Abstract

Plant landscape design is a crucial discipline within the environmental ecology framework, and mastering its fundamental theories, principles, methods, and skills is of paramount importance to the field of landscaping. However, numerous issues currently exist in plant landscape design courses, including inadequate self-directed learning abilities among students, a lack of practical project experience, and insufficient interdisciplinary integration. Project-driven teaching methodology is a promising approach, this paper explores the necessity of employing project-driven methods in plant landscape design courses and presents practical strategies, including curriculum design, promoting student-initiated learning, emphasizing real-world applications, fostering collaboration and teamwork, and implementing presentation, reflection, and assessment processes. These strategies are anticipated to facilitate improvements in plant landscape design courses, enhance students' practical skills, and develop their overall competence to meet industry demands.
