Research and Practice of the “1345N” Innovative Talent Cultivation Model Based on Academic Competitions

培养具有创新能力的高素质人才是高等教育改革的首要目标，学科竞赛是提高学生创新能力的重要途径。重庆科技大学构建了基于学科竞赛的“1345N”创新人才培养模式，以学科竞赛为核心，通过党建引领“三力模式”为学科竞赛提供源动力、助推力和持续力；通过构建“四级”竞赛平台，合理有效组织学科竞赛，提升“以学促赛”和“以赛促学”能效；通过“五维”培养模式，夯实学生的专业基础知识，增强理论联系实际能力，促进学科交叉融合，提升团队合作精神，全面提升创新思维和能力。Developing highly skilled professionals with strong innovative capabilities is a primary objective of higher education reform, and academic competitions play a vital role in fostering students’ creativity and problem-solving skills. Chongqing University of Science and Technology has implemented the “1345N” innovative talent development model, which centers on academic competitions as its core. This model incorporates the “Three-Strength Approach”, guided by Party-building, to provide foundational momentum, driving force, and sustained support for academic competitions. Additionally, a structured “four-tier” competition platform has been established to effectively organize competitions, maximizing the interplay between learning and competition and reinforcing the principles of “learning through competition” and “competition through learning”. The model also employs a “five-dimensional” training framework to strengthen students’ foundational knowledge, enhance their ability to apply theoretical concepts to practical scenarios, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, cultivate teamwork, and comprehensively develop their innovative thinking and problem-solving abilities.
