Innovative curriculum system of entrepreneurship education
One of the drafters responsible for the above evaluation report? Liu Fan, associate professor of economics department of China Youth University for Politics and deputy director of KAB Entrepreneurship Education (China) Institute, said? According to the survey, KAB students are very satisfied with this course, and almost all schools offering KAB courses cannot meet the needs of most students who want to study this course. ?
Liu Fan believes that students like this course mainly because KAB entrepreneurship education course has three distinctive innovative features, namely, modularization of course structure, integration of course content and activity of course organization, which constitutes a relatively complete curriculum system of innovation and entrepreneurship education.
KAB course has eight teaching modules, each with a specific theme, but each module is interrelated. This kind of curriculum structure design has great flexibility and can be effectively realized according to the different teaching objects and teaching hours? Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude? 、? Teaching according to time? . Secondly, KAB's curriculum types include subject courses, activity courses and practical courses (business simulation games). Subject courses focus on imparting entrepreneurial knowledge, activity courses focus on cultivating entrepreneurial awareness and skills, and practice courses focus on providing entrepreneurial simulation drills. The integration of the three types of courses has formed a three-dimensional, comprehensive, focused and complementary relationship in achieving the teaching objectives of entrepreneurship education; Thirdly, the activity of KAB curriculum organization means that the operation mode of the curriculum pays attention to the design of teaching activities, so that students can participate in teaching activities as much as possible? Stimulate entrepreneurial awareness, experience entrepreneurial process and improve entrepreneurial skills? Purpose. For example,? Business simulation game? By simulating the operation of enterprises, students can experience the business process and feel the true meaning of business in the game.
Standardized quality and training system
What is the current KAB project aimed at? KAB project lecturer? 、? KAB project trainer? And then what? Senior trainer of KAB project? Implement unified training standards at different levels.
For KAB China project universities and KAB China project training institutions, KAB project evaluation center has established and improved two different quality control systems, and standardized project supervision and evaluation through 10 quality control tools. Among them,? Toolkit for teaching quality control in colleges and universities? Designed for use before class. Teaching schedule? 、? Student situation questionnaire? 、? Students' entrepreneurial knowledge test? , used in the course? Feedback form after class? What about after the course? Student training performance evaluation form? With what? Effective entrepreneurship education questionnaire? . ? Teacher Training Quality Control Toolkit? Including training? Daily feedback form? And then what? Training students to simulate teaching mutual evaluation form? And use it at the end of training? Trainer's teaching quality evaluation form? And then what? Training performance evaluation form of training courses? . Where does the evaluation report come from? Teaching structure? 、? What is the content of the lecture? 、? Teaching methods and means? 、? Teaching skills? The four dimensions are designed to understand students' satisfaction with trainers, and each question has? Very good? (5 points), Okay？ (4 points), General? (3 points), Poor? (2 points), Bad? (1), the survey results show that the trainees are very satisfied with the performance of the trainer, with an average score of 4.7.
Student-centered participatory learning method
One of the characteristics of KAB course is to let students experience it first, and then come back to discuss it after the experience, instead of learning some theoretical knowledge first.
? This course mainly adopts foreign participatory and experiential education methods, which is very attractive to students. ? Zhaowei, KAB project consultant and senior trainer of the Beijing Bureau of the International Labour Organization, said.
Yuan Shengdong of Shanghai Vocational College of Science and Technology introduced that in the teaching process, students are often divided into several groups and then taught in a participatory and experiential way. For example, simulated recruitment, first give the current situation of human resources of an enterprise, and ask each group to analyze, determine the position to be recruited, and make a recruitment advertisement. The boss must recruit employees according to the requirements of the job advertisement, and the wages of all employees must be different. The boss with the highest human resource cost was eliminated, and the boss with the lowest human resource cost won. All employees must apply for jobs and bargain with the boss about salary, and the highest salary price wins.
Yuan Shengdong believes that this participatory and experiential education method has got rid of the boring and difficult understanding of traditional teaching, allowing students to be immersed in the scene, which not only improves their learning ability, but also cultivates their innovation ability and stimulates their learning potential.
But the fly in the ointment is that according to the requirements of KAB course, each KAB teacher can only have 30 students in a class, which ensures the teaching quality and makes many college students who want to learn KAB course feel embarrassed.
Zhaowei said that with the increase of teacher training in KAB, I believe more college students will have the opportunity to receive training in KAB curriculum system.
Combining teaching with practice to attract enterprises to participate in entrepreneurship education.
At present, entrepreneurship education projects similar to school-enterprise cooperation have been carried out in some schools, but most of them are in a state of single-handedness, and their activities are not systematic. Many colleges and universities lack stamina in school-enterprise docking.
Therefore, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and all-china youth federation, Nokia (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and China Guanghua Science and Technology Foundation jointly launched the KAB project. Nokia Youth Entrepreneurship Education Project? Large-scale public welfare activities, universities that will carry out KAB projects nationwide in the next three years? Youth Entrepreneurship Lecture Hall? 、? Youth business plan competition? 、? Supported by Youth Venture Fund? And other projects, through systematic entrepreneurship education and practice to cultivate young people's entrepreneurial innovation spirit and support young people with independent entrepreneurial ideas.
Chad Derong, Deputy Secretary-General of China Guanghua Science and Technology Foundation, introduced that up to now, Nokia Youth Entrepreneurship Education Program? The first stage? Youth Entrepreneurship Lecture Hall? Since it was launched in Peking University on April 9th this year, the activity has been carried out in 565 and 438+0 universities in more than 20 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. More than 50 entrepreneurs, including Huang Ming, Chairman of Huang Ming Solar Energy Group, Zhang Xianghui, former general manager of Microsoft China R&D Center, and Chen Ping, Chairman of ZJS, served as young entrepreneurial mentors, showing their entrepreneurial experiences and feelings to 65,438+million college students, which were welcomed by teachers and students in colleges and universities.
Zhou, a KAB lecturer at Minzu University of China, believes that KAB is a way of combining teaching with practice, which is very helpful to improve college students' comprehensive quality, entrepreneurial practice and employability.
? Many college students don't have a clear definition of themselves. Through entrepreneurial practice, college students can learn more about themselves, enterprises and society, have a more objective understanding of themselves, find out whether they have the potential of entrepreneurs, rationally evaluate their entrepreneurial knowledge, entrepreneurial ability, entrepreneurial resources and other entrepreneurial conditions, and avoid entrepreneurial risks. ?

Introduction of KAB Entrepreneurship Education Project for College Students
College students' employment background: a global problem. At present, the global population of young people aged 15-24 exceeds 10 billion, which is the largest period in history, and about 10 billion young people enter the labor market every year; In the next 10 year,1200 million young people will enter the labor market, but at most 300 million new jobs will be created in the world (data provided by the International Labour Organization).
China: the annual increase of labor force100000, the number of college graduates: 3.4 million (2005), 4130000 (2006) and 4.95 million (2007); According to the statistics of the International Labor Organization, the total number of employment opportunities for college graduates is 1.66 million (06); The formal employment rate is less than 70%.
To solve the employment problem, it is very important to cultivate college students' entrepreneurial concept and stimulate their entrepreneurial spirit, so that college students are not only the occupiers of jobs, but also the creators of jobs. In order to give young people all over the world a real chance to find decent and productive jobs, the United Nations has formulated the Millennium Development Goals: establishing a United Nations youth employment network, formulating and implementing the 4E Strategy (namely employability, equal opportunities, entrepreneurship and job creation), and implementing the KAB project for college students.
KAB project is a training course specially developed by the International Labour Organization to cultivate college students' entrepreneurial awareness and ability, which has been carried out in more than 20 countries around the world. From June 5 to 10, 2005, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the All-China Federation of Students and the International Labour Organization cooperated to introduce the KAB project into China, and carried out pilot projects in six universities including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Beijing Youth University for Politics, Heilongjiang University and tianjin polytechnic university, with good response. At the end of this year 1 1, more than 20 colleges and universities, including Xuzhou Normal University, became the second batch of pilot promotion institutions.
KAB entrepreneurship education for college students includes: What is an enterprise? Why should we promote entrepreneurship? What kind of people can become entrepreneurs? How to become an entrepreneur? How to find a good business idea? How to start a business? How to run a business? Entrepreneurship preparation: Entrepreneurship plan, which consists of eight modules, helps students to establish a correct understanding of enterprise problems and master the basic knowledge and practical skills of entrepreneurship by teaching basic knowledge about enterprises and entrepreneurship, that is, to achieve the following four goals: (1) to cultivate entrepreneurial awareness and encourage college graduates to choose entrepreneurship and self-employment as their career choices; (2) Correctly understand the role of enterprises in society and self-employment; (3) provide the knowledge and skills needed to start and operate small businesses; (4) Improve the employability so that students can have productive jobs in small and medium-sized enterprises and without formal employment opportunities.
For individuals, KAB entrepreneurship education can change students' knowledge, behavior, goals and attitudes; Let more students take self-employment as their career choice. Generally speaking, KAB entrepreneurship education will bring employment opportunities and influence social culture by allowing more people to start businesses. New ventures will have an impact on other upstream and downstream enterprises and enhance economic vitality.
