With the widespread application of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology in various fields, the demand for cultivating GIS professionals in higher vocational colleges has become increasingly urgent. However, the current teaching of GIS technology and application courses faces numerous challenges and fails to meet the requirements of industry development. This paper analyzes the current status of GIS course teaching in higher vocational colleges, identifies deficiencies in the curriculum structure, teaching methods and content, and student capability cultivation goals. It proposes targeted project-based teaching reform strategies, including the construction of a “task-driven + modular integration” curriculum system and the development of real-world oriented project resources. The implementation effects of the reform are also analyzed, aiming to provide references for improving the teaching quality of GIS courses in higher vocational colleges and cultivating high-quality applied GIS talents.
