Abstract

This study aims to explore the application and effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing the programming capabilities of college students. Given the current disconnect between computer science education models and industry demands, we propose a reform plan centered on practical experience. Through empirical research, we analyzed the positive impact of PBL on students' technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and teamwork spirit, and offered a series of strategies and recommendations to optimize the implementation of PBL.
