Study on the Construction of an Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education Ecosystem in Higher Education Institutions Based on Social Network Analysis

Abstract

A holistic strategy that incorporates digital technology, multidisciplinary cooperation, and industry collaborations is necessary for China's higher education institutions' innovation and entrepreneurship education (IEE) ecosystem to meet the challenges of the fast developing digital economy. In this research, we examine how these schools might improve their teaching methods to produce more competent, marketable graduates by drawing on the innovation ecosystem idea, which states that all parts of a system are interrelated and constantly interacting with one another. Universities may close the gap between classroom theory and practical experience by using innovative tools like artificial intelligence and big data in conjunction with teaching, competition, and project incubation platforms. Aligning educational achievements with social demands is the goal of the research, which calls for a multi-level strategy that includes cooperation among governments, institutions, and companies. Furthermore, it stresses the need of a strong quality management system, project-based learning, and interdisciplinary curriculum in fostering students' innovative and entrepreneurial abilities. The report concludes with a framework for replacing static, teacher-centered methods with an ecosystem-based approach that promotes long-term societal and economic growth.
