In the digital intelligence era, psychology education faces challenges and requires transformation to cultivate adaptable and interdisciplinary talents. This paper proposes two models to guide this change.

For knowledge-oriented psychology education, a “loop model” is introduced. Based on the self-regulation theory, it divides the learning process into five components: knowledge acquisition, comparator, standard, assessment, and pass. AI can play an important role in each part. For example, as a digital teaching assistant in knowledge acquisition, it breaks through time and space limitations; in setting standards, it enables personalised teaching plans.

Regarding research-oriented psychology education, a “chimeric research” framework is presented. It divides AI-psychology research into “AI for psychology” and “AI of psychology”. The former uses AI to enhance traditional psychological research methods, like accelerating literature reviews and improving hypothesis testing. The latter treats AI as a research subject, exploring how it impacts different sub-fields of psychology.

Overall, these models, guided by outcome-based education theory, aim to cultivate students into problem-solvers. Although the educational revolution is in its infancy, these ideas offer a new perspective on psychology education reform in the digital intelligence era.

In the digital economy era, higher education needs to cultivate creativity–innovation–entrepreneurship (CIE) talents. The Internet marketing course at Wuhan University redesigned its teaching to address challenges in traditional teaching methods.

Based on the MOA framework, the traditional teaching model has issues. In terms of motivation, students lack intrinsic drive as teaching doesn’t consider their interests. Regarding opportunity, limited integration of emerging realities restricts practical application. And for ability, traditional teaching overlooks self-learning and innovation capabilities.

To solve these problems, an innovative trinity teaching method was developed. In the motivation dimension, diverse assignments and peer feedback-based evaluation stimulate students’ intrinsic motivation. The opportunity dimension creates learning chances through a “four-in-one” platform and collaborative activities. The ability dimension focuses on cultivating students’ comprehensive innovative abilities.

The “four-in-one” teaching resource system, including full-process support, immersive teaching, autonomous learning, and integrated experimental platforms, supports the new teaching method. The full-process support resources facilitate five distinct learning stages in Internet marketing course, including the cognitive learning stage, simulated practice stage, application enhancement stage, knowledge expansion stage, and outcome presentation stage.

The course content was reconstructed in five dimensions: theoretical depth, technical rigour, intensive practical application, expansive knowledge, and ideological resilience. The teaching evaluation was also reformed, with peer-based assessment, differentiated assignments, and embedded ideological education.

The new teaching model has achieved positive results, such as high student satisfaction, increased employability, and excellent performance in graduate school admissions and competitions. It provides a practical approach for marketing education reform and talent cultivation in the digital economy.
