ABSTRACT

In response to issues in the teaching of the "Fundamentals of Probability Theory" course, such as the rigid integration of ideological and political education, abstract theoretical concepts, and a singular evaluation system, the teaching team has developed a teaching model centered on the "Four Transformations" (precise teaching objectives, distinctive teaching methods, modular practical teaching, and integrated assessment evaluation), "Two Integrations" (combining practical problems with probability knowledge, and integrating knowledge impartation with ability cultivation), and "One Unity" (unifying ideological education with course teaching). Through teaching practice, this model has effectively enhanced students' autonomous learning ability, stochastic thinking skills, and comprehensive quality. At the same time, it has achieved significant results in areas such as academic competitions and course pass rates, providing valuable experience for teaching reforms in similar courses.
