An Analysis of the Effectiveness of Psychology Education in Higher Education Institutions Based on the ARCS Model

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data and “Internet +” and other technologies and their wide application in the field of psychology teaching in higher vocational colleges and universities, changing the traditional teaching mode and adapting to the characteristics of the times have become the hotspot of the current development of psychology teaching. Based on this, this paper combines the characteristics of psychology courses, builds a psychology teaching design based on the ARCS model, and divides the teaching process of psychology in higher vocational colleges into pre-course, in-course and post-course stages. Subsequently, combined with the theoretical analysis, 200 people related to psychology courses in higher vocational colleges and universities were invited to establish the indexes and contents of the evaluation system of psychology teaching courses in the form of interviews and questionnaires. Using this evaluation system to evaluate the ARCS-based psychology instructional design practice, the overall rating of the target institutions was 3.87, indicating that the psychology education in higher vocational colleges and universities has achieved good quality after applying the instructional design in this paper.
