Improved the academic performance of students at the EAST University of Heilongjiang Province, China, to generate teaching input and help students develop their ability to participate in class and creative thinking. A total of 600 students were randomly selected in this study, and the collected data were analyzed by descriptive correlation design and social science statistical package (SPSS). The results showed that the respondents were 18-20 years old, mainly female (64.2%), Sophomore (67.0), cognitive participation (2.936), emotional participation (3.03), and Risk (2.897). Curiosity (2.887), Imagine (2.94) and Challenge (2.961). The study concludes that the improvement of the level of emotional and cognitive participation of college students can effectively promote the improvement of students' creative thinking ability, including Risk, Curiosity, Imagine and Challenge, and ultimately promote the academic performance of college students. In order to enable college students to better develop their ability of participating in class and creative thinking, teachers should take relevant measures in teaching. For example, in order to cultivate creative thinking in class, teachers can establish a positive atmosphere, encourage participation, and provide diversified resources. They should ask thought-provoking questions, promote teamwork, and provide specific feedback. Creating time and space for exploration, encouraging curiosity and teaching creative thinking tools are essential. Students should have the ability to question and explore different points of view and enhance critical thinking. Ultimately, these strategies help students develop innovative skills, broaden their horizons, and become confident, adaptable thinkers.
