A political question in the ninth grade: How do you plan to cultivate innovative ability in your daily life?
"To meet the challenges of future science and technology, the most important thing is to persist in innovation and be brave in innovation. Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity. " It is our glorious historical mission to reform and innovate education and cultivate and improve the innovative ability of the whole nation.

The foundation of the new era is continuous innovation, and the source of innovation is human creativity. Therefore, how to develop and cultivate students' innovative ability has become a major issue in the educational reform of all countries in the world.

First, the possibility, necessity and importance of cultivating students' innovative consciousness

1. Innovative education should be implemented as soon as possible.

The research of educational psychology shows that there is no connection between the intelligence test scores and creativity of highly creative people, that is, there is no direct ratio between a person's creativity and the amount of knowledge he has, and the creativity of people with more knowledge is not necessarily strong, and that of people with less knowledge is not necessarily weak; How much knowledge and intelligence can only determine the level and depth that a person may reach in his creation. These research results show that cultivating innovative consciousness does not depend entirely on how much knowledge you have mastered. This is also the theoretical basis for cultivating innovative thinking from an early age.

Primary and secondary school students are at the best age to form scientific interests, junior high school is the period to form scientific interests, and senior high school is the important period to form scientific ideals. We should seize the opportunity to do a good job in education in these periods.

2. The knowledge update speed is fast, which puts forward higher requirements for innovation ability.

1993, the United States first proposed to build an "information superhighway", which swept the world in just one year. "There are satellites in the sky and optical fibers on the ground", and the information network integrating heaven and earth has become the common goal of the whole world. It can be seen that the direct consequence of the rapid growth of knowledge is the aging of knowledge and the acceleration of updating speed. At the same time, the extensive application of modern multimedia teaching methods has brought great changes to the content and methods of education. If teachers don't update their knowledge in time, will they continue the trinity teaching? A piece of chalk, a book and a pointer can't meet the needs of social development, nor can they cultivate talents with independent opinions and pioneering ability. Teachers must receive retraining, re-education and further improvement, and constantly "recharge" and "replenish oxygen". Innovative education in the era of knowledge economy should start with teachers' knowledge renewal.

3. Develop innovation ability and enhance national competitiveness.

Innovation is the soul of a nation's survival, development and progress, and the driving force of its prosperity. In order to make the Chinese nation stand among the nations of the world, we should develop human resources at a deeper and higher level, create more brilliant scientific and technological development, and make the world sit up and take notice. Therefore, to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must strengthen the construction of innovation ability.

Second, measures to cultivate innovation ability

1. Break traditional ideas and enhance innovation consciousness

With innovative consciousness, we can seize innovative opportunities, produce innovative methods and open innovative thinking. However, the traditional educational thought regards the human brain as a knowledge warehouse, and limits people's thinking within the framework of book knowledge set by teachers. In addition, some school norms seriously restrict the healthy development of students' personality. Pedagogy tells us that the cultivation of creative ability is closely related to personality. People who obey for a long time will not be creative at all, but will only be "enslaved" as Einstein said: "I think it is the worst thing for a school to manage students with intimidation, pressure and authority. It destroys students' deep feelings, sincerity and self-confidence, and it develops students' docile character. " Therefore, we should re-examine some of our educational norms, liberate students and let them dare to think, speak and do. One way is praise-if you want students to show good character in a certain aspect, you should praise him in a certain aspect, enlarge and sublimate his advantages, let his shortcomings be overcome in the development of advantages, and let him grow up healthily with self-esteem. People often compare teachers to gardeners. The gardener's job is to fertilize and prune, but it is by no means for you to improve a rose into a rose.

2. Reform the examination system and establish an innovative mechanism.

For a long time, China's education, especially basic education, has formed an educational activity mechanism with examination as the center, scores as the standard and enrollment rate as the goal. From primary school to university, students have to face numerous exams. Teachers teach, students learn, what they take in the exam, forcing students to follow the standard answers without any creative play. As a result, most students get some undigested and incomprehensible knowledge. Under this educational mode, students' practical ability of applying knowledge to solve problems cannot be properly cultivated. Therefore, we should reform the entrance examination system, select talents in an eclectic way, realize the "four transformations" and establish an innovative mechanism.

The first is to change the evaluation goal with the enrollment rate as the core to the evaluation goal of all students' all-round development.

The second is to change the evaluation method based on examination into comprehensive investigation, comprehensive evaluation and multiple evaluation.

The third is to change the evaluation form based on absoluteness, finality and outcome into relativity, diagnosis, formation and process.

The fourth is to change the course test scores and enrollment rate as the only standards, and to be a diversified and characteristic evaluation standard based on educational purposes, basic education tasks and training objectives.

3. Pay attention to personality cultivation and create an innovative atmosphere.

Although the cultivation of people's creative ability is inseparable from education, if education is improper, the result will be counterproductive. Suhomlinski, a famous educator, said: "Human personality is the most complex alloy which is composed of physical strength, intelligence, thoughts and feelings, will and emotion. Without understanding all this, there will be no education. " Creating a relaxed atmosphere in which personality can develop itself is an indispensable and important condition for developing people's creativity. To suppress individual freedom is to suppress creative desire and bury creative talent.

In order to create an innovative atmosphere and cultivate students' personality, "three combinations" should be achieved.

One is the combination of popularization and improvement: on the one hand, improve the overall quality of education and teaching, on the other hand, pay attention to cultivating students with development expertise.

The second is the combination of generality and individuality: on the one hand, we must ensure that all students form the most basic moral quality and basic academic ability, and at the same time, we must develop different resources for each different personality and implement teaching in accordance with their aptitude.

Third, the combination of norms and choices: on the one hand, it is required to instill common values, common moral norms and unified basic knowledge into students, on the other hand, it is necessary for students to learn to choose and give play to their own advantages, learn to judge and analyze things with their own minds, and form dialectical thinking methods.

4. Broaden knowledge horizons and lay a solid foundation for innovation.

In the era of knowledge economy, there are two major trends in the development of knowledge: one is breakthrough, and the other is integration. Breakthrough can produce new knowledge, and integration can also produce new knowledge. No matter whether it is breakthrough or integration, it is inseparable from the spirit and ability of innovation. Innovative education should adjust the teaching content according to this development trend, reduce the weight of memory knowledge, and increase the content that is helpful to improve analytical ability and creative ability; Lighten some difficult academic burdens, let students have time and conditions to get in touch with nature, participate in social practice, care for and meet various needs of society through their own creative labor, and enhance the enthusiasm of creative learning. It is also necessary to strengthen the cross-infiltration of disciplines, broaden students' knowledge, merge some closely related disciplines and lay a solid foundation for innovation.

5. Improve teaching methods and cultivate innovative thinking.

Examination-oriented education regards students as passive objects and human brains as fixed containers, and teachers stiffly instill knowledge into students. This kind of "spoon-feeding" and "spoon-feeding" teaching leaves no room for students to think positively, does not allow students to be unconventional in any sense, and inhibits students' initiative in learning and independence in thinking. Innovative education requires respecting students' dominant position in learning, adopting the method of teachers' inspiration, guidance and students' in-depth participation, guiding students to use their brains to find answers to questions, helping students to think and explore independently, cultivating curiosity and thirst for knowledge about problems and new knowledge, and cultivating questioning attitude and critical spirit in active thinking about problems, which requires both learning and learning.

6. Develop emotional intelligence and cultivate innovative quality.

Daniel Gorman, a psychologist at Harvard University in the United States, used the concept of EQ corresponding to IQ for the first time in his book Emotional Intelligence, and thought that among the factors of a person's success, IQ accounted for 20% and EQ accounted for 80%.

Emotional intelligence or emotional intelligence includes people's motivation, interest, emotion, will and personality, which can play an important role in inspiring, directing, guiding, maintaining, strengthening, adjusting and compensating people's creative activities. Emotional intelligence should also be cultivated and improved through education. The essence of developing EQ is to let students learn to be human. Only by learning knowledge and being a man can we innovate better. Therefore, we should change the situation of neglecting non-intellectual factors and life education in the past, attach importance to and cultivate students' hobbies, satisfy students' curiosity, and stimulate students' thirst for knowledge and self-motivation, which can be the source of innovation. It is necessary to help students learn to get along with others and cultivate the spirit of unity and cooperation necessary for students to carry out creative activities; We should help them learn to treat difficulties and setbacks with a correct attitude, strong will and broad mind, and finally form good innovative quality.

Third, follow the principle of "Six Emancipations" and cultivate innovative ability.

In operation, according to Mr. Tao Xingzhi's educational thought, we should strive to achieve "six liberations", that is, liberate students' brains and let them think; Free students' hands and let them do it; Liberate students' eyes and let them see; Liberate students' mouths and let them speak; Free students' time and let them do what they like; Liberate students' space and let them develop freely. In this way, all the work of the school is conducive to the development of students' personality and the cultivation of students' subjective consciousness and innovative spirit. For example, let all students have the opportunity to participate in class management and encourage them to have innovative spirit and achievements in their own organizational management. Establish various cross-class student organizations to give students the opportunity to manage themselves, provide them with a stage to display their creative talents, and let them learn to use all their knowledge independently and serve others.

Fourth, the basic ways to cultivate students' innovative ability

Students' innovative ability can be cultivated in the following ways: first, classroom teaching is the main channel of subjective education; The second is to set up special creative training courses to carry out creative education; The third is to establish campus science and technology organizations and carry out creative invention activities; Fourth, organize small comprehensive classes and carry out creative thinking training activities, such as fully opening extracurricular activities facilities, providing school libraries, laboratories and computer rooms for all students to use, so that students have the information, facilities and venues to carry out their own creative and inventive activities; The fifth is to establish students' own newspapers and radio stations, so that students can apply what they have learned to practical activities, test their knowledge in practice and broaden their horizons.

The future society will be ever-changing, and new knowledge, new things and new problems will emerge one after another. No matter what job you are engaged in, you must have the spirit of innovation and the ability to solve problems creatively. Therefore, innovative education should not only train great scientists and inventors who won the Nobel Prize, but also train thousands of high-quality social workers with innovative spirit and ability for Qian Qian. Basic education is the cradle of the growth of innovative talents. Only by persisting in innovation and being brave in innovation can educators accomplish the important task entrusted to us by history.
