The Entrepreneurial Mindset (TEM) among St. paul university (SPU) Manila Students: Basis for Course Improvement

Abstract

Using the College Students’ Entrepreneurial Mindset Scale (Jung, E., & Lee, Y.,2020) as tool, the study determined the Entrepreneurial Mindset of the students enrolled in SPU Manila. Quantitative research design was used. Data was gathered during the culminating activity of TEM which was a webinar on the same topic. The College Students’ Entrepreneurial Mindset Scale (CS-EMS) [25], a recently developed and validated assessment, with sub-constructs of innovativeness, need for achievement, risk-taking, autonomy, and proactiveness, which are the mindsets that are targeted for improvement across a wide spectrum of entrepreneurship classes, was used. Each of the items was measured with a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Higher scores indicate a higher level of the entrepreneurial mindset sub-factor. All students had the lowest mean score on the sub-concept “autonomy” with a verbal interpretation of agree. Most students strongly agreed that they have an “innovative” mindset and “need for achievement”
