To innovate the teaching of software engineering in order to train student´s creative thinking idea

To train student´s creative thinking idea has important significance. Because the exhibition of creative thinking at software engineering field is very outstanding, so the software engineering is one of the best courses training the creative thinking idea of students. For helping teachers to understand the close relationship between the software engineering and creative thinking, some examples have been analyzed, the examples show that creative thinking drive the development of theoretical knowledge of software engineering. “The teachers should strengthen the creative thinking idea of students while imparting software engineering knowledge” is put forward. In order to strengthen the creative thinking idea of students, the teaching innovation of software engineering should carry on. The concrete contents (about innovating teaching content, innovating teaching methods, innovating examination content and mode) are introduced.
