Abstract

From the perspective of college students' perceptions, we firstly construct a model of the influence of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial tendency under the mediating role of entrepreneurial alertness based on literature review and design a related questionnaire. Secondly, based on 264 valid questionnaires, SPSS 20.0 and Mplus7.0 software were used to conduct empirical analysis. The findings show that entrepreneurship education has a significant positive effect on entrepreneurial tendency of college students in both college entrepreneurship education and social entrepreneurship education dimensions. The full mediating effect of entrepreneurial alertness was confirmed. The entrepreneurial tendency of college students is influenced by entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities and entrepreneurship education in society, so the government should pay more attention to entrepreneurship education for college students, and college students should acquire relevant entrepreneurial knowledge and improve their entrepreneurial practice ability through receiving entrepreneurship education, so as to promote the formation of entrepreneurial alertness and thus improve the entrepreneurial tendency of college students.
