“创新是一个民族的灵魂,是一个国家兴旺的不竭动力”。由此可见,提高民族创新素质已成为当代教育的首要任务。但是,我们在认识创新的紧迫性的同时,应该清醒地认识到创新决不意味着我们的学生抛开书本,离开课堂,去搞几个发明或专利,这里所说的创新实为教育。搞发明,或专利是创新,但并不是创新教育的全部。如果说创新是为培养创造家和发明家。那么,创新教育则是为了千万人而非少数人成为发明家,也就是说,创新是一种旨在提高全民族创新精神和实践能力的教育思想和行为。只有明白了这一点,才能把创新教育主阵地定位于课堂,才会有把创新教育落实到每节课的想法和具体教学过程中。 “Innovation is the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible motive force for the prosperity of a country.” This shows that improving the quality of national innovation has become the primary task of contemporary education. However, while recognizing the urgency of innovation, we should clearly recognize that innovation does not in any way mean that our students should abandon books, leave classrooms and engage in several inventions or patents. The innovation described here is actually education. Making inventions, or patents is innovation, but not all of innovation education. If we say innovation is to create creators and inventors. Then, innovative education is for tens of millions of people, not just a handful of people, to become inventors. That is to say, innovation is an educational thought and act aimed at improving the innovative spirit and practical ability of the entire nation. Only by understanding this point can we position the innovation education in the classroom and implement the innovation education in the thoughts and concrete teaching of each lesson.
