Abstract

In response to evolving higher education trends, outcome-based education (OBE) has emerged as a transformative pedagogical approach. This study investigates the relationship between OBE principles and individual psychological factors shaping English majors’ entrepreneurial aspirations and propensities. Drawing from a literature review and empirical investigation, the study explores the factors that mold the entrepreneurial psychology of English majors across different academic stages. A questionnaire survey provides insights into the influential factors affecting students’ entrepreneurial intentions, offering a nuanced perspective on the relationship between OBE and entrepreneurship. The study introduces a tailor-made talent training model for business English majors within the OBE framework, addressing the challenges of cultivating entrepreneurial talents. The findings contribute to the enhancement of talent training strategies, encompassing curriculum alignment, faculty development, and assessment methodologies. The research identifies gender disparities and familial influences on entrepreneurial intentions, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive support systems. The proposed talent training model provides a roadmap for nurturing linguistically proficient and business-savvy entrepreneurs. The effective implementation of OBE principles in entrepreneurial talent training involves curriculum alignment, faculty development, and robust assessment methods. Balancing standardized learning outcomes with flexibility for entrepreneurial creativity presents challenges but offers opportunities for enriching the educational experience. OBE-driven entrepreneurial education can offer equitable opportunities for diverse individuals by considering socioeconomic disparities and fostering inclusivity. This research contributes to theoretical understanding by bridging educational theory with psychological constructs, enhancing the theoretical landscape around educational reform and entrepreneurial education. It offers practical insights for refining talent training strategies and fostering an environment conducive to entrepreneurial thinking and action among English majors.
