Abstract In response to the 2023 Ministry of Education directive on pilot reforms in vocational education,which mandates aligning core courses with occupational standards and integrating emerging technologies,this study addresses the disconnection of core courses in pharmaceutical programs from job competency requirements and the deviation in evaluation.Taking the course Pharmaceutical Analysis and Testing Technology as a case study,the research applies the Outcome-Based Education(OBE) approach to modular curriculum redesign.Following a“backward design,forward implementation,and continuous improvement”framework,curriculum objectives were first derived from competency requirements.Subsequently,the curriculum was restructured into a four-stage modular system:Basic Cognition,Specialized Reinforcement,Comprehensive Application,and Innovative Expansion,ensuring both modular independence and progressive cohesion.Innovatively,a“dual-scenario,three-stage”teaching model integrated with PDCA cycles is implemented,and a dual-dimensional“skill-literacy”evaluation system is constructed.Implementation results indicate significant improvements:student satisfaction reached 93%,and job adaptability was enhanced,thereby effectively bridging the gap between talent cultivation and industry needs.This study provides a practical reference for reforming core courses in pharmaceutical-related programs.
