Exploration and Practice on Cultivating College Students’ Innovative Practical Abilities: Integration of Competition, Teaching and Learning, and Empowerment via Digital Intelligence

The “integration of competition, teaching, and learning” model plays a key role in fully mobilizing college students’ enthusiasm and initiative for learning, stimulating their innovative potential, and ultimately achieving the goals of “promoting teaching through competitions” and “promoting learning through competitions.” “Empowerment via digital intelligence” specifically refers to building a flexible, independent, and open new human-machine collaboration environment for college students by relying on advanced digital intelligence technologies. When students are in this environment, their innovative awareness can be stimulated, their practical skills can be honed, and thus their innovative practical abilities can be significantly improved. Focusing on competitions of different forms and contents, such as physics academic competitions, physics experiment competitions, optoelectronic design competitions, and material-related competitions, and relying on digital twin platforms as well as advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology, augmented reality (AR) technology, virtual reality (VR) technology, etc., this paper focuses on exploring effective strategies for cultivating college students’ innovative practical abilities. By building a diversified practical platform, this paper aims to meet the personalized and diversified development needs of college students, comprehensively improve their innovative practical abilities, and, at the same time, inject strong impetus into the all-around development of college students.
