Nurturing Students' Entrepreneurial Mindset

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that education and training play a significant role in the growth of entrepreneurial mindset. By participating in the entrepreneurial design thinking boot camp, students were exposed to the design thinking process, through its five steps, which are empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. This study uses a qualitative technique to obtain access to individual students' boot camp experiences to investigate and comprehend the boot camp's program effects on entrepreneurial mindset. The design thinking approach sparked students' interest in embracing an entrepreneurial mindset, as seen by their reflection report. The results of the study show that the students' learning process took place throughout the boot camp, and it was followed by a degree of growth in their curiosity, motivation, inner drive, initiative, creativity, and critical reflection. To stay up with the ever-changing business landscape, new educational techniques are needed to offer students with the skills and attitudes that employers today appreciate.
