Abstract: The traditional motivation dichotomy regards internal motivation and external motivation as a relatively independent binary relationship.The self-determination theory of motivation integrates and reconstructs the internal structure of human motivation,and puts forward path models for the internalization of different types of motivation.Experiential curriculum teaching model for entrepreneurship education as a practical interactive teaching method respects autonomy support,constructs a teaching field in line with the growth of self-determination theory,and provides possibility to promote college students’ entrepreneurial motivation internalization.Studies have shown that an effective experiential teaching model should stand at the overall height of students’ life development,pay attention to students’ dominant position in teaching activities,organize and construct realistic teaching situations,and adopt flexible teaching methods and approaches to achieve teaching objectives.In the process of effective experiential teaching,teachers and students,students and students and students themselves are in a state of interaction and dialogue.Students’ psychological needs of“autonomy”,“competence”and“relationship”are continuously met,and their entrepreneurial motivation is gradually stimulated,optimized and strengthened.Self-determination theory is not only the guiding concept of designing theoretical model and practice scheme of experiential teaching,but also an important standard to test its teaching effectiveness.

Key words: motivation internalization, entrepreneurship education, experiential curriculum, teaching model design
