smart teaching tools aligned with Outcome-Based Education principles. The model is designed to address the limitations of traditional teaching methods by integrating various content and activities suitable for both online and offline environments. A total of 58 students, divided into experimental (n=29) and control (n=29) groups, participated in this study. The effectiveness of the PAD model was rigorously evaluated through comparative experiments involving test scores and a specialized Likert scale questionnaire, which examined changes in students’ self-directed learning, practical application skills, and value cultivation before and after the intervention. Results indicated that students engaged with the PAD model not only achieved higher test scores but also demonstrated enhanced self-directed learning, improved practical application skills, and developed more substantial value qualities. These findings underscore the significance of the PAD Model in enhancing educational outcomes, highlighting its potential for broader application in teaching various disciplines.
