Digital Empowerment, Dual-Track Talent Cultivation, Inheritance and Innovation -- Teaching Reform of Intelligent Classrooms for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Higher Vocational Colleges

Against the backdrop of a digitalized and aging society, vocational education in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is confronted with unprecedented opportunities and challenges. The teaching team of TCM courses in our college has conducted an in-depth analysis of the teaching drawbacks characterized by "four neglects and four emphases" in traditional teaching. By leveraging digital technology, the team has fully demonstrated the dual values of TCM as a discipline, namely its medical and humanistic values. Firstly, based on the principles of "integration of two lines, interconnection of three stages, and mutual reflection of virtual and real elements", the team has built intelligent learning spaces and digital resources for TCM courses. This has enabled the creation of a deep learning environment that supports the implementation concept of "simultaneous cultivation of professional skills and moral integrity". The ubiquitous learning resources present a "panoramic" display of the profound connotations of TCM culture, guiding learners to get "close to" TCM. Secondly, relying on the intelligent learning environment and abundant digital resources, a multi-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching model featuring "convergence of four points, advancement along dual tracks, and linkage of four types of classes" has been developed. This model coordinates the mutual promotion of the four elements, namely knowledge, abilities, qualities, and values, guiding learners to step "into" TCM.
