In the "Outline of the National Medium- and Long-Term Talent Development Plan (2010-2020)" promulgated in 2010, it is proposed that "by 2020, the overall goal of China's talent development is: to cultivate and create a large-scale, structurally optimized, reasonably laid out, and well-qualified and to establish a comparative advantage in national talent competition, enter the ranks of the world's talent powerhouses, and lay the talent foundation for the basic realization of socialist modernization in the middle of this century". The Outline of the National Medium- and Long-Term Educational Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020) proposes that "by 2020, the modernization of education will be basically realized, a learning society will basically be formed, and we will enter the ranks of a human resources powerhouse", and that we should "make efforts to improve the quality of higher education, and strive to enhance the innovation and development of universities and colleges". We should "strive to improve the quality of higher education, and endeavor to enhance the innovation and service capacity of colleges and universities". It can be seen that deepening the reform of talent cultivation mode and vigorously promoting the cultivation of innovative talents has become a new initiative of the country to promote the sustainable development of higher education in the new period.

China's higher education teaching career has developed rapidly since the reform and opening up, and the cultivation of talents has made remarkable achievements. Along with the continuous progress of society, the requirements for talent training are also constantly updated. Improving independent innovation ability and building an innovative country is the core of the national development strategy and the key to improve the comprehensive national strength. Therefore, as the higher education that bears the important responsibility of cultivating talents, how to adapt to the new requirements, the implementation of innovative education, and the cultivation of high-quality innovative talents is an important issue.

First, the concept of innovative talent cultivation mode

"Talent cultivation mode" is a word frequently used in the field of education practice in recent years, talent cultivation mode refers to the education, teaching and learning mode that is selected or conceived to achieve certain educational goals under certain schooling conditions. The model of talent cultivation refers to the educational and teaching style that is selected or conceptualized to achieve certain educational goals under certain conditions of schooling. This is Liu Mingjun and others in the "University Education Environment Essentials" on the definition of talent training mode, at the same time, he also discussed the talent training mode should be involved in the elements, including: "curriculum system, educational pathways, teaching methods, teaching and learning organization means" and so on. Among them, "the curriculum system is the core element of talent training, while the other elements are to ensure that the curriculum system is a correct and effective arrangement and teaching, so that the training objectives can be put into practice.

Many domestic scholars have conducted research on the cultivation of innovative talents. Li Hong and Han Guangbin put forward four elements of cultivation of innovative talents in higher education in their article "On the Construction of Innovative Talent Cultivation Mode in Higher Education": cultivating students' habit of innovation, cultivating students' curiosity, cultivating students' intuition and insight, and cultivating students' attention. Liu Yao pointed out in the article "Innovative Talent Cultivation Needs to Change Teaching Concepts" that the first step is to change the knowledge-based view of university teaching, the second step is to change the teaching-based view of university teachers, the second step is to change the passive view of students, followed by the change of the content view and the injective view of teaching methods, and the last step is to change the rigid view of teaching.

The spirit of innovation and innovation ability is the focus of talent training in the 21st century, and is increasingly becoming a decisive factor in social progress, economic development and scientific and technological competition. In order to adapt to the requirements of social development, in the past two to three decades, the cultivation of innovative talents has been emphasized by the education of various countries, and has become the basic trend of educational reform in various countries. The so-called innovative talent cultivation mode refers to the higher education mode which is established on the basis of quality education and students' personality development, adopts various educational means to cultivate students' innovative quality, improve their innovative ability and level, and ultimately aims at cultivating innovative talents to meet the needs of the 21st century. Colleges and universities should analyze the goal of talent training mode reform from the market demand, so as to make the reform of talent training mode more targeted, to cultivate high-level, high-quality talents; focus on cultivating students' innovative spirit and innovative ability; adhere to the concept of "broad-caliber, thick foundation" talent cultivation, and strengthen the students' general education.

Second, the construction of innovative talent cultivation mode

1. Reform talent training program, optimize the structure of the curriculum system

Talent cultivation program is a specific, practical form of the objectives and specifications of the training of talents in colleges and universities, which focuses on a college or university's ideology of nurturing and philosophy of education, and is the overall implementation blueprint and the fundamental training of talents in a college or university. It is the overall implementation blueprint and fundamental guiding documents. In the process of formulating and revising the talent training program, it is necessary to grasp the development trend and general characteristics of the future society, so that the talent training program meets the needs of social, economic and scientific and technological development; it is necessary to combine with the characteristics of the local and industrial economic and scientific and technological development, and to form its own distinctive characteristics of schooling. Only in this way can we formulate a reasonable construction blueprint for talent training and build a talent training program that meets the requirements of the times. Therefore, we should grasp the following points in the process of revising the talent training program: (1) adhere to the principle of coordinated development and comprehensive improvement of knowledge, ability and quality. So that students in moral, intellectual, physical and other aspects of the overall development. Students should be trained to have both good moral and ethical qualities, a strong sense of national pride and social responsibility, and the basic skills to serve the modernization of society, as well as a sound mind and a healthy body. (2) Adhere to the principle of optimizing the knowledge structure and curriculum system as a whole. Scientifically establish the cultivation objectives and specifications of each specialty, build a knowledge structure that is compatible with them, scientifically optimize the curriculum system, and reasonably update the curriculum content. (3) Adhere to the principle of strengthening the practice link and emphasizing the cultivation of students' practical ability and innovation ability. Define the requirements of the professional training objectives on the ability, and decompose and implement them into each specific practical link, at the same time, we should do a good job in the organic connection between each practical link, optimize the overall structure, and further improve the practical teaching system. (4) Implement the principle of incorporating the second classroom into the talent training system. A part of important extracurricular science and technology, social practice and other activities will be included in the cultivation program, which will be implemented in a planned and organized manner to stimulate students' interest in scientific research and design creation, and to strengthen the cultivation of entrepreneurial awareness and innovation ability of students. (5) Continue to implement specialized education with special characteristics. On the basis of further broadening the caliber of majors and enhancing adaptability, implement professional education with characteristics. Through interpenetration, cross-fertilization and expansion of outreach, it will meet the diversified needs of economic development.

2. Reform the teaching mode, improve the teaching objectives

A relaxed environment is conducive to the students in the vast ocean of knowledge to freely seek new knowledge, in the rich social practice independently of new creations, in the specific life practice training and enhance the ability to innovate. Therefore, we must reform the current teaching mode of colleges and universities to strengthen the cultivation of students' ability, especially their innovative ability.1) Open teaching; 2) Operational teaching; 3) Stimulating teaching; 4) Encouraging teaching; 5) Guiding teaching. Focusing on the requirements of talent cultivation objectives, the overall requirements for the ability structure in the cultivation objectives are decomposed into sub-objectives, which are implemented in each specific practical teaching link, focusing on cultivating students' practical ability and innovation ability.
