In higher education, cultivating innovative thinking is an important goal to university students. The research-oriented teaching model, as an innovative pedagogical approach, aims to foster students' scientific inquiry and creativity by guiding them to participate in scientific research and solving real-world problems. This paper analyzes the impact of the research-oriented teaching model on the development of students' innovative thinking, identifying five primary effects: the stimulation of innovative thinking; the transformation of thinking patterns; the enhancement of thinking; the articulation of creative ideas; the integration with reverse thinking. However, the implementation of the research-oriented teaching model faces several challenges, including these issues: the insufficiency of resources and facilities, the limitations of teaching capacity and time availability, the pressure on students from projects and time management. With regard to these three questions, this paper puts forward corresponding solutions from the perspectives of re-sources, faculty construction, structure of courses and projects.
