Teaching situation? In the survey, 9 universities scored 12 points, 6 universities scored 11 points, and 32 universities scored 1.5 points. What kind of course is KAB? What are the characteristics of this course? Why do KAB students who participated in the study give this course such a high evaluation?
Innovative entrepreneurship education curriculum system
One of the drafters of 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 that offer KAB courses cannot meet the needs of most students who want to learn this course. ?
Liu Fan believes that students like this course mainly because KAB entrepreneurship education course has three distinctive innovative features, namely, modular curriculum structure, comprehensive curriculum content and active curriculum organization, which constitutes a relatively complete innovative entrepreneurship education curriculum system.
KAB course has eight teaching modules, each with a specific theme, but each module is related to each other. This kind of curriculum structure design has great flexibility, which can be effectively achieved 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 practical courses focus on providing entrepreneurial simulation drills. The three kinds of courses are integrated with each other, forming a three-dimensional and comprehensive corresponding relationship with mutual emphasis and complementarity in realizing the teaching objectives of entrepreneurship education; Thirdly, the activity of KAB course organization means that the operation mode of the course pays attention to the design of teaching activities, so that students can participate in teaching activities as much as possible? Inspire entrepreneurial awareness, experience entrepreneurial process and improve entrepreneurial skills? The purpose. For example,? Business simulation game? By simulating the operation of enterprises, students can experience the business process in the game and feel the true meaning of business.
standardized quality and training system
at present, KAB project is aimed at? KAB project lecturer? 、? KAB project trainer? And? 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 sets of different quality control systems, and standardized project supervision and evaluation through 1 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? And after the course? Student training performance evaluation form? With? Effective entrepreneurship education questionnaire? . ? Teacher training quality control toolkit? Including those used during training? Daily feedback form? And?

The four dimensions are designed to understand the trainees' satisfaction with the trainer, and each question has? Very good? (5 points),? Ok? (4 points),? General? (3 points),? Poor? (2 points),? Very bad? (1) and other five grade variables, 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 and participatory learning method
A great feature 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.
According to Yuan Shengdong of Shanghai Vocational College of Science and Technology, in the teaching process, students are often divided into several groups and then taught in a participatory and experiential way. For example, the simulated recruitment first gives the current situation of human resources in an enterprise, and requires each group to analyze it, determine the position to be recruited, and make a recruitment advertisement. The boss must recruit employees according to the requirements of the recruitment advertisement, and the wages of all employees must be different. The boss with the highest human resources cost is eliminated, and the boss with the lowest human resources cost wins. All employees must apply for jobs and bargain with the boss on salary, and the one with 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, and made the students immersive, which not only improved their learning ability, but also cultivated their innovative ability and stimulated their learning potential.
However, the fly in the ointment is that according to the requirements of KAB course, each KAB teacher can only have 3 students in a class, and small class teaching is adopted, which not only ensures the teaching quality, but also makes it difficult for many college students who want to learn KAB course.
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 going it alone, and the activities are not systematic, so many colleges and universities lack stamina in school-enterprise docking.
To this end, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the All-China Youth Federation jointly launched the KAB project with Nokia (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and China Guanghua Science and Technology Foundation. Nokia Youth Entrepreneurship Education Program? Large-scale public welfare activities, colleges and universities that will carry out KAB projects nationwide in the next three years? Youth Entrepreneurship Lecture Hall? 、? Youth business plan competition? 、? Youth entrepreneurship fund support? 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 its launch in Peking University on April 9th this year, the activity has been held in 51 colleges and universities in more than 2 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. More than 5 entrepreneurs, including Huang Ming, chairman of Huangming Solar Group, Zhang Xianghui, former general manager of Microsoft China R&D Center, and Chen Ping, chairman of ZJS, have served as youth entrepreneurship instructors, showing their entrepreneurial experiences and feelings to more than 1, college students, which are welcomed by teachers and students in colleges and universities.
Zhou Qihong, a KAB lecturer at Minzu University of China, believes that KAB, a mode of combining teaching with practice, 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. ?

In order to introduce KAB, the All-China Youth Federation and the International Labour Organization began consultations in January last year, and in December last year, the translation and adaptation of the textbook KAB Entrepreneurship for College Students were completed.

introduction of KAB entrepreneurship education program for college students
employment background of college students: a global problem. At present, there are more than 1 billion young people aged between 15 and 24 in the world, which is the largest period in history, and about 1 million young people enter the labor market every year; In the next 1 years, 1.2 billion young people will enter the labor market, but only 3 million new jobs can be created worldwide at most (data provided by the International Labour Organization).
China: 1 million new laborers are added every year, and the number of college graduates is 3.4 million (in 25), 4.13 million (in 26) and 4.95 million (in 27); According to the statistics of the International Labor Organization, the total number of employment opportunities for college graduates is 1.66 million (6); The regular employment rate is less than 7%.
to solve the employment problem, it is very important to cultivate college students' entrepreneurial ideas 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, Formulate and implement the 4E strategy (namely, Employability, Equal Opportunities, Entrepreneurship, and Employment Creation), and implement the KAB entrepreneurship education project for college students (Know About Business in English, referred to as KAB project).
KAB project is a training course specially developed by the international labor organization to cultivate college students' entrepreneurial awareness and ability, and has been carried out in more than 2 countries around the world. In October 25, 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 conducted 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 November this year, more than 2 universities including Xuzhou Normal University became the second batch of pilot and promotion institutions.
KAB entrepreneurship education for college students includes: what is an enterprise? Why should we carry forward entrepreneurial spirit? What kind of people can become entrepreneurs? How to become an entrepreneur? How to find a good business idea? How to set up a business? How to run a business? Entrepreneurship preparation: business plan, with 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 and vocational school graduates to take 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 employability, so that students can have productive jobs in small and medium-sized enterprises and in the absence of formal employment opportunities.
For individuals, KAB entrepreneurship education can change students' knowledge, behavior, goals and attitudes; Make more students take self-employment as their career choice. Generally speaking, KAB entrepreneurship education will bring employment opportunities and affect 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.
