Practical implications include the establishment of open innovation-oriented structures and mechanisms, the development of specialized curriculum components, and the creation of enhanced collaboration platforms.

Investigating Determinants of Entrepreneurial Intentions among High Vocational College Students: Micro-Level Evidence from Entrepreneurship Education in China

In tandem with the transformative trajectory of the Chinese economic landscape, entrepreneurship has emerged as a primary avenue for career development among graduates of higher education. This study adopts the theoretical framework of the Theory of Planned Behavior and employs a questionnaire survey methodology involving 1010 third-year students enrolled in higher vocational programs in Shanghai, China. The research delves into the critical determinants influencing entrepreneurial intentions among higher vocational students, as well as the intricate mechanisms underpinning these determinants. The findings underscore that the incorporation of entrepreneurship education within higher vocational institutions significantly and positively shapes students' proclivity towards entrepreneurial endeavors, fostering a heightened inclination for such activities post-graduation. Notably, entrepreneurial attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and entrepreneurial subjective norms are identified as exerting mediating roles in the intricate pathway through which entrepreneurship education interfaces with entrepreneurial intentions. Moreover, discernible gender differentials are observed in the aftermath of the influence of entrepreneurship education. Male higher vocational students exhibit conspicuously elevated path coefficients in relation to their entrepreneurial intentions, eclipsing those of their female counterparts. This discernment accentuates the nuanced nature of the impact of entrepreneurship education, contingent upon gender differentials among students. The outcomes of this study conclusively validate that the integration of entrepreneurship education during the higher vocational stage substantively contributes to a positive modulation of students' entrepreneurial intentions. However, the manifestation of this influence is subject to differentials among students of varying genders and academic majors.

Process Raw Materials Into Materials of Economic Value Higher in Enterprenour Program Tijarotul Qur'an Muhammadiyah Boarding School Sukoharjo

Abstract. Efforts to develop entrepreneurship education based on character education in the Madrasah curriculum are based on three things; First, prepare students to become graduates who have an entrepreneurial spirit. Second, entrepreneurial values are seen as being able to shape a person's character to become strong and independent. Third, no matter how free a person is to carry out independent activities, these activities must remain controlled so that the results are beneficial and valuable, and this is where Islamic values play the role of filling and framing them. These three premises seem to be aligned with the goal established by Madrasah Aliyah Muhammadiyah Tijarotul Qur'aniyah (MAMTQ ). Its main objective is to provide broad spaces for students and the entire community to initiate the reformation of ideas as well as to show concrete actions to achieve optimal graduate competency. The field that is focused on as its characteristic is entrepreneurship provision. This curriculum development concept requires at least two preparations; First, design local content in condition that entrepreneurship is not yet a national content. Second, the preparation of competent teaching staff, in this case, those who can integrate entrepreneurship education with character education. In conclusion, curriculum development should be carried out to optimize graduate competencies. Realizing the entrepreneurial characteristic roadmap requires an upstream and downstream pilot project. Starting from the creation of 14 semi-permanent fish ponds, fish management, and the development of processed fish products of high economic value. This is also continued with branding and professional management so that the sustainability of the pilot project can be realized in other fields.

Determining the Roles of School Management Teams in Fostering Entrepreneurship among Learners

This study explored the roles of School Management Teams (SMTs) in fostering entrepreneurship education among learners. Entrepreneurship is recognised as a vital driver of economic growth, innovation, and job creation, making it increasingly necessary to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset and skill set in learners. SMTs, comprising school administrators, teachers, parents and community representatives, are pivotal in shaping and developing the entrepreneurial potential of students. However, little research has focused specifically on the roles of SMTs in this domain. The study applied a Systematic Literature Review, where 2518 papers were reviewed from academic databases and other research sources, including SAGE, Wiley, Elsevier, and Inderscience, to find pertinent studies published in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and reports. Two main themes emerged from the analysis: (1) Current roles of SMTs in fostering entrepreneurship among learners, including curriculum development, resource allocation, teacher professional development, community engagement, learner support and guidance, evaluation and assessment, and policy development; and (2) Advising roles of SMTs to foster entrepreneurship in learners, encompassing individual student guidance, group mentoring, career counselling, connecting students with resources, monitoring progress, and celebrating success. Recommendations include strengthening collaboration and networking, providing continuous professional development for SMT members, integrating entrepreneurship education into the curriculum, establishing school support structures, implementing effective evaluation and assessment mechanisms, and engaging in policy advocacy. By implementing these recommendations, SMTs could enhance their roles in fostering entrepreneurship among learners, creating a supportive and conducive ecosystem that nurtures and develops entrepreneurial attitudes and competencies.

ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTIONS OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS: THE MODERATING ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL KNOWLEDGE

Notwithstanding the concerted interventions for integrating entrepreneurship education in higher learning institutions, graduates' transition from universities to entrepreneurial activities remains insignificant. This paper examines the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge on the entrepreneurial intentions of undergraduate students. An exploratory research design alongside a quantitative approach was used to collect data. The data for this paper were collected from 335 drawn from 10 public and private higher learning institutions. Purposive, stratified, and convenience sampling were used to draw the sample. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey administered to 335 finalist students in Tanzania's higher learning institutions. The paper applies a partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to examine the moderating role of entrepreneurial knowledge on the relationship between motivational factors and entrepreneurial intentions of finalist undergraduate students from higher learning institutions in Tanzania. The study reveals that entrepreneurial knowledge significantly moderates the relationship between behavioural control and entrepreneurial intentions. The influence of entrepreneurial knowledge on the relationship between attitude and intentions and subjective norms and intentions is insignificant. Further, the attitude and behavioural controls were found to positively and significantly affect immediate entrepreneurial intentions, whereas subjective norms insignificantly affected immediate entrepreneurial intention. The study contributes to the development of a theory of planned behaviour, for example, by demonstrating that the three motivational factors have varying effects on entrepreneurial intentions in the context of moderation and different time horizons. Family entrepreneurial culture, personal savings, and role models are keys to making graduates pursue entrepreneurship in the long term.
