ABSTRACT

Rural Revitalization is an important part of the national strategy in the new era. Environmental Design serves as the core technical support for improving rural living environments, reshaping industrial spaces, and passing down local culture. The quality of talent training directly affects the scientific nature and sustainability of rural construction. At present, there is a shortage of high-quality compound talents, and the single-discipline training model cannot handle the complex problems of rural areas. This has become a key bottleneck that limits industry services. This article is based on Complex Systems Theory and Constructivist Learning Theory. By analyzing the needs of Rural Revitalization and the existing shortcomings in training, it proposes a modular matrix cultivation mode of "problem-oriented, interdisciplinary core, multi-scene practice, and diverse evaluation". It focuses on key aspects such as training objectives, core competencies, curriculum system, teaching mode, and evaluation mechanism. It systematically explains the theoretical foundation, core structure, implementation path, and support mechanisms. The results show that this mode can effectively improve students' comprehensive ability to solve complex rural problems. It provides solutions and ideas for the transformation and upgrading of university Environmental Design majors. It helps cultivate compound innovative talents who "understand rural areas, know design, are good at coordination, can implement, and know operation". The innovation of this research lies in building a theoretical model for interdisciplinary integration cultivation of Environmental Design oriented to Rural Revitalization. It proposes an implementation path that combines a modular matrix curriculum system with progressive practical teaching. It emphasizes the construction of a school-local collaborative education community. It has strong theoretical value and practical guidance significance.
