Can extracurricular self-study investment promote undergraduates' innovation and entrepreneurship?——New findings from hybrid researches
The key for undergraduates to obtain the ability of innovation and entrepreneurship is autonomous learning. Extracurricular self-study is a typical behavior of autonomous learning,but few studies have explored the relationship between extracurricular self-study and the ability of innovation and entrepreneurship. The first is qualitative research,we collected 375 open-ended questionnaires from 114 universities in Xiamen University,and put forward the hypothesis of non-linear relationship between extracurricular self-study and innovation and entrepreneurship through qualitative analysis. Second,in the quantitative research part,we used 9803 valid survey data from 19 colleges and universities,the three hypotheses are verified. The study found that:①there is a "U" relationship between extracurricular self-study investment and innovation and entrepreneurship ability. At present,97.9% of undergraduates' extracurricular self-study is on the "U" left. The vast majority of students' extracurricular self-study investment is low-quality autonomous learning behavior,which has a negative impact on innovation and entrepreneurship. ②With the improvement of undergraduates' classroom learning investment level,the negative predictive effect of extracurricular self-study investment on innovation and entrepreneurship is gradually decreasing. ③With the improvement of undergraduates' mastery of goal orientation,the negative predictive effect of extracurricular self-study investment on innovation and entrepreneurship ability is gradually decreasing. Universities should strive to create an autonomous learning environment and innovate classroom teaching methods,so as to improve college students' classroom learning investment,stimulate college students' internal learning motivation,change college students from passive learning to active learning,and truly realize undergraduates' autonomous learning.
