Abstract

Innovative thinking is the key ability to cultivate vocational college students' lifelong learning and adapt to rapidly changing society, and an effective evaluation system helps to understand the level of innovative ability of vocational college students, guide educational practice, and evaluate the effectiveness of innovative education. This study aims to design and implement a comprehensive evaluation system for vocational college students based on innovative thinking cultivation, which includes five dimensions: problem-solving ability, creativity, teamwork ability, future orientation, and communication ability. Through experiments, the impact of this evaluation system on the improvement of vocational college students' innovation ability is explored. In the first year of a certain vocational college, two groups of students were selected, and there was no significant difference in their innovative abilities in various aspects. One group was trained in a traditional way as a control group, while the other group was trained in an experimental group using an innovative thinking evaluation system to implement various dimensions of cultivation. One year later, compare the innovative thinking abilities of the two groups; Compare the experimental group before and after cultivation; Simultaneously conduct self-evaluation of the experimental group and comparison with teacher evaluation. The results showed that through the evaluation system designed in this experiment, vocational college students significantly improved their evaluation scores in various dimensions of innovative thinking, further verifying the effectiveness of the innovative thinking evaluation system in providing comprehensive evaluation of students' innovation ability, and proving that implementing the evaluation system can significantly promote the improvement of vocational college students' innovation ability. Research has shown that the comprehensive evaluation system for cultivating innovative thinking among vocational college students has a significant effect in providing comprehensive evaluation of students' innovative abilities. This will provide guidance for educational practice and provide powerful tools and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of innovative education.
