| description | This research investigated the implementation practice of entrepreneurship
program in public universities of Malaysia and Nigeria in comparative approach.
Specifically, it focused on three components, namely entrepreneurial curriculum
content (EEC), entrepreneurial teaching strategies (ETS) and the entrepreneurial
university environment (EUE); purposefully to assess their effects on students’
entrepreneurial intention and the challenges surrounding teaching the program with a
view of addressing them. The study employed sequential explanatory strategy under
mixed method in which qualitative findings strengthened quantitative results. After
collecting data from the total sample of 581 students and 10 lecturers of
entrepreneurship using questionnaire and interview as instruments, Statistical Package
for Social Science (SPSS) version 25 was employed for the computation. Hence, the
quantitative data was analysed using Independent t-test and Regression; while the
qualitative data was processed according to Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis
framework. The quantitative results revealed that significant differences exist between
the Nigerian and Malaysian universities students’ perceived views on the effectiveness
of entrepreneurship curriculum content and university environment, but not on the
teaching strategies. Again, it was discovered that only ECC and ETS made the
strongest contribution in predicting students’ entrepreneurial intention in Nigeria,
while only ECC made the strongest contribution in predicting students’ entrepreneurial
intention in Malaysia. Along the same line, qualitative findings supported the
quantitative findings on the effectiveness of entrepreneurial curriculum content and
xxi
explained negative students’ perceived views on the entrepreneurial teaching strategies
and the university environment. |
