Abstract

This study explores the development of students' innovation skills through extracurricular activities and its impact on their employability and academic performance. Innovation skills, comprising creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration, are vital for students to adapt to change and contribute effectively to various domains. Extracurricular activities offer diverse platforms for students to enhance these skills, fostering innovation and preparing them for the dynamic professional landscape. Through participation in activities such as debate clubs, science fairs, and role-playing, students develop problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and creative thinking, essential for innovation. Moreover, extracurricular engagements complement formal education, providing life-wide learning experiences crucial for holistic development. The study also examines the correlation between extracurricular participation, psychological wellness, and academic achievement, particularly among underrepresented college students. Findings suggest that involvement in extracurricular activities fosters a sense of belonging, which positively influences academic performance. Additionally, RadGrad, a curriculum initiative, is discussed as a tool to integrate extracurricular experiences with academic goals, facilitating personalized learning pathways for students. Overall, this study underscores the significance of extracurricular activities in nurturing innovation skills, enhancing employability, and promoting academic success among students.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between extracurricular activities and student innovation performance, drawing on various theoretical frameworks and empirical evidence. Through a comprehensive literature review, the study examines the impact of extracurricular activities on students' development of critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration skills—essential components of innovation. The TRIZ innovation theory and social cognitive career theory provide theoretical underpinnings for understanding how participation in extracurricular activities fosters innovation skills among students. Additionally, the study presents a literature review matrix summarizing key findings from previous research on extracurricular activities and their effects on student development. The findings suggest that participation in extracurricular activities significantly enhances students' capacity for innovation by cultivating higher-order thinking skills and providing opportunities for real-world problem-solving. Moreover, the study discusses the implications of extracurricular engagement for students' future career success and organizational innovation. The study concludes with recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for comparative studies across diverse student populations, in-depth analyses of specific types of extracurricular activities, and exploration of cultural differences in attitudes toward extracurricular involvement. Overall, this study contributes to a better understanding of how extracurricular activities influence student innovation performance and provides insights for educators and policymakers seeking to enhance innovation capabilities among young professionals
