Construction of a Mental Health Course Teaching Model from the Perspective of Positive Psychology

Abstract

Traditional mental health courses are based on the pathological psychology model and aim to prevent and treat problems, but they do not help students achieve psychological flourishing and realise their full potential. Positive psychology has expanded the concept of mental health to include the experience of positive psychological functioning and thus provides a new direction for reforming the course model. The construction of a teaching model based on positive psychology and its system of evaluation will be carried out in this paper. At the theoretical level, it has redefined the concept of mental health, set the cultivation of positive psychological qualities as the goal, and achieved a deep integration of core theories and teaching logic. The purpose of Element Design is to build a stable content system, integrate experiential immersion and interactive generative teaching, and create a good psychological foundation for students in the classroom. There are many development indicators for the assessment system, and it will also have process-oriented and performance-based evaluations, provide specific feedback for improvement, etc. The goal of this model is to change the direction of mental health education from remediation to development, thus providing a foundation for cultivating good qualities in students and promoting their all-round healthy growth.
