Predicting graduate students’ entrepreneurial intentions through innovative teaching in entrepreneurship education: SEM-ANN approach

PurposeEntrepreneurship education (EE) through innovative teaching techniques (ITEE) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) are two essential components of entrepreneurship development. Using the assumptions of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), we took three constructs: attitude (ATT), subjective norms (SUBNs), and perceived behavioral control (PBC), and from the assumption of Human Capital (HC) theory, we constructed another variable, ITEE. Thus, the fundamental objective of this study is to find out the essential predictor of EI between entrepreneurial antecedents (ATT, SUBNs, PBC) and ITEE through an artificial neural network (ANN).Design/methodology/approachUsing the snowball sampling technique, a highly structured questionnaire was sent to respondents. Finally, a sample size of 397 business graduate students was chosen.FindingsThe findings revealed that two dimensions of entrepreneurial antecedents (attitude and subjective norm) positively impacted EI. Furthermore, ITEE partially mediated the relationship between two dimensions of entrepreneurial antecedents (attitude and subjective norm) and EI. Moreover, through ANN, we found that attitude (ATT) was a crucial predictor of EI among business graduate students in Bangladesh.Research limitations/implicationsIn this study, only business graduate students were included as respondents; thus, further research should include students from other departments or disciplines to generalize the findings.Practical implicationsThis study covers numerous actors in terms of practical contributions, including students, academics, the government, and the state. This article should draw the attention of Bangladesh government policymakers regarding the significance of ITEE for developing entrepreneurship. The research framework of this study proposed that ITEE should implement antecedents of entrepreneurship into business education, boosting the ability of students to make judgments, which will also enhance EI in the future.Originality/valueIntegrating the TPB theory with human capital theory represents a significant scholarly advancement in business education for graduate students in Southeast Asia, namely Bangladesh. Furthermore, we developed a novel ITEE scale by synthesizing information from many literary sources, providing valuable insights for future researchers.

MUSIC EDUCATION ASSESSMENTS IN CHINA: BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS


 
 
 
 Music assessment is critical to delivering thoughtful, frequent music instruction. The assessment provides information to both instructors and students regarding student achievement and serves as a guide for instructional practices. In China, the teaching system is affected by an exam-oriented habitus, which has resulted in the long-term use of summative assessment to evaluate learning outcomes in the music classroom. Traditional assessment methods have the disadvantage of needing more real-world context. Students answer questions one by one without the need to apply long-term critical reasoning skills. Peer assessment is related to both the processes and the outcome. It is a technique where students assess their performance. Instructors must relinquish their dependence on traditional metrics of technique usage to accommodate this new concept. Peers evaluate student work on projects, assignments, and reports. Innovative teaching techniques and assessments are not only the exterior expression of innovation in music education but also the focal point of this innovation. When it comes to adapting to the demands of the new millennium, music education assessment is a strategic decision for the twenty-first century. The purpose of this study is to review the music assessment methods in Chinese higher education through a bibliometric analysis.
 
 
 

A Model for Applying the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Methodology in Teaching Chemistry in English in the Bulgarian Secondary School

One of the most up-to-date approaches to modern education for acquiring a foreign language through the study of a non-language subject is Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). This approach gives the opportunity to develop a variety of learning strategies, application of innovative teaching methods and techniques, as well as increasing the motivation to learn. On the other hand, this approach provides the opportunity for learners to familiarize and expand their intercultural knowledge and understanding, while improving their skills to communicate in the language, other than their mother tongue. Being an educational approach, based on competences, CLIL is extremely well received by educators in Europe and around the world. One of the best-known models for CLIL implementation is the 4C’s conceptual framework developed by Do Coyle - Content, Communication, Cognition, Culture. Given the specificity of science teaching and in particular chemistry teaching in English, the article proposes to expand the model on the 4C’s frame to 6С’s frame- Content, Communication, Cognition, Culture, Key Competencies, Collaboration. On the basis of this frame, a CLIL lesson planning matrix for teaching chemistry in English was developed.
