The Construction and Practice of a Diversified Curriculum System in Universities

Abstract

As China’s higher education shifts from scale expansion to high-quality development, traditional university curriculum systems are increasingly revealing problems such as structural monotony, rigid course design, and insufficient integration of general and specialized education. These issues hinder the effective cultivation of high-quality, interdisciplinary talent demanded by the new era. Based on the practical context of educational reform in higher education, this paper analyzes prominent structural and systemic challenges in current curriculum systems. Drawing on student-centered teaching concepts, educational ecology theory, and the Outcome-Based Education (OBE) approach, it explores the theoretical foundations and value logic behind constructing a diversified curriculum system in universities. The paper further proposes strategic suggestions such as activating curriculum resource-sharing platforms, optimizing course development and faculty collaboration mechanisms, and building a development-oriented course selection service system. These strategies are tested and validated through practical implementation. The research aims to provide both theoretical support and practical pathways for universities to optimize curriculum structures and upgrade talent cultivation models.
