Research on the Teaching Reform of "Promoting Teaching and Learning through Competitions" in the Course of Principles and Applications of Embedded Systems: A Case Study of the Embedded Systems Event in the Lanqiao Cup Electronic Design Competiti

This paper explores the teaching reform strategies of "promoting teaching and learning through competitions" within the course of Principles and Applications of Embedded Systems, with an in-depth analysis using the Lanqiao Cup Electronics Competition as a case study. Under traditional teaching models, students often passively receive knowledge, lacking opportunities for practical engagement and the cultivation of innovative abilities. In contrast, the model of "promoting teaching and learning through competitions" ignites students' interest in learning through competitive activities, enhancing their initiative in learning and fostering teamwork skills, which in turn improves the quality of education. The Lanqiao Cup Electronic Design Competition, as a prestigious electronic design competition, offers students a platform to showcase themselves and challenge their capabilities. This paper analyzes the specific applications of the Lanqiao Cup Electronic Design Competition within the teaching of Principles and Applications of Embedded Systems, including the integration of competition content with instructional material, the combination of competition projects with experimental teaching, and the incorporation of competition outcomes into teaching assessments. Practical evidence suggests that this instructional model not only enhances students' practical and innovative capabilities but also promotes the improvement of instructors' teaching methods and strategies, providing new ideas and approaches for the reform of the course on Principles and Applications of Embedded Systems.
