Based on existing indicator frameworks, we designed a questionnaire and applied exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to screen indicators, reduce dimensionality, and analyze weighting. This process identified key metrics for evaluating pedagogical students’ innovation capacities, ultimately constructing a targeted assessment system for normal university students. The study provides theoretical support for cultivating teacher trainees’ innovative capabilities while contributing to the national innovation strategy implementation.
