Enhancing Technology-Focused Entrepreneurship in Higher Education Institutions Ecosystem: Implementing Innovation Models in International Projects

Innovation models are key to fostering technology-focused entrepreneurship in higher education institutions (HEIs). These models create dynamic environments that encourage collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving skills among students and faculty. HEIs face several challenges in fostering entrepreneurship, including allocating sufficient financial and human resources, integrating entrepreneurship education across disciplines, and managing intellectual property. Overcoming these challenges requires HEIs to cultivate an entrepreneurial culture and establish strong partnerships with industry stakeholders. To achieve these goals, HEIs must adopt successful innovation models proven to work. This article presents an international case study highlighting such models and the factors contributing to their success. This study explores the implementation and impact of innovation models, specifically IDEATION and DEETECHTIVE, within HEIs to foster technology-focused entrepreneurship. By implementing numerous actions focusing on online education integration and the Quintuple Helix Innovation Model, these models support shifting engineering students’ mindsets toward entrepreneurship. This research highlights the importance of academia–industry collaboration, international partnerships, and the integration of entrepreneurship education in technology-focused disciplines. This study presents two models. The first, IDEATION, focuses on open innovation and sharing economy aspects. This model underwent rigorous testing and refinement, evolving into the second model, DEETECHTIVE, which is more comprehensive and deep tech-focused. These models have been validated as effective frameworks for fostering entrepreneurship and innovation within HEIs. This study’s findings underscore the potential of these models to enhance innovation capacity, foster an entrepreneurial culture, and create ecosystems rich in creativity and advancement. 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.

A systematic review of entrepreneurship education in higher education as panacea to unemployment reduction in South African graduates

This discursive study explores the attempt to create feasible job creations for young graduates from various higher education institutions across South Africa. A systematic review of various literature sources on the phenomenon argues that entrepreneurship education can create and develop in students creative and innovative, business initiatives, risk-taking, strategic business minds, appropriate decision-making, and opportunities in diverse entrepreneurship activities, after graduation. The integration of entrepreneurship education into higher education across South African Higher Education will boost national economic development. The existing Department of Higher Education's initiative of Entrepreneurship Development into the country's Higher Education requires assessment and repositioning for effective approaches that can actualize the objectives of the initiative. The study recommends the need for universities' managements to re-strategise and connect theory with practical, in diverse significant collaborations with various private businesses, government institutions, and Non-Governmental Organisations.

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.

Developing Countermeasures of Integrating Entrepreneurship Education with Professional Education in Colleges and Universities Using Data Mining

The purpose is to promote the integrated development of innovation and entrepreneurship education (IEE) and professional education (PE) in colleges and universities (CAUs) more accurately and efficiently. Data mining (DM) technology is introduced to study IEE + PE in CAUs. At present, although the state strongly supports the IEE + PE, the integration progress is still slow, and IEE and PE are still completely independent of each other. Therefore, it is urgent to combine IEE with PE organically. Accordingly, based on DM technology, this work analyzes the current situation and existing problems of IEE + PE and puts forward suggestions and corresponding countermeasures for the future development of IEE + PE. The results show the following: (1) College students have high expectations of cultivating their innovation and entrepreneurship ability. (2) The internal and external influencing factors of IEE must be merged. (3) The implementation methods of IEE should be diversified. (4) The current resource allocation of IEE is unreasonable. Based on the above analysis, the existing problems are studied in detail and the corresponding countermeasures are put forward. Meanwhile, DM technology provides a theoretical data basis, making the research results more authentic and reliable and providing reference suggestions for IEE + PE.

Bibliometric Analysis of Entrepreneurship Education Research from 2012 to 2022

There is a growing interest in entrepreneurship education within the education community, as can be seen by the increased number of educational activities and initiatives focused on it, such as conferences, workshops, projects, and research papers. One good reason for this being interesting is that entrepreneurship education is considered a teaching and training approach designed to develop and encourage entrepreneurial spirit and success. Despite the progress that has been made so far in integrating entrepreneurship education into the education system, there is still a need to develop and strengthen educational practises in this area. One way to evaluate the current situation of entrepreneurship education is to conduct the scientific research that can be traced through the abundance of published literature on the topic. The published literature shows there is still a lack of comprehensive and systematic research focusing on the evolution of this field. As a result, the purpose of this study is to highlight the research efforts that have been made in entrepreneurship education. The final 615 scholarly articles used in this review, which were published and available through Scopus databases and ranged in date from 2012 to 2021, show that there has been a gradual increase in research on entrepreneurship education from 2012 to 2021.

Enhancing Entrepreneurial Education and Self-Efficacy through Technical Vocational Education and Training- Authority of Afghanistan (TVET-AVI): Evaluation and Way Forward

This study endeavours to evaluate and propose the mechanism to intensify and expedite entrepreneurial education and self-efficacy in Technical and Vocational formal education. Based on the qualitative research method, fourteen open-ended questions were developed for interviews targeting three types of respondents (students, teachers and TVET-A officials) for data collection. The results suggest that there is no specific entrepreneurial learning in TVET-AVI institutions, and on the organization level a clear comprehensive strategy for enhancing entrepreneurial education is not yet developed. Further findings revealed that students only received a technical education, mismatching the current labour market needs. To enhance entrepreneurial education, it has been observed that developing a new curriculum for entrepreneurial education, teacher training and teaching methodology and the role of TVET authority has a positive impact on enhancing entrepreneurial education. In addition to that, cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset in the local community is an important factor for student motivation and independence. This study proposes how TVET can realize the issue of integrating entrepreneurship education and self-efficacy in formal education. The curriculum and monitoring and evaluation directorates will utilize the study result to ensure the entrepreneurial education and self-efficacy included in the updated curriculum and for monitoring and evaluation procedures as well. Further research is required to identify the stakeholders’ involvement that could help the entrepreneurial education process.
