Reform and Practice of “Foundation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship” Course Based on “Three Phases and Six Segments” Experiential Teaching

With the arrival of the era of “Mass entrepreneurship and innovation” in China, a large number of innovation and entrepreneurship courses have been opened in colleges and universities. However, the current courses mostly focus on theoretical teaching and ignore the problem of ability cultivation. In order to stimulate students’ innovative thinking and entrepreneurial potential, this study explores the effect of applying the “three phases and six segments” experiential teaching mode in the course of “Foundation of Innovation and Entrepreneurship”. The teaching mode includes three stages of pre-course preparation, in-course implementation and post-course consolidation, as well as six segments of designing, creating, experiencing, sharing, constructing, and transferring, emphasizing that students can acquire knowledge and ability in practice through “hands-on, experience and feeling”. In this study, two classes were selected for comparative experiments, one adopting the experiential teaching mode and the other adopting the traditional lecture method. The results show that the experiential teaching mode can significantly stimulate students’ interest in learning, cultivate their innovative thinking, and improve their entrepreneurial awareness and ability compared with the traditional teaching mode. This study verifies the application effect of experiential teaching mode in innovation and entrepreneurship courses, and provides a reference for the reform of related courses.
