An Experimental Research Report on Opening of Innovation Thinking Training Course in Middle SchoolAbstract:The ways to implement innovation education are various. Our experimental research shows that the innovation thinking training (ITT) course established from the school-based curriculum is a very efficient fomi to cultivate the students?innovation consciousness and spirit, and to improve their creativity of thinking. According to the students?psychological developing level and practical ability ,the ITT course refers to a very complicated process. First, we must combine our class teaching with the students?individual innovation ability. Then teach them systematically the basic creative theory, principle and main ways of thinking. Finally cultivate their innovatory spirit and creative thinking by giving some examples and organizing some research activities. This is a kind of course which mixes the students?creative activities and class teaching together. Its purpose is to let the students understand the importance of innovation, realize that everyone has his potential of innovation, and receive some prime education about invention and creation. Also, let them learn some basic skills and experience the enjoyment of success from innovation, and then set up their own innovation consciousness and spirit. Moreover, cultivate their qualities of smooth thinking, flexibility and originality.The ITT course itself is a kind of creative activity, without any fixed mode and unchangeable method. But in order to achieve the goal of teaching, accomplish the teaching contents, and seek unity of the teaching, we have compiledunified teachingmaterial andcontents,and fixed an open teaching mode?dual five links, during the course of implementation. The whole course can be divided into 10 units. We have had many tests before and after its opening so as to examine the teaching efficiency. We have also made very careful statistics and analysis. This course is intended for junior students of Grade one. The teaching period is one year and the students are given classes once a week. The students should take part in some individual innovatory activities. The final evaluation to the students is 揟he EvaluationList of Results of ITT CourseThe results of the experiment show that the opening andimplementing of this course is a shortcut to cultivate the students?innovation consciousness and spirit. It plays a very important part in training the students?ability of innovation, and it is warmly received by the students. It also shows that the innovation thinking?training during the period of basic education has a long way to go. It is badly in need of the guidance of theory suited to the primary and high schools andmore qualified teachers. Meanwhile, such teachers as are very creative, devoted to their work and have high aspirations are needed and they are expected to act as pioneers in this field.
