Abstract:
With the deepening of the construction of the territorial spatial planning system, the work scope and professional quality requirements of urban and rural planning have also changed. Existing urban and rural planning professional education faces challenges like disciplinary boundaries, professional barriers, knowledge gaps, and a disconnection from practice. To align with social demands and market tests, the curriculum system for urban and rural planning professionals must undergo gradual reconstruction. The virtual teaching research studio, a pedagogical community based on an information technology platform, presents an opportunity to the transformation of professional education. Firstly, from the four dimensions of knowledge, skills, methodologies, and values, we elaborate on the requirements for the current transformation of professional education to adapt to urban planning industry changes. Subsequently, we review the development of virtual teaching research studio in the key field of territorial spatial planning since 2021 and analyze the positive impact of platform construction on the transformation of urban and rural planning professional education. Furthermore, we put forwards the implementation path of urban and rural planning professional education transformation based on virtual teaching research studio platform construction. It reveals that:(1)A knowledge dissemination framework based on knowledge mapping helps break down professional barriers and course clusters.(2)The establishment of joint teaching teams, both inside and outside the university, aids in promoting the integration of industry, academia, research, and education, as well as technological updates. (3)Sharing teaching resources in virtual teaching research studios enhances the practicality of design courses, while the interaction with physical teaching and research labs facilitates modular teaching implementation.
