A Comparison Of Entrepreneurship Education Between Chinese And American College Students

Entrepreneurship education consists of narrow sense and broad sense. The broad sense of the entrepreneurship education that is close to the innovative education refers to the education of training creative personalities while the narrow sense of the entrepreneurship education is combined with the vocational training.The entrepreneurship education started late in our country so that it hasn't developed well and encountered many practical issues during the real operational process, which are caused by our educational system, public ideas, our country's relevant policy-orientations, the setup and arrangements of the entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities as well as various problems from students themselves, etc. This thesis attempts to provide the practical guidance for the entrepreneurship education of college students in our country and offer strong theoretical support and guidance for the development of the entrepreneurship education in our country in the future by making further contrast and analysis of the Sino-US development process of the entrepreneurship education and the actual situation of the entrepreneurship education in these two countries, analyzing and probing into the present problems existing in Chinese entrepreneurship education as well as drawing on the useful experience of the United States.The American entrepreneurship education has formed a fairly complete system, which covers the formal education from the junior high school, high school, and college to graduate school after nearly half century's development. In our country, the appeal for entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurship education appeared early; nevertheless, the definition and research of their concepts from the academic point of view were brought in from abroad with the rise of the entrepreneurial practice in recent years. The research on the entrepreneurship education in our country is still in its initial stage and primarily has the following problems: Firstly, its theme and contents are in introducing and absorbing stage. Secondly, we lack professional teams engaging in the research of entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurship education. Thirdly, we lack suitable research platform for entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurship education.Launching college students' entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurship education, we should have the strategic vision of the world and learn from domestic and international successful models and lessons of the entrepreneurship education. Moreover, we must venture the entrepreneurship education into the personnel training target system in colleges and universities by integrating the development of China's higher education practice and construct the entrepreneurial education model of college students with Chinese characteristics in order to train a large number of high-quality entrepreneurial talents and expand college students' new vision of employment.It is a social and systematic project of college students in new times to launch the entrepreneurship education. It is only through continuous exploration, research, from theory to practice and improving all the time that we can further promote China's reform and the development of higher education and train a large number of internationally competitive complex talents with high quality. According to the research ideas, this paper is divided into four parts:The first part illustrates the course of development of entrepreneurship education for college students of China and the United States.The second part explores the concept and targets of entrepreneurship education for college students of China and the United States.The third part analyzes the practice of entrepreneurship education for college students of China and the United States.In the last part, the author puts forward his thoughts about the reform of entrepreneurship education for Chinese college students through the perspective of international comparison.
