Exploration of Cultivating Students' Innovative Thinking Ability in University Mathematics Teaching

Resumo

Against the backdrop of the development of emerging engineering education and the high-quality advancement of higher education, cultivating innovative talents has become an important objective of curriculum reform in universities. As a fundamental course for science and engineering education, university mathematics plays an irreplaceable role in the training of students' logical thinking, the improvement of problem-analysis abilities, and the development of innovative awareness. In response to the existing problems in university mathematics teaching, such as relatively single teaching models, insufficient integration of theory and practice, and weak student learning initiative, this study is based on the teaching practice of university mathematics courses and explores multiple aspects, including the cultivation of mathematical literacy, the reform of teaching methods, the optimization of teaching content, the construction of information-based teaching platforms, and the establishment of diversified evaluation mechanisms. Teaching practice shows that through the implementation of student-centered teaching reform, combined with problem-based teaching, case-based teaching, flipped classrooms, mathematical modeling, and blended online-offline instruction, students' interest in learning can be effectively stimulated, their awareness of mathematical applications can be strengthened, and their autonomous learning ability, innovative thinking ability, and comprehensive ability to solve complex practical problems can be significantly improved. The findings of this study may provide useful references for the reform of university mathematics teaching and the cultivation of innovative talents.
