Abstract: In the context of diversified vocational training scenarios, traditional static evaluation is difficult to control teaching quality fluctuations and anomalies in real time and accurately. Therefore, a method has been proposed to integrate the backpropagation neural network model with an improved particle swarm optimisation algorithm. Quantify the impact of input features on teaching quality through MIV, screen key features to reduce data dimensionality, and dynamically adjust the search step size of particle swarm optimisation algorithm accordingly. Capture nonlinear relationships through backpropagation neural networks and improve global optimisation capabilities through particle swarm optimisation. In precision testing, the accuracy of the research model on the test set reached 99.56%. The error rate significantly decreased from the initial 4.02% to the final 2.13%, indicating its strong generalisation ability. This model solves the problem of failing to identify potential teaching risks. It provides a new method for teaching quality management in vocational training.
