Aiming at the current teaching situation of software modeling and practice course, combined with the learning objectives of the course, the progressive case teaching method is proposed and implemented. According to the characteristics of the gradual deepening of the course content,the progressive case teaching method selects the cases that are easy to understand and interested by students, and adopts the hierarchical structure to design the cases and decompose the tasks. The latter sub-task of the case solves the problems existing in the former sub-task, and evolves or reconstructs the former sub-task. In the process of guiding students to solve problems step by step, the knowledge points are gradually introduced, so that students can learn from the shallower to the deeper, and establish computational thinking. After the teaching method was implemented in our school, good teaching results have been achieved and the software design ability of students has been generally improved.
