Research on the Influence of Out-of-Class Experience on Undergraduate Ability Development:Based on Evidence from Students at 313 Universities
The influence of out-of-class activities on ability development is the cornerstone of the continuous improvement of the university and the choice of students to participate in activities.Through in-depth analysis of 139,971 survey data and 17 text materials,it is found that out-of-class experience has significantly positive predictive effect on comprehensive ability,cognitive ability and non-cognitive ability,with predictive power of 0.235,0.157 and 0.313.The predictive power of all kinds of out-of-class experiences on ability development was ranked as academic activity experience,social practice experience,sports activity experience and community activity experience;the efficiency of sports activity was prominent,while the efficiency of community activity was poor.Out-of-class experience mainly affects the cognitive ability development in an"explicit"way and the non-cognitive ability development in a"implicit"way.Colleges and universities should encourage and support students to participate in out-of-class activities and regulate and guide the healthy development of community organizations.Students should participate in out-of-class activities selectively to improve their ability structure.The academic circle should pay attention to the out-of-class experience of rural students to lay a foundation for the fairness of the higher education process.
