Abstract

By analyzing the urgent demand for digital talents in the current landscape industry and the challenges faced by the traditional teaching mode, this study aims to explore a set of teaching methodology reform solutions based on digital technology to improve the quality of teaching and enhance the practical innovation ability of students. The study firstly describes the application of digital technologies such as CAD/BIM, 3D modelling and rendering, virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR), and geographic information system (GIS) in the field of landscape architecture. Then, the current teaching status of plant configuration and landscape architecture courses is analyzed, and the advantages and challenges of digital technology applications are identified. On this basis, this study proposes a multi-dimensional reform path and practice plan including the reconstruction of teaching objectives and content, innovation of teaching mode, improvement of teaching strategies and methods, as well as the construction of teaching resources and the reform of teaching evaluation, guided by modern educational theories such as constructivism, collaborative learning and project-based learning (PBL). Finally, this study emphasizes the key roles of faculty construction, optimization of hardware and software environment, and teaching management and institutional guarantee in the reform.
