This article explores the problems and dilemmas of innovation and entrepreneurship courses in applied colleges and universities under the background of civics curriculum, including the insufficiency of theoretical research on civics curriculum teaching, the singularity of teaching methods and approaches, and the tendency of polarisation of course evaluation methods. In response to these problems, the article proposes the exploration of teaching reform with four focal points, including the construction of a two-way intercommunication teaching reform model in the four dimensions of information processing, interpersonal relationship, personality development and behaviour control. The article stresses that under the guidance of curriculum ideology, innovation and entrepreneurship courses must expand the theoretical research of curriculum ideology teaching, increase the variety of teaching methods, improve the evaluation method, fully inspire the tacit knowledge of college students, timely update the teaching content and establish a new course evaluation system, etc., in order to realise the goal of higher education to cultivate morality and nurture people.
