Under the National Innovation-Driven Development Strategy, establishing a scientifically sound evaluation system for normal university students’ innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities serves as a crucial foundation for optimizing innovation education models and enhancing teacher candidates’ comprehensive competencies. 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.
