colleges. Due to the continued enrollment in recent years, teachers’ teachingworkload increases rapidly, resulting in many teachers having no time to innovative trainingmode and methods and having to use traditional methods to complete the teaching task.Teachers lack the sense of innovation, so they will not produce creative teaching results andscientific research. On the other hand, the curiosity and imagination of students are oftenignored in education; many students are only used to passively answer the ready-madequestion, lacking the ability to take initiative to propose new issues.D.
