This paper presents a study relating to pedagogy approach involving the role of educators, self-directed learning, constructivist learning environment, and students' entrepreneurial endeavor. A conventional pedagogy in class would deploy educators or lecturers as main actors, and students would be on the receiving ends. Currently, many studies have been the focus on finding the best pedagogy in entrepreneurship education. This study is to explore the social constructivist approach in which is said able to encourage students to explore and create their technology business venture in the future while educators would act as mentors to guide students. The study also sought to determine how much educators' role and self-directed learning influence students' entrepreneurial endeavors through the constructivist learning environment. Students from technology entrepreneurship classes were invited to take part in the online survey. Findings had shown that the roles of educators and self-directed learning have a positive effect on an entrepreneurial endeavor. However, a constructive learning environment does not influence an entrepreneurial endeavor. Educators play an essential role in students' self-directed learning that contributes to the constructivist learning environment and their entrepreneurial endeavor. Overall, all variables have a moderate impact on the entrepreneurial endeavor. The level of the constructivist learning environment is still low but promising. Recommendation and suggestions are provided.
