"ENCOURAGING ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSETS: THE INFLUENCE OF DIVERSE TEACHING APPROACHES ON STUDENTS’ ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION"
Abstract
With an emphasis on how various pedagogical approaches influence students' motivation, self-efficacy, and ambitions toward entrepreneurship, this study examines the effects of entrepreneurial teaching methodologies on students' entrepreneurial intentions. Open-ended questions were used in qualitative research methodologies to gather information on students' subjective experiences with mentorship, project-based learning, and experiential learning. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo software, which allowed for the methodical discovery of themes and patterns in the data. The investigation showed that while mentorship and role-modeling inspire confidence and offer useful insights, experience learning improves creativity, problem-solving abilities, and resilience. Project-based learning has been shown to increase entrepreneurial inclinations by promoting teamwork and opportunity recognition. Cultural and socioeconomic aspects that impact the efficacy of these approaches were also uncovered by the study. This study offers practical suggestions for creating successful educational programs and emphasizes the vital role that entrepreneurial teaching approaches play in encouraging entrepreneurial mindsets through the provision of deep, qualitative insights.
