Abstract: With the continuous integration of information technology and education and teaching, as well as the gradual increase in demand for music experiences in cultural tourism, intelligent teaching has become an important way to enhance learning experiences and outcomes. To further enhance the personalisation level of music appreciation teaching, this study proposes a teaching recommendation system that better aligns with user needs by combining the Kano model with the collaborative filtering (CF) algorithm. In the specific research methodology, the Kano questionnaire is first adopted to identify and quantify the must-be, one-dimensional, and attractive requirements in teaching. Then, an improved CF algorithm is proposed, which integrates the weights of the above-mentioned requirements into user similarity calculation. The study demonstrates that this method can effectively improve recommendation accuracy and user satisfaction and is also easy to use for beginners.

Keywords: cultural tourism; Kano model; collaborative filtering; CF; music appreciation teaching; personalised recommendation; user satisfaction.
