Abstract

Based on the teaching objectives, teaching content and teaching methods of “Digital Economy” course, as well as the outstanding problems and challenges encountered during the teaching process, the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship is integrated. Drawing lessons from constructivism theory, procedural structure theory and entrepreneurship education theory, this paper emphasizes the connection between the theoretical teachings and entrepreneurship practice of “Digital Economy” course. An innovative teaching reform model including demand analysis, theoretical integration, task-driven and practical simulation is put forward. This model aims to incorporate innovative and entrepreneurial thinking training into the “Digital Economy” course in terms of knowledge, skills, and qualities, with the expectation of addressing the lack of innovation and entrepreneurship elements in digital economy teaching. This practice will promote the construction of new liberal arts, better meet the urgent demand for high-quality talent training in the digital economy driven by innovation and entrepreneurship, and cope with the new round of information revolution.
