A STUDY ON THE CURRENT STATE AND IMPROVEMENT STRATEGIES OF TEACHING METHODS FOR TEACHERS AT CHONGQING BUSINESS VOCATIONAL COLLEGE

Abstract

This study examines the current state of teaching methods at Chongqing Business Vocational College across six key areas: instructional design, teaching practices, practical knowledge acquisition, classroom atmosphere, instructional resources and technology, and assessment methods. A combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods was employed. In the quantitative phase, descriptive statistics and t-tests were were used. Whole-cluster sampling was used to survey all 57 full-time faculty members in the College of Artificial Intelligence, along with isobaric stratified sampling for a questionnaire survey of 60 students from the same college. The results indicated that the lowest levels of satisfaction among both faculty and students were related to the classroom atmosphere (M = 3.97), followed by instructional tools (M = 4.01), and assessment methods (M = 4.11). The qualitative component involved focus group interviews with instructional administrators at various levels, revealing that the primary challenge was the design of teaching and learning. The study concludes by recommending the adoption of student-centered teaching approaches and the effective integration of information technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence (AI) to support instructional management and personalized learning.
