The teaching mode of the innovative automotive manufacturing process is to improve students’ automotive manufacturing technology. In this paper, firstly, the basic principle of the ant colony algorithm is introduced, and the ant colony algorithm is improved and optimized by heuristic function, state transfer probability and pheromone update rule. Then the optimized ant colony algorithm is used as the base algorithm for constructing the ADDIE model. After establishing the ADDIE model, two dimensional indicators of the teaching mode of the automotive manufacturing process, i.e. teaching objectives of the basic course and application course, are mined for the example of the automotive manufacturing process course of L school. The two example indicators proposed are analyzed and illustrated using the example data.
Regarding the basic course teaching objectives, the mean values of A, B, C and D evaluation indicators accounted for 47.73%, 21.46%, 20.17% and 10.65%, respectively. Regarding the teaching objectives of the application courses, the mean values of the four evaluation indexes of A, B, C and D account for 50.24%, 15.75%, 21.05% and 12.96%, respectively. The innovative teaching mode of the automotive manufacturing process based on the ADDIE model is beneficial for students to learn technology in a new way and also for delivering high-quality technical talents to automotive manufacturing enterprises.
