Construction Model of “Project-Based Learning (PBL) + Five-Dimensional Collaboration” for User Experience Design Course Group

Abstract

In the digital age, the demand for interdisciplinary talents in user experience (UX) design has driven reforms in university course clusters. However, traditional course clusters suffer from issues such as fragmented objectives, disconnected content, and a gap between industry and education. Based on the concept of Project-Based Learning (PBL), this study proposes a “goal-content-teaching-practice-evaluation” five-dimensional collaborative construction model, which addresses the fragmentation dilemma by reconstructing the collaborative mechanism of course clusters. Taking the user experience design course cluster of a university as the practical object, through over one year of reform verification, the results show that this model can significantly enhance students’ user insight, interdisciplinary collaboration, and full-link design capabilities, and cultivate and deliver “user-centered + practice-oriented” high-quality UX talents to enterprises. The research offers theoretical references and practical paradigms for the development of curriculum clusters in similar institutions.
