Optimization of Teaching Model and Design of Intelligent Algorithm for College Students’ Psychological Education Course Based on Cognitive Behavioral Theory

The rapid development of the times has caused information technology to penetrate into students’ lives at an unprecedented speed, which not only changes the way of students’ interpersonal communication and entertainment, but also profoundly affects their spiritual world, and puts forward new challenges for college students’ psychological education. This paper integrates social cognitive theory and behavioral theory to summarize the principles of cognitive behavior. Using knowledge mapping technology, knowledge is strung together using a mesh structure, and the relationship between knowledge points is represented by visualization technology. Applying knowledge mapping to the field of education, the construction of knowledge mapping for college students’ psychoeducation courses is completed sequentially through the steps of identifying resources and tools, sorting out the hierarchical structure of knowledge, creating knowledge points at all levels, establishing the relationship between knowledge points, and associating knowledge points with learning resources. Introducing MinsCourse teaching system, combined with knowledge mapping, obtaining students’ cognitive behavior data and using K-Means algorithm, dividing students’ cognitive behavior. The clustering results show that the samples are clustered into five categories, in which the category with the largest sample size accounts for 27.36% and the smallest category accounts for 10.82%, and the difference between each category is more significant. SPSS software was used to carry out paired-sample t-test on the data of students’ diagnostic and summary knowledge test scores, and the average scores of the pre- and post-tests were 60.92 and 83.93, respectively, and the mean value of the students’ scores after learning was higher than that before they had not learned, so it can be seen that the teaching model of college students’ psycho-educational courses designed by the knowledge mapping in this paper can effectively achieve the purpose of promoting learning through evaluation and improve the level of students’ mastery of knowledge.
