Abstract

Grounded in the principles of Gestalt psychotherapy, this study explores instructional design strategies aimed at fostering graduate students’ innovative capabilities. Using the course Array Signal Processing as a practical framework, key Gestalt principles are translated into a hierarchical-integrative instructional model. The design incorporates diversified teaching resources, supports auxiliary learning maps, and fosters a community-based learning environment tailored to the psychological characteristics of engineering graduate students. Practical implementation demonstrates that this instructional approach significantly enhances students’ abilities in knowledge integration and innovative thinking, offering a replicable paradigm for cultivating innovative talent in the national defense sector.
