Micro-project Design and Teaching Practice Based on Sticky Theory

Project-based learning is a student-centered form of teaching in which students are able to construct their own knowledge and reflect on their own learning projects, thereby increasing learning motivation and self-efficacy. Project-based learning has been explored in different contexts and at different stages of school education, from primary and secondary schools to higher education, and has achieved good teaching results. However, project teaching often lasts for a long period and is quite flexible, so it is difficult to cover most of the course knowledge. In new curriculum system, the class hours are greatly compressed, which makes it difficult for teachers to carry out the project teaching effectively. This paper designed a series of micro-projects based on sticky theory by taking the course “Optical Communication System and Network” as an example to facilitate the core knowledge of the course. The paper first introduces the design methods of micro-projects based on content stickiness, and designs the teaching mode of micro-projects based on pattern stickiness, and then applies the methods and the mode to teaching practice. The teaching results show that students have improved their abilities in some aspects, and gained a great sense of achievement in learning.
