Education and Cultivation of Undergraduates’ Innovative Ability Based on Philosophical Thinking

Abstract

At present, the teaching mode of professional courses is not compatible with the cultivation of undergraduates’ innovative ability. This is an important factor that restricts the cultivation of undergraduates’ innovative ability. To effectively enhance undergraduates’ innovative ability, this paper proposed a method of integrating philosophical thinking into professional courses teaching. Firstly, the dialectical relationship between the philosophical thinking and the cultivation of innovative ability was investigated. Then, the present situation of teaching and learning of professional courses in universities was analyzed. Moreover, the specific suggestions for the teaching reform of professional courses were given. Lastly, combining with a case study, this paper makes an analysis of how to improve undergraduates’ innovative ability by cultivating their philosophical thinking. The results show that the teaching effects and teaching quality are improved. Some useful and important conclusions can be summed up as: Philosophical thinking and innovative ability are dialectically unified. Combining philosophical thinking with professional teaching can cultivate undergraduates’ ability to apply philosophical methodology and effectively improve their innovative ability. Colleges and universities should actively promote the teaching method of combining philosophical thinking with professional course teaching, and give full play to the exemplary role of excellent courses based on this teaching method.
