Existing ancient timber structures in China face wooden component decay and insect infestation issues; there is an urgent need for a large number of professional talents to adopt scientific methods for their protection. Currently, the training of professionals in historic building protection allots inadequate efforts toward developing their competencies in wood species identification and wood property analysis, leading to a notable misalignment between talent training and practical industry needs. Guided by constructivist learning theory, competency-based education theory, and situated learning theory, this study introduces curriculum teaching reform strategies encompassing the construction of curriculum knowledge, the advancement of teaching methods, and the development of practice platforms. Research results aim to address the misalignment between talent training and practical industry needs.
