Abstract: The blended teaching model that integrates theoretical calculations with interesting practical exercises is an important approach to improving the quality of Raman spectroscopy education. Given the complex theoretical concepts and high teaching difficulty characteristic of this subject, the use of density functional theory (DFT) and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) theory in an interactive and practical teaching format helps students gain a deeper, more comprehensive, and flexible understanding of Raman spectroscopy. This approach not only improves students’ hands-on skills and research innovation abilities, but also provides new strategies for enhancing teaching effectiveness and cultivating professional talents.

Key words: Raman spectroscopy, Density functional theory, Finite-difference time-domain method, Fun Practice, Teaching model
