An Empirical Study on the Effects of Project-based Teaching in Universities—Taking the Project-based Teaching of "Mechanical Engineering Materials and Forming Technology" as an Example

Abstract: Taking the project-based teaching of "Mechanical Engineering Materials and Forming Technology" as an example, this study combines quantitative evaluation with experimental research to analyze the questions of "projectbased teaching effect" and "students忆adaptability to project-based teaching", and verifies the rationality of the experimental results by evaluating students忆attitude and acceptance to university project-based teaching through questionnaire survey. The results showed that the overall performance of students with project-based teaching was significantly higher than that of students with traditional teaching, and students with high learning motivation and ability improved more significantly. Project-based teaching has obvious advantages over traditional teaching mode in helping students achieve good grades, while the overall improvement of students with low learning motivation and learning ability is lower than that of students with traditional teaching. In order to achieve good teaching effect, on the basis of analyzing the characteristics of teaching objects, project-based teaching should carefully select teaching resources, compile teaching content, design teaching process, teach students in accordance with their aptitude,stimulate students' learning motivation, and improve their learning ability in the process of completing the project.
