“Database Principles and Applications” is a compulsory basic course for undergraduates majoring in information science and computer science. This course is rich in teaching content, strong in theory, and closely related to actual operation. Therefore, this course has always been regarded as “difficult for teachers to teach and difficult for students Learning”. The author tried to use the mixed teaching mode of combining classroom and “Massive Course” to construct a teaching measurement evaluation scale and measure the results of teaching reform. After analysis and research, it reveals that the “massive course” mixed teaching model has a significant positive impact on the teaching course of “Database Principles and Applications”, which help solve the problems of less class hours and more content in the course. This article adopts an empirical research paradigm, conducts teaching reform experiments in the three grades of two schools, and analyses the results from both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Finally, it concludes that the mixed teaching model of “massive course” is beneficial to improve teaching effective. The full article firstly introduces the characteristics of the “Database Principles and Applications” course and the characteristics of the “massive course”, and then introduces the basic situation and result analysis of the course reform, and finally draws a conclusion.
