At present, the academic requirements of college counselors are generally raised to master's degree or above, and high education has become an obvious change in the team of counselors. High academic qualifications enable them to have certain professional theoretical knowledge, and they all have independent scientific research experience and can carry out scientific research work. Although there are some differences between counselors and students' majors, their scientific research quality is common, especially counselors have more advantages in ideological education and innovative thinking cultivation of students.
1.2 Close contact as the breakthrough point of innovative education
Professional teachers' teaching tasks are too heavy, coupled with the pressure of scientific research tasks, it is almost impossible to cultivate students' innovative ability at other times. Moreover, professional teachers mainly adopt "indoctrination" teaching method, which requires students to maintain good learning spirit and develop good study habits, and hardly involves students' innovative spirit and ability. The head teacher pays attention to the daily management of students, and it is difficult to play the role of ideological education. The class tutorial system that many colleges and universities are currently trying out can give full play to the role of innovative education. However, because they don't know much about students, it is difficult to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, discover their strengths, and more importantly, carry out professional innovation education for students. Counselors have a natural connection with students and are the ideological guides of students. They can instill innovative ideas and cultivate innovative spirit in their daily lives.
1.3 Diversification as the Training Mode of Innovative Education
Counselors have frequent contact with students, and the educational methods and contents are diversified. Ideological and political education and social practice education have become effective ways for counselors to carry out their work, with strong pertinence and effectiveness. Among them, college students' extracurricular academic and scientific activities are rich and colorful, and the most basic organizer and implementer of these activities is the counselor. Organizing activities is always more appealing and convincing, and students' enthusiasm for participation can be greatly improved, so as to directly achieve the purpose of cultivating innovative college students in activities. However, at present, the advantages of innovative education for college counselors are not very prominent, and the diversified educational characteristics can not be reflected in the work of counselors, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in innovative education.
2 to cultivate college students' innovative ability, the requirements for counselors
2. 1 build a team of counselors who attach importance to cultivating students' innovative ability.
Counselors are pioneers in student work and leaders in ideological and political education for college students. It can be seen that counselors shoulder the task of cultivating college students' innovative ability. Therefore, counselors should change their ideas, guide students out of the misunderstanding of "going to college and learning a skill to find a job", and cultivate innovative talents with all-round development and independent personality.
The role of counselors in the new era has changed, and it is necessary to abandon absolute authority and change the "housewife image" of counselors as guides. Only by establishing an equal and harmonious relationship between teachers and students can we promote students' personality development and stimulate students' interest in innovation. Counselors should be good at using evaluation methods to promote the development of students' creativity. Take students' creative ability as the evaluation standard of education, and reward students with strong creative ability and certain creative achievements. At the same time, counselors should seriously, objectively and timely evaluate the shortcomings and defects of students' own creativity, and patiently teach and encourage students to improve their creativity on the basis of good innovative cognition.
2.2 the combination of innovative education and professional education for college students
Professional education and classroom teaching have their own limitations in the cultivation of innovative ability, and it is far from enough to improve students' innovative ability only by theoretical study in the classroom. On the one hand, specialized courses are the premise and foundation of college students' innovation. First of all, the development of students' innovative ability needs to be based on certain knowledge and skills, emphasizing that this knowledge and skills are comprehensive and comprehensive. The characteristics of professional courses themselves determine that it is helpful to form the systematization of knowledge and skills. On the other hand, the cultivation of innovative ability needs the process of practice and expansion, which requires counselors to give full play to their own advantages, pay attention to strengthening the study and understanding of students' majors, understand the learning needs from a deeper level, educate students according to their professional characteristics and advantages, and combine innovative education with professional education to cultivate innovative talents with professional characteristics and obvious advantages.
The cultivation of innovative ability is very important for students to solve practical social problems, and solving practical problems requires students to have a variety of knowledge and skills, which must be integrated. Combined with professional education, counselors can give full play to their own advantages and let students deeply understand the connotation and extension of the concept of knowledge they have learned through practice. For example, students and professional teachers majoring in economic management are encouraged to actively participate in scientific research and training programs for college students, and go deep into enterprises to participate in social practice, so as to lay a good foundation for future work.
