Abstract

Optical fiber fusion splicing, a vital component in optical communication network construction and maintenance, significantly impacts communication quality and performance of power grid. The optical fiber fusion splicing practical training has been reformed for fresh personnel in communications-associated departments in State Grid of China Technology College in response to requirements for career training of State Grid Corporation of China. Nevertheless, traditional teaching strategies struggle to foster enthusiasm among learners, yielding unsatisfactory results. Thus, a learner-centered idea has been implemented, incorporating gamified teaching design into the Optical fiber fusion splicing training program. Elements like spinning wheels, points, rankings, rewards, competition, cooperation, and challenges facilitate active learning in areas covering optical fiber structures, transmission fundamentals, and splicing processes. Utilizing a task-oriented approach, learners can thoroughly grasp the importance of optical fiber splicing, its role in communication operations, network security, and even national defense. Learners can perfect their splicing techniques, share knowledge, and improved their skills through group work and contests. This gamified teaching design is to elevate the practical training quality through a more immersive and interactive learning environment by stimulating learners’ interest, initiative, concentration, and overall engagement. It signifies a fresh development in innovative and efficient training methods for the power grid communication industry.
