Abstract: To address the current challenges in fostering innovative capacities among students in western ethnic regions and meet the demand for cultivating top-notch innovative talents, the School of Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences at Guangxi Normal University has developed a progressive teaching framework. By implementing the “Six Openness” and “Four Integration” initiatives, the institution has established a distinctive three-tiered experimental teaching system characterized by four integrations and six openness aspects. This system has been effectively applied in undergraduate experimental instruction, demonstrating significant improvements in students' foundational professional competencies, comprehensive practical skills, and scientific research innovation capabilities. The model serves as a valuable reference for developing chemical innovation talent cultivation systems in western ethnic region universities through textbook compilation and pedagogical reforms.
