INFLUENCING FACTORS ON COLLEGE STUDENTS' INNOVATIVE LITERACY BASED ON SEM: TAKING PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES IN GUANGDONG PROVINCE AS A CASE STUDY
Keywords:
Private higher education institutions, Innovative literacy of college students, Structural equation modeling, Innovative self-efficacyAbstract
Under the background of the national strategy of innovation-driven development and the deepening advancement of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" education in higher education institutions, this study focuses on 210 undergraduate students from private universities in Guangdong Province. Based on social cognitive theory and ecological systems theory, a four-dimensional model comprising "individual-teacher-university-national policy" was constructed. Innovative self-efficacy was introduced as a mediating variable, with empirical analysis conducted using SPSS and Amos. Results indicate that university students' innovative awareness, teaching resources, institutional training mechanisms, and national policies all demonstrate significant positive direct correlations with innovative literacy, among which innovative awareness exhibits the strongest association intensity. The four-dimensional factors also show significant positive correlations with innovative self-efficacy, which plays a mediating role in the relationships between these factors and innovative literacy. This study provides an empirical basis for private universities to optimize their innovation education systems.References
