Abstract

As globalization progresses rapidly, international trade education urgently needs to develop well-rounded individuals with global insights and practical expertise. The Sino-foreign cooperative blended teaching model offers an effective approach to meet this educational objective. This paper explores its application in international trade education, focusing on integrating teaching content, innovating teaching methodologies, and enhancing evaluation systems. By implementing this model in international trade courses and using surveys and in-depth interviews, the study assesses its effectiveness and identifies areas for improvement. The findings reveal that this model efficiently utilizes high-quality educational resources from both Chinese and international sources through a blend of online and offline teaching methods. It cultivates students' global perspectives, practical skills, and cross-cultural competencies, significantly improving their satisfaction and learning outcomes. Additionally, the model demands higher proficiency from teachers in instructional design and technology integration, highlighting the need for enhanced teacher training and support to optimize teaching processes and resource development. This research aims to provide valuable insights for reforming international trade education models and offers potential guidance for innovative teaching approaches in other fields.
