Abstract: LLM-driven agents have led a cognitive revolution in education,transforming traditional static Q&A systems into digital tutors with dynamic knowledge integration and intelligent interaction capabilities.However,existing general-purpose LLMs face significant challenges in the context of master popularization education,including knowledge hallucination,static knowledge representation limitations,and insufficient adaptability of teaching strategies.To address these challenges,this paper proposes the Master Education Cognitive LLM Agent(MECA),chatMaster,based on a three-layer cognitive architecture comprising a perception layer,reasoning layer and action layer.MECA establishes a closed-loop decision-making paradigm of “Intention Perception → Knowledge Reasoning → Educational Execution.”It introduces a dynamic cognitive enhancement mechanism for improving the precision of knowledge generation and personalized adaptation capabilities.In the proposed framework,the perception layer employs a lightweight language model to analyze user intent,while the reasoning layer incorporates an intent-enhanced hybrid reasoning mechanism that integrates domain knowledge,user needs,and teaching strategies for multi-dimensional reasoning.To build a solid data foundation,it develops the first high-quality Q&A dataset specifically for master education information in China,leveraging both human review and LLM-based language understanding.This dataset covers renowned scholars,educators and academicians in Shanghai,focusing on key figures with significant contributions.It encompasses multiple dimensions,including biographical details,academic ideologies,and educational contributions,addressing the lack of high-quality domain-specific corpora in this field.Experimental results demonstrate that chatMaster achieves significant improvements across multiple evaluation metrics,enhancing the cognitive interaction capabilities and precision of knowledge dissemination in master popularization education information.This research provides a generalizable paradigm for constructing educational agents,promoting the evolution of intelligent education towards greater specialization and dynamism.

Key words: Agent system, Hybrid reasoning, Master popularization education, Prompt engineering, Intent analysis
