In response to national policy directions and societal development needs,general undergraduate institutions are facing a transformation from a focus on academic talent cultivation to an emphasis on application-oriented talent cultivation.The cultivation of talent in the field of applied psychology needs to highlight the practical aspects of the industry,thereby consolidating the construction of a social psychological service system through talent development.Within the framework of professional courses,research methodology courses serve as a key support in achieving the objectives of cultivating application-oriented psychological talents.This paper,based on the contemplation of addressing the"pain points"in the teaching of research methodology courses in psychology at private general undergraduate institutions,constructs a Critical Inquiry-Based Learning(CIBL)model for the cluster of research methodology courses.The study integrates various educational reform pathways,including the updating of teaching philosophies,innovation in teaching methods,restructuring of teaching materials,expansion of teaching resources,optimization of teaching evaluation,and the exploration of ideological and political education within the curriculum.The paper analyzes the mechanism by which the CIBL model facilitates the achievement of talent cultivation goals and proposes a scheme for testing the teaching effectiveness of this model.
