A Review Study on Entrepreneurial Intention, Educational Learning Settings, and Learning Motivation in Entrepreneurship Education

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education can teach, or at the very least, guide people in starting their own businesses and aims to create future business owners among today's youth. Students' entrepreneurial aspirations are receiving a lot of attention from governments worldwide because of the stiff job market and dynamic labor market. Its impact becomes more pronounced in a university setting because students have better potential for entrepreneurship and are closer to making their professional choices. Though most universities provide entrepreneurship courses, little attention has been given to the impact of entrepreneurship education vis-a-vis students' intentions to start their own businesses. Generally, the course curriculum has to be restructured to achieve desired outcomes and entrepreneurial abilities and activities should be bolstered alongside formal education and training, where entrepreneurial intent plays an essential role in the initial stages’ decision-making process. This study examines whether higher education universities have boosted student attitudes towards entrepreneurship through reviews of documented research and academic studies. Taking an entrepreneurship education program has a positive impact on the decision-making process of an entrepreneur. Additionally, it was established that self-efficacy in entrepreneurial decision-making has a beneficial impact on entrepreneurial intention. It was also discovered that entrepreneurial self-efficacy was a significant mediator between entrepreneurial activity and intention. This study aims to determine if and how entrepreneurship education affects students' intentions.
