Abstract

The Society 5.0 era has become an opportunity in the education industry to contribute optimally, especially for universities in Indonesia. Higher education institutions must provide human resources (HR) to compete in science and scientific practice. The research aims to identify the innovation competency development model on academic participants in universities and analyze factors that affect the innovation competencies of students at the college level. This study used a quantitative explanatory method to explain variables that significantly influence shaping student innovation competencies. Respondents were taken from three universities, conducted from May to October 2020. There were 162 students selected as research samples. The study findings suggest that not all research variables have significant influences on student innovation competencies. The research suggests two variables that have significant effects on shaping student innovation competencies. Both variables are critical thinking and social networking. In detail, critical thinking is reflected best by estimating the risks and variables of social networks reflected strongest by building synergy with external parties
