To address the shortcomings of traditional vocational education in terms of practical engagement and interactivity, this study focuses on the course raw material preparation and cement production. An innovative instructional model was designed and implemented, integrating virtual simulation, immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences, and a smart learning platform. Built around a four-stage process–train-learn-compete-evaluate–the model emphasizes task-driven learning and competency-based development. The platform records students’ operational behavior in real time, enabling full-process, visualized, and data-driven teaching management and precise performance assessment. Teaching practices have shown that this model significantly improves students’ hands-on skills, learning initiative, and professional competence, while enhancing instructors’ ability to deliver targeted feedback in a timely manner. The results provide a replicable and scalable instructional framework for advancing curriculum reform in vocational education under the smart education paradigm. © 2025 by the authors; licensee Modestum.
