“…Ms is less than Maf; in this case, the motivation to pursue success is less than the motivation to avoid failure, which determines the direction of individual behavior. Individuals are more willing to choose tasks with a certain level of success or certain level of failure [9].…”

In order to study the overall low entrepreneurial enthusiasm of college students, a method was proposed based on the cognitive intention and path choice of college students’ entrepreneurship from the perspective of individual and group cooperation. The method briefly introduces the achievement motivation theory, entrepreneurial intention theory, entrepreneurial cognition theory, classical game theory, computer simulation, and experimental methods. Then, the research hypothesis and model construction method are elaborated, and a questionnaire is designed to study the cognitive intention and path of entrepreneurship of college students. Finally, data analysis and hypothesis testing are described to provide a guarantee for college students’ entrepreneurship. The results show that the fundamental driving force for the great progress of entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities is to meet the needs of both the collective and the individual in the top-level design and to realize the mechanism through which entrepreneurship education can achieve common development.

“…Unlike some studies (Liebendörfer & Schukajlow, 2020), we note that the recognition of mathematical applications, that is, the usefulness of the content, directly affected the interest of students. This motivated them to be more engaged in their studies (Hulleman et al, 2017).…”

This study addresses three aspects of the attitude towards mathematics: usefulness, interest, and recognition of the social roles of mathematics. Mathematical modeling activities were developed and conducted with engineering students. We analyzed how the attitude towards mathematics is manifested in this context and what contribution can be to a better understanding of the aspects of this attitude. We note that interest is manifested in a personal and objective way and that there is a recognition of the usefulness of basic mathematics in everyday life and in other contexts to the detriment of higher education mathematics. In addition, modeling proved to be a good opportunity to recognize the social roles of mathematics, something that did not occur individually. We conclude that modeling is pointed out as a means for a manifestation of a good attitude towards mathematics.

“…A high interest in an object or an activity induces a person to find out more about it and to pursue it. Interest is an important motivational variable in student education (Liebendörfer and Schukajlow, 2020). Zhang (2007) has found that genuine interest influences students' attitude towards choosing a major.…”

With the growing importance of the logistics industry and the increasing demand for logistics professionals with a bachelor’s degree qualification, the government and industry in China have long been looking for ways to attract more logistics sub-degree students to pursue higher education. This article aims to provide insights into the factors that determine logistics sub-degree students’ intention to pursue a bachelor’s degree. The study extended the theory of reasoned action (TRA) model to include four variables, namely perceived difficulty, job opportunities, job starting salary and genuine interest. The findings from the study involving 361 logistics sub-degree students from three institutions show that logistics sub-degree students’ decision to pursue a bachelor’s degree is determined by attitude, subjective norm, perceived difficulty, job opportunities, job starting salary and genuine interest. Genuine interest is identified as a new precursor of intention. The findings also show that there is a significant difference between students from different types of programmes. Based on the findings, this article proposes some measures for the relevant parties to motivate and attract logistics sub-degree students to further their study at bachelor’s degree level.
