Abstract

This paper explores the integration of 'Three-Whole Education' to enhance innovation and entrepreneurship education in Guangxi universities within the context of rural revitalization. By employing a quantitative approach, the study investigates how the components of 'Three-Whole Education' (whole-person, whole-process, and whole-course education) synergize with innovation and entrepreneurship training to cultivate talents suited for addressing rural challenges. The analysis includes a review of relevant literature, theoretical frameworks, and empirical studies to propose a conceptual model. Findings suggest that 'Three-Whole Education' can significantly impact students' entrepreneurial skills and innovation capabilities, providing practical recommendations for educators and policymakers. The study also identifies research gaps and suggests future directions, emphasizing the need for longitudinal studies, comparative analyses, and robust measurement tools to further understand and optimize this educational approach in the context of rural revitalization.
