ABSTRACT

The teaching mode of Research Methods in Psychology is closely related to the cultivation of psychology professionals. Enhancing the teaching quality of this course is conducive to cultivating innovative talents with solid theoretical literacy and excellent practical skills in psychology, laying a solid foundation for their future academic or professional careers. This study analyzes the problems existing in the current teaching process of psychology research methods, focuses on the reform of the course to promote the combination of theory and practice, stimulate learning motivation, and improve problem-solving ability, introduces the concept of project-based teaching into the teaching of psychology research methods, and constructs a teaching mode based on project-based learning, in order to improve the quality of teaching and promote the cultivation of high-quality talents.
