Abstract

Aiming at the problems existing in the traditional teaching mode of the course “Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics”, such as abstract teaching content and insufficient combination with practical applications, this study systematically analyzes the problems in current teaching and proposes targeted reform strategies based on the concept of Outcome-Based Education (OBE). Therefore, this paper discusses from three dimensions: optimization of teaching content, innovation of teaching mode and reform of examination mode, and puts forward specific measures such as customizing teaching content according to professional needs, integrating practical cases to enhance applicability, and adopting problem-oriented teaching methods. Through teaching practice, it is proved that the reformed curriculum significantly improves students’ learning interest, knowledge application ability and innovative thinking, which provides reference experience for college mathematics curriculum reform.
