INTEGRATING EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES INTO INNOVATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION CURRICULUM REFORM AND PRACTICE — A CASE STUDY AT THE GUANGDONG ECOLOGICAL ENGINEERING VOCATIONAL COLLEGE

Integrating extracurricular activities into innovative entrepreneurship education establishes a rational and effective linkage between extracurricular and curricular activities, laying a crucial foundation for building a comprehensive university-level innovation and entrepreneurship education system. This paper investigates the current state of innovative entrepreneurship education among students at Guangdong Ecological Engineering Vocational College. The analysis of the results, obtained through a questionnaire survey conducted among students, reveals that the teaching methods in the class are monotonous, course content lacks engagement and practicality, and extracurricular activities, although diverse, lack innovation and yield unsatisfactory results. Consequently, integrating innovative entrepreneurship education into extracurricular activities becomes pivotal in reforming curriculum delivery, transforming traditional teaching modes, and innovating pedagogical approaches, thereby enhancing students' acceptance and satisfaction with innovative entrepreneurship courses. The study's findings indicate that students acknowledge and perceive the integration of extracurricular activities into university-level innovation and entrepreneurship education as an effective means of achieving educational reform objectives. This recognition underscores the positive impact of this integration on the attractiveness and practicality of innovative entrepreneurship courses among students. Thus, it not only contributes to the reformation of curriculum delivery but also promotes innovative pedagogical approaches that can be tailored to Guangdong Ecological Engineering Vocational College, serving as a reference model for deeper reforms in innovative entrepreneurship education within higher vocational schools.

What lies beneath: using student reflections to study the entrepreneurial mindset in entrepreneurship education

PurposeThis research presents and evaluates a method for assessing the entrepreneurial mindset (EM) of students in higher education.Design/methodology/approachThe research considers EM a multi-variable psychological construct, which can be broken down into several conceptual sub-categories. Using data from a master course in entrepreneurship, the authors show how these categories can be applied to analyze students’ written reflections to identify linguistic markers of EM.FindingsThe research reports three main findings: analyzing student reflections is an appropriate method to explore the state and development of students’ EM; the theoretically-derived EM categories can be nuanced and extended with insight from contextualized empirical insights; and student reflections reveal counter-EM categories that represent challenges in the educator’s endeavor to foster students’ EM.Research limitations/implicationsThe commitment of resources to researching EM requires the dedication of efforts to develop methods for assessing the state and development of students’ EM. The framework can be applied to enhance the theoretical rigor and methodological transparency of studies of EM in entrepreneurship education.Practical implicationsThe framework can be of value to educators who currently struggle to assess if and how their educational design fosters EM attributes.Originality/valueThis inquiry contributes to the critical research discussion about how to operationalize EM in entrepreneurship education studies. The operationalization of a psychological concept such as EM is highly important because a research focus cannot be maintained on something that cannot be studied in a meaningful way.

Increasing Student Awareness of Complex Problems Through Systems Thinking: How (Re)Framing Can Lead to Identifying the Core Problem

Within global and interconnected societies, engineers need to embrace complexity and understand the importance of awareness of their choices in the problem definition process. In this practice paper, we propose a framework to increase students’ awareness of choices during problem definition, based on the integration of three frameworks: systems mapping, problem framing, and Cynefin framework. Through application of the frameworks students can identify important elements and interconnections within a system and frame the scenario around the core problem. We provide an example from an entrepreneurship course to illustrate how the proposed framework can increase awareness among engineering students and allow them to identify and respond to the core problem effectively. We conclude that this framework can help students broaden their understanding of complex systems and identify alternative core problems. This work also highlights the importance of recognizing that not all problems can be solved through engineering (technical) solutions.

ОЦІНЮВАННЯ РЕЗУЛЬТАТІВ НАВЧАННЯ ЦИФРОВОГО ПІДПРИЄМНИЦТВА В ЕПОХУ ВИСОКИХ ТА ГЛИБОКИХ ТЕХНОЛОГІЙ

Digital transformation and the rise of Industry 4.0 in times of turbulence are changing the way organizations operate and interact with the people they serve. The massive penetration of network software applications and cloud services forces businesses to digitize their processes and provide innovative products and services. Such mass penetration is changing production and business processes, the labour market, and the basic portrait of the workforce, regardless of industry or role. In addition, we are seeing a shift in the basic skills needed in science, research and development, engineering, IT, management, entrepreneurship, and more. These skills are transformed in accordance with the technological restructuring of productive forces, at the same time, educational activity is characterized by some lag in its development. It is important to realize that the nature and speed of progress dictates the need for an advanced workforce with a multidisciplinary educational background (especially given the number of predictions promising full automation in the next few decades), regardless of industry or function, especially when it comes to deep tech start-ups and high-tech enterprises. It was concluded that in the framework of modern technical evolution, in the conditions of high-tech, and especially deep tech structures, competencies in digital entrepreneurship are, if not key, then very important. The education market is also undergoing changes, but university education is very slow to respond to digital processes. The article proposes a method of assessing the level of competences of students of economic specialties in the field of learning digital entrepreneurship based on soft computing, and also formulates the key basic competencies that arise during the online course of digital entrepreneurship, which are based on the latest development trends in the field of IT. Special considerations for using the model for higher education institutions are discussed. The proposed mathematical model has the property of universality and can be applied to obtain basic statistical samples of the level of competence acquisition based on online courses in various areas of the real sector of the economy.

The meeting points of team entrepreneurial passion, transactive memory systems and team performance: examining mediation and necessity effects

PurposeTo support the advancement of an underrepresented category of research in the field of entrepreneurial teams, this study proposes and tests a novel empirical model that connects two team emergent states, namely team entrepreneurial passion (TEP) and transactive memory systems (TMSs), and their influence on team performance.Design/methodology/approachThe data were gathered using an online questionnaire distributed to undergraduate students who had formed entrepreneurial teams as part of a course assignment. Two methods were executed on the obtained data, namely partial least-square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and necessary condition analysis (NCA).FindingsThe results uphold the hypothesised mediation role of TMSs between TEP and team performance. Of the two direct relations in the model, only the necessary conditions were present for the effect of TEP on TMSs.Research limitations/implicationsThe issue of the small sample size, a common feature in entrepreneurial team research, as discussed in the methodical section of the paper, is sidestepped with the use of PLS-SEM tools. Nonetheless, a larger sample size could have increased confidence in the results' validity. In addition, a longitudinal approach to data collection and analysis could have been used to augment that confidence further.Practical implicationsThree practical implications stem from the empirical findings. First, it lends support for implementing teaching approaches and task designs that are envisaged to improve team functioning in university classrooms. Making a business plan boosts students' desire to exploit the received knowledge and find a venture, so the teaching effort in entrepreneurship courses can have real-world consequences.Originality/valueBy testing the mediation model, new insights are made into the associations between team emerging states and, subsequently, team performance. In addition, this study responds to recent calls in the literature to incorporate NCA in an entrepreneurial setting.
