ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of society, mental health is a common concern, and the cultivation of innovative practice ability of psychological teacher trainees becomes particularly important. However, according to the preliminary return visit, the graduates cultivated by the traditional teaching mode need help in two-way interaction with the employment organizations. In this paper, we analyze the teaching quality of the innovative practice classroom through the Questionnaire of Applied Course Experience to further clarify the specific problems of the creative practice course for psychology teacher trainees based on exploring the teaching practice of the mental health education course. Through exploring mental health education courses, we've created an "experiential learning circle" teaching model. Under the guidance of "student-centered, output-oriented, and continuous improvement" principles, this model stimulates students' innovation and practice. By revamping our teaching concept, method, and evaluation, we've fostered teaching reform and talent cultivation for teacher education. Moreover, we've provided technical paths and case studies to promote innovative practice classrooms.
