With the developing of the teaching reform of green building design, during the process of integrating green building courses into the traditional architectural teaching system, the selection of corresponding teaching contents and the setting of courses have become one of the main aspects of the teaching reform. Through the combination of architectural teaching methods and pedagogical principles, this paper takes the cognitive level of green building design as an example to discuss how to form specific educational goals by listing behavioral goals and behavioral patterns, and select specific teaching goals at each teaching level according to the two-dimensional chart constituted accordingly. It is expected that the two-dimensional chart of educational goals will guide the selection of green sustainable curriculum and the choice of teaching content, so as to provide reference for the future teaching reform of green buildings design.
