“Electrodynamics”, as a core course in physics, holds significant value in cultivating innovative talents for basic scientific research and applied technology. In response to the new demands for basic research in national development and the opportunities presented by changes in scientific research paradigms, the reform of the “Electrodynamics” course is crucial for the cultivation of top-tier innovative talents in the new era. This paper explores the reform measures and practical outcomes of the “Electrodynamics” course construction from several aspects, including restructuring the curriculum content, innovating teaching methods, strengthening practical skills, and deepening value orientation. The reform provides new ideas and practical pathways for the cultivation of outstanding innovative talents in basic disciplines.
