The key to cultivate and improve college students' innovative ability is to cultivate their innovative thinking, provide and create good innovative conditions and environment, and establish and improve relevant mechanisms.

Innovative consciousness and innovative ability are the keys for college students to acquire knowledge. In the era of knowledge economy, the growth rate of knowledge is accelerating, and the degree of acceptance of knowledge is not very important. What is important is the absorption, integration, transformation and operation of knowledge.

What students need to master is the core knowledge with wide coverage, strong mobility and high generalization, which can not be taught by simple language, but can only be obtained through students' independent construction and re-creation. This requires college students' innovative knowledge and ability to play an important role in it.

Innovative consciousness and innovative ability are the guarantee of college students' lifelong learning. With the continuous expansion of the scale of higher education, the function of higher education is changing from elite education mode to quality education mode, and learning is also changing from stage education mode to lifelong education mode. Learning is about to become the first element of a person's survival, competition, development and perfection.

With the infinite expansion of knowledge and the rapid shortening of elimination cycle, the social career of college students will become more unstable. Under the guidance of innovative consciousness and ability, college students have the ability to make use of various favorable conditions after graduation and constantly improve their knowledge and ability structure according to the needs of work, so as to better achieve the effect of self-improvement and adaptation to social development and lay a solid foundation for lifelong education.
