The fundamental connotation of innovation, creation and entrepreneurship is the same, and the ultimate goal is to turn ideas into reality. The difference is that innovation focuses on good methods, creation focuses on good works, and entrepreneurship focuses on good business opportunities. Students who participate in innovation, creation and entrepreneurship activities can be defined as "makers".
In the process of the transformation from traditional agriculture to modern agriculture, a large number of modern agricultural talents with knowledge, technology, management and good management are especially needed. In this regard, agricultural higher vocational education is duty-bound.
However, compared with the strong demand for modern agricultural talents, there are three practical problems to be solved urgently in the educational object and subject level of agricultural higher vocational education: one is unwilling to learn agriculture, the other is that learning agriculture does not love agriculture, and the third is that the ability to promote agriculture is insufficient. To solve these three problems, we must first change the educational concept, and seriously think about how to stimulate students' interest in learning agriculture, how to cultivate students' interest in learning agriculture, and how to help students establish their interest in developing agriculture. Wenzhou vocational college of science, Zhejiang Province, as a higher vocational college based on the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, closely follows the characteristics of "agriculture" and relies on the advantages of integration of agriculture and education. It stimulates students' interest in learning agriculture with innovative education, cultivates students' interest in learning and loving agriculture with creative education, guides students to establish their interest in developing agriculture with entrepreneurial education, and explores a new way of modern agricultural maker education integrating innovation, creation and entrepreneurship education.
Establish a "tutor+project+team" training system, so that students can carry out professional learning with interest and cultivate professional innovation consciousness.
Relying on the characteristics of the integration of agriculture, science and education, we should give full play to the scientific research advantages of agricultural disciplines, promote scientific research to feed back teaching, transform scientific research advantages into advantages of cultivating innovative talents, and carry out the practice of cultivating innovative talents with "tutor+project+team" as the main form and application-oriented results.
The teacher guides the students in their studies. Higher vocational students' awareness of independent innovation is relatively weak. To this end, the college has established a "tutor+project+team" training system, with students as the main body and teachers providing technical guidance, and launched more than 500 student scientific research projects such as "Effects of different fertilizer treatments on the growth and yield of three vegetables" and "Screening test of new pepper varieties cultivated in the open field", with more than 3,000 students participating, and cultivating students' innovative consciousness through scientific research and innovation.
Teachers create with life. The problem of entrepreneurship education in many schools is empty talk and lack of action, especially action with exemplary function. The college strongly supports teachers to carry out innovation and entrepreneurship activities, with teachers as the main body, students as the auxiliary, teachers as makers, and students as makers. Only this year, there have been 2 1 maker studios such as Huahai Plant Creative Studio and Internet Plus Intelligent Agriculture Innovation Studio, and each maker studio has absorbed 5 to 10 students. Teachers and students work together to turn creative and innovative ideas into entrepreneurial practice and make entrepreneurial education vivid.
Teachers and students create * * *. It is not only a teaching form, but also a learning form for students and teachers to carry out professional innovation and practice together. Wu Chuncheng, director of the low-voltage electrical equipment teaching and research section of the college, led the team of teachers and students to jointly tackle the problem of "cooking machine" and successfully put it on the market; The students' "Green Pavilion Soilless Hydroponics Project" and "Parent-child Farm Project" have successively won the special prize of Zhejiang Higher Vocational College Challenge Cup and the first prize of the first national e-commerce "Creative Innovation and Entrepreneurship" College Student Challenge.
Create an experimental training teaching system integrating "training, research and innovation", create the fun of participating in innovative practice and cultivate students' innovative ability.
The college has established an experimental training room integrating training, scientific research and innovation, which organically integrates students' professional experimental training and professional innovation on a platform, effectively promoting the application of what they have learned and entertaining education.
Relying on Wenzhou seedling science and technology park. The student practice area of seedling science and technology park consists of 36 greenhouses with a total area of 52 mu. Follow the principle of new varieties, new technologies and new models, and cultivate modern farmers who know technology, management and management. At present, there are more than a dozen maker teams engaged in the practice of cultivating new varieties. Among them, the smart greenhouse project developed by Cui Xiaojun and his students can control the smart greenhouse system through mobile phone applications and Internet pages.
Relying on the training platform for agriculture-related majors. All agriculture-related departments have established professional practice platforms, and the Department of Agriculture and Biotechnology has built a modern agricultural park. Under the guidance of the tutor, the senior students will introduce new varieties and technologies for R&D and entrepreneurship, and the junior students will be trained in the greenhouse contracted by the senior students. The Department of Landscape Architecture has an agricultural creative park and a plant intelligent workshop to realize the integration of R&D, cultivation and marketing of students' plant hydroponics. Relying on these platforms, student inventions such as "three-dimensional vegetable cultivation rack for family production" and "intelligent energy-saving device for gas stoves" have all applied for national patents.
Relying on the government institute to build an innovation and entrepreneurship platform. In order to effectively expand the education platform, the College has successively established a joint education and training platform with Zhejiang SME Bureau, Wenzhou Municipal Party Committee Organization Department, Wenzhou Agriculture Bureau and other units, and opened up the only SME entrepreneurship base in Zhejiang Province, the first undergraduate entrepreneurship research base in China, Wenzhou College Students' Modern Agricultural Pioneer Park, Wenzhou Youth Entrepreneurship College and other schools, opening up channels, broadening space and striving for innovation, creation and entrepreneurship education. Students practice on these platforms, creating new achievements such as "pulse painting" and "angel greenhouse", and incubating more than 30 small and micro enterprises involved in agriculture from these new achievements.
Relying on the three-dimensional entrepreneurship education model of "point, line and surface", we will guide students to strive to be family farmers and establish an interest in developing agriculture.
Based on the characteristics of agricultural industry and post, the college leads the reform of professional education with entrepreneurship education from three dimensions: individual needs, main teaching lines and platform construction, and cultivates students' interest in being family farmers.
Grasp the "points" of individual education and cultivate students' awareness of agricultural entrepreneurship. Carry out the experiential education of "listening, watching, doing" and "listening" in the lecture halls of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, so that students can understand modern agriculture; "View" modern agriculture, so that students can deeply experience modern agriculture; "Do" social practice, and launch the activities of 100 experts and 1,000 students to serve 10,000 farmers, so that students can achieve a career and aspire to develop agriculture.
Closely follow the "line" of talent training and cultivate students' agricultural entrepreneurial ability. First, the goal is guided, and the goal of cultivating modern agricultural entrepreneurial talents with culture, technology, management and good management is clear; Second, the scheme reform, the implementation of "platform teaching, professional diversion, job training" teaching scheme reform; The third is knowledge construction, that is, to build a curriculum system that is connected with posts, majors, industries and society.
Expand support to ensure the orderly development of entrepreneurship education. Integrate the resources of government, schools and enterprises, strive for government policy support, and promote the Wenzhou Municipal Government to issue the Interim Measures for Supporting Agricultural Entrepreneurship and Employment of College Graduates; Improve the school system guarantee and issue the Guiding Opinions on Strengthening Entrepreneurship Education in Talent Training; Integrate enterprise (base) resource support, and integrate related enterprises and base resources through the way of "mentor+project+team+base+farmer" to achieve a win-win situation between schools and enterprises. Biruo Corn Project has been practiced in Zeya, Yongjia Ancient Temple and other places in Wenzhou, which not only cultivates students' innovation and entrepreneurship ability, but also promotes local farmers' income, and truly realizes "writing papers on the earth and leaving the results in farmers' homes".
