Independent college is an indispensable part of our higher education system. However, due to its late start, poor school foundation, relatively weak teachers and uneven level of students, the scientific spirit of independent college students is seriously lacking, which is not conducive to the growth of students and the development of independent colleges. First, in a materialistic society, if college students only master professional knowledge and lack independent personality to look at the world and life with scientific attitudes, viewpoints and methods, it is impossible to seek truth from facts, to blindly follow and identify with authority, and to develop freely and comprehensively; Secondly, more than 300 independent colleges in China started late, and the foundation of running a school is inherently insufficient. In order to gain a dominant position in the competition with similar colleges and universities, it is not only the competition of hardware facilities, but also the competition of soft power, that is, the competition of university spirit construction. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to strengthen the cultivation of students' scientific spirit in independent colleges.

Suggestions on strengthening the cultivation of scientific spirit of students in independent colleges

1. Create a strong campus cultural atmosphere

As an extension of classroom education, campus culture has a great influence on students. Therefore, the cultivation of scientific spirit can not be limited to classroom teaching, and efforts to create a good campus cultural atmosphere is also an important prerequisite for cultivating scientific spirit. Specifically, on the one hand, schools should pay attention to optimizing the educational environment in hardware construction. For example, building a "cultural wall" on campus provides a platform for fully displaying the wisdom and imagination of college students; Add a plaque engraved with famous sayings and aphorisms of scientists; Build a student puzzle activity center, and so on. On the other hand, in the process of system construction, the school allows college students to participate in the formulation of systems closely related to their own lives, so that the school system not only reflects the requirements of college students, but also gives play to the initiative of the school in the process of system construction, resisting and getting rid of the influence of unhealthy social trends. Give full play to the role of the school's value orientation in regulating all aspects of college students' daily life in order to cultivate their scientific spirit.

2. Establish a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students.

Teachers' words and deeds, academic attitude, ideology and scientific style can exert a subtle influence on students only in a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students. Therefore, establishing a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students is another important prerequisite for cultivating college students' scientific spirit. First of all, teachers should take the initiative to close the psychological distance between teachers and students. Whether in class or after class, we should approach students, and sincere care can build a bridge to the hearts of all beings, so that students can have a sense of intimacy and trust in their teachers, and then guide them to correct their learning attitude; Secondly, teachers should change the past "spoon-feeding" teaching methods and increase flexible teaching methods such as discussion, inquiry, interaction and discussion, so that students can analyze and solve problems through positive thinking, active exploration and teamwork, thus stimulating their interest in science and cultivating their scientific spirit of seeking independent thinking, daring to question and being fearless of difficulties.

3. Attach importance to cultivating scientific innovation ability from practice.

Practice is the source of innovation, and attaching importance to practical education in colleges and universities is one of the important means to cultivate college students' scientific spirit. Independent colleges should make full use of the educational function of the second classroom, educate students in science and technology, and carry out colorful scientific and technological activities. For example, extracurricular academic science and technology competitions for college students, scientific research training programs for college students, and entrepreneurial plan competitions for college students, etc., colorful scientific and technological knowledge forums, professional academic lectures and entrepreneurial education lectures are held to cultivate students' ability of independent thinking, independent innovation and diligent exploration.

4. Strengthen the integration of humanistic spirit and scientific spirit.

Humanistic spirit and scientific spirit are two complementary spiritual characteristics, and humanistic spirit plays a positive role in promoting the establishment of scientific spirit. In university education, the dissemination and shaping of humanistic spirit is mainly carried out through the teaching of "two courses" with Marxist theory as the core, thus helping college students to establish a spiritual temperament about human existence, human value and moral behavior in the process of accepting and applying humanistic science and culture. At the same time, the teaching of "two courses" with Marxist theory as the core aims to cultivate students' scientific spirit of seeking truth and being pragmatic, skeptical and critical, fearless of difficulties and sincere cooperation, and is an important position to cultivate students' scientific spirit. Therefore, independent colleges should attach importance to the teaching of "two courses", make it better cooperate with the teaching of specialized courses, ensure the integration of humanistic spirit and scientific spirit, and open up effective ways to cultivate college students' scientific spirit.
