Abstract

As a multidisciplinary and highly integrated subject, Remote Sensing Software Application is a core course for majors in Remote Sensing Science and Technology as well as Geographic Information Science, characterized by its strong practical orientation. This paper summarizes the issues in traditional teaching, including low student engagement, an incomplete assessment mechanism, and insufficient integration of ideological and political education into the curriculum. To address these challenges, a teaching reform approach based on the OBE (Outcome-Based Education) concept is proposed. The course objectives were optimized and used as a guide to elaborate on reforms in teaching content, teaching methods, assessment methods, evaluation systems, and the integration of ideological and political elements. Additionally, the outcomes of the course reform and the broader impact of these outcomes are analyzed.

Keywords: OBE concept; teaching methodology reform; remote sensing software application.
