Abstract: Landscape Design Methods A（Landscape Structures and Design）serves as an interdisciplinary core course in the talent development system of environmental design. Aligned with the national cultural industry's demands for artistic design professionals and the “New Liberal Arts” construction requirements, this course addresses existing pedagogical challenges including theoretical neglect, excessive skill orientation, lack of critical thinking, imitative practices, and formalistic approaches. Guided by the Outcome-Based Education（OBE）philosophy and student-centered pedagogical objectives, this study proposes optimized teaching strategies featuring comprehensive teaching support throughout the learning cycle, in-depth teacher-student interaction, refined teaching objectives, and restructured curriculum content. A novel pedagogical framework has been developed, characterized by its “Three-Dimensional Cultivation, Four-Integration Model and Three-Stage Progression”. The enhanced instructional approach has significantly increased student engagement and learning efficacy, receiving multiple teaching awards and recognitions in practice. The outcomes substantiate its effectiveness in establishing high-quality classroom environments and its profound impact on pedagogical innovation.
