Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education

This empirical study bridges the gap between theoretical models and practical application by exploring critical mechanisms for evaluating and improving the quality of innovation and entrepreneurship education (IEE) in China.

Grounded in a comprehensive dataset of 201,034 questionnaires and 283 in-depth interviews collected from 1,231 universities across 31 provinces, this edited volume presents a scientific evaluation system based on the novel theoretical framework of "Development Status–Implementation Process–Final Results." Moving beyond static metrics, this dynamic approach addresses the complex needs of diverse stakeholders by covering the entire educational lifecycle. The book details the development of multidimensional indicators and classification standards tailored to different institutional types while providing validated tools for assessing performance and delivering actionable feedback.

This essential resource is ideal for educators, policymakers, and administrators dedicated to deepening reform and promoting the high-quality development of innovation education in the digital era.
