Innovative education and creative education have the same side, but there are also many differences. Innovative education is put forward to meet the arrival of the era of knowledge economy. Innovative education is not only the reform of methods or the increase or decrease of educational content, but also the repositioning of educational function, the value pursuit of educational innovation and development with holistic and structural characteristics, and the direction of educational development under the background of the new era. Although the orientation of our research is to cultivate the innovative spirit and ability of primary and secondary school students, it will actually bring all-round innovation in future education. We emphasize that the focus of innovative education is not only small inventions and small productions at the operational level, or the cultivation of divergent thinking ability in subject teaching. These still need to be done in innovative education, but apart from these operational problems, it is more important to consider the "soil" and good environment suitable for the growth of innovative talents, which is more important than anything else. This is in line with the basic principles of Marxism, and the environment has a great influence on people, especially on teenagers. Then, can we take over the banner of creative education and engage in innovative education? No, times have changed. Although there is a relationship between innovative education and creative education in the past, it is by no means something that follows the past. Of course, the two are not contradictory, and they are interlinked in many aspects, especially in the basic aspects. I think innovative education is the development and sublimation of creative education under the new historical conditions. We can't split the tradition, but we don't argue and debate on these issues, and it is meaningless to spend time and energy arguing about terms.
The Relationship between Innovative Education and Quality Education
This issue has been clearly stated in the Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Deepening Education Reform and Promoting Quality Education in an All-round Way issued during the National Education Work Conference. It doesn't mean that innovative education should start from a new stove instead of quality education, but that quality education should focus on cultivating students' innovative spirit and practical ability. Some people say that innovative education has pushed quality education to a new level. Innovative education is the soul and core of quality education, and innovative education has found a "grasping hand" to implement and deepen quality education. The quality education in recent years always feels a bit like a tiger eating the sky, and I don't know where to start. First, we should do more activities, including sound, body and beauty, but we think it is not enough to stay at this level. Now I feel that innovative education has grasped a core content of quality education and can become a "grasping hand". Moreover, innovative spirit and innovative ability are easy to refine and operate, which can drive all aspects of quality education. 1999 10 10 On the 20th of October, China Education News reported that innovation is the key to implementing quality education. It has never been mentioned before, but it really makes sense to think about it carefully. First of all, General Secretary Jiang indicated that innovation is a key issue related to the future and destiny of the country. Second, quality education should improve the quality and innovation ability of the whole nation, which is consistent with the goal pursued by innovation education; Thirdly, to implement quality education, we must innovate on a series of issues such as educational concepts, educational ideas, educational systems, educational contents and educational methods. If we don't innovate and stick to the old ways, it will be difficult to implement quality education. Therefore, no matter from the development of the times, the needs of modernization, the needs of education reform, the advocacy of the party and the state, or the goal pursued by quality education, innovative education is to truly implement quality education. As Lv Fuyuan, Vice Minister of Education, said, there are many aspects to deepen education reform and implement quality education in an all-round way, the most important of which is innovative spirit and ability. It can ensure the implementation and deepening of quality education.
