Abstract

In a rapidly evolving world defined by unprecedented challenges, the integration of education, technology, and talent development has emerged as a national strategic imperative. Cultivating interdisciplinary and innovative scientific talents is not only a demand of the era but also a cornerstone for transforming “population dividends” into “talent dividends”. Against this backdrop, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) offers both challenges and opportunities for redefining traditional education models. This study explores the pedagogical practices of the Habitable Earth general science education course, positioning it as a case study to demonstrate how science education can synergize technological empowerment with talent cultivation. From innovations in teaching philosophy to curriculum structure optimization, from faculty team development to talent cultivation strategies, and from classroom interaction to extracurricular experiential learning, this study explores a wide range of initiatives underpinning the integrated undergraduate-graduate education model. These initiatives are examined across multiple dimensions, including content, pedagogy, implementation approaches, and evaluation systems, highlighting how technological innovation can comprehensively empower science education. This integrated undergraduate-graduate education model offers a practical framework to cultivate high-level interdisciplinary talents equipped with innovative thinking, practical skills, scientific literacy, and humanistic values, thereby aligning with China’s strategic goals of integrating technological innovation with science popularization.
