Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education is transforming the learning environment, which allows for even more interactive and practice-focused classes. While previous studies have focused on functional advantages of AI, the effects on learners’ psychological development and innovation outcomes have been much less studied thus far. This paper examines the relationships of AI-enhanced experiential learning in entrepreneurship education with growth mindset and innovation capability. The study utilises factor analysis and multiple regression to examine the proposed model using survey data from 218 university students. Hence, it is demonstrated that AI-enabled experiential learning positively impacts the growth mindset and innovation capability. Additionally, growth mindset is shown to be significantly related to innovation capability, as well as a partial mediator, between AI-enhanced experiential learning and innovation capability. These results generalize the experiential learning theory to AI-driven contexts and generate the empirical support concerning the psychological processes by means of which AI-supported learning encourages innovation. The findings provide lessons to create AI-integrated learning environments that facilitate cognitive and innovative development.
