Abstract

With the rapid development of financial technology and the digital economy, higher requirements have been placed on the data awareness, technical application ability, and practical problem-solving ability of financial professionals in universities. As a practice-oriented course for finance majors, “Course of Application Practice of Python in Financial Scenarios” plays an important role in cultivating students’ ability to use Python for financial data collection, information parsing, and result storage. In response to the problems of scattered knowledge points, fragmented practical tasks, insufficient integration of financial scenarios, and inadequate evaluation mechanisms in course teaching, this article takes project teaching method as the starting point, and combines the five teaching modules of "Understanding web crawlers, Page data collection, Information data analysis, Web crawler data storage, and Web crawler case practice" to construct a project teaching plan with financial data collection tasks as the main line. The plan integrates the analysis of webpage structure, determination of request methods, selection of data parsing methods, CSV/Excel data storage, as well as case studies of A-share data, financial product information, and enterprise financial data collection into the entire teaching process through the process of "task introduction → project analysis → project implementation → collaborative exploration → achievement display → evaluation feedback → reflection improvement". The results show that project teaching method can help promote the transformation of the course from knowledge teaching to task-driven teaching, from local code training to complete project delivery, and from single technology learning to the integration of financial business understanding and data practice ability. It can provide some reference for the cultivation of applied financial talents and the reform of practical courses in the context of financial technology.
