Backward educational concepts: Although new educational concepts are becoming more and more popular, there are still some backward educational concepts, such as cramming education, which ignores students' dominant position and overemphasizes test scores. These concepts limit the development of students' innovative thinking and ability.

3. Lack of innovative practice opportunities: Due to the limitations of teaching resources, facilities and teachers, some schools cannot provide students with enough innovative practice opportunities, and students lack practical experience and innovative ability.
4. Lack of innovative education courses: Although some schools offer innovative education courses, these courses often lack systematicness and coherence, which can not effectively improve students' innovative ability.
5. Teachers lack innovative consciousness and ability: Some teachers lack innovative consciousness and ability, which can not effectively guide students to carry out innovative activities, and also limit the development of students' innovative ability.
Methods of cultivating innovative ability:
1. Cultivate divergent thinking: divergent thinking is a multi-angle and multi-directional way of thinking, which can help students consider problems from multiple angles and produce new ideas and solutions. Students can exercise their divergent thinking ability through reading, writing and discussion, for example, list as many topics, opinions and evidence as possible in writing.
2. Cultivate curiosity and exploration spirit: Curiosity and exploration spirit are important factors of innovation ability, which can drive students to actively explore unknown areas, find problems and try to solve them. Students can cultivate curiosity and exploration spirit by participating in scientific and technological competitions, social practice and other activities.
3. Cultivate critical thinking: Critical thinking is a way of thinking that examines, evaluates and judges information and opinions, which can help students distinguish right and wrong, true and false, pros and cons and other information, so as to better understand and solve problems. Students can cultivate their critical thinking ability by reading classic works and listening to expert lectures, while paying attention to avoiding blind obedience and conformity.
