“…Entrepreneurship is widely acknowledged as an antidote to graduate unemployment (Mamun et al , 2015; Otache, 2019) and the only alternative to paid employment is self-employment (i.e. entrepreneurship) (Aladejebi, 2018). It has been observed that the curricula for Nigeria’s higher education institutions (HEIs) are developed to prepare undergraduate students for paid-employment or white-collar jobs (Undiyaundeye and Otu, 2015).…”

“…Even among the few studies conducted on the African continent, empirical studies on the direct effects of EE on students’ EIs conducted in the Nigerian context are very limited. The few studies conducted in the Nigerian context did not explore the specific effects of EE on students’ EIs and adopted a cross-sectional approach (Aladejebi, 2018; Ayedun and Ajayi, 2018; Babatunde and Durowaiye, 2014; Chukwuma and Ogbeide, 2017; Okeke et al , 2016). Thus, this longitudinal study narrows the research gap by empirically exploring both the direct and the indirect effects of EE on students’ EIs in Nigeria.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to employ a longitudinal approach to assess the effects of entrepreneurship education (EE) on students’ entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) through the constructs of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), which include attitudes towards behaviour (ATB), subjective norms (SN) and perceived behavioural control (PBC). Specifically, this study aims to achieve two objectives: first, to determine if students’ ATB, SN, PBC and EIs would increase significantly after their exposure to EE; and second, to establish whether students’ ATB, SN and PBC mediate the relationship between EE and their EIs. Design/methodology/approach This longitudinal study employed a one-group pretest-posttest experimental research design. A self-reported questionnaire was administered to a randomly selected sample of 250 National Diploma students from five polytechnics in the North Central part of Nigeria before and after they were exposed to EE. To achieve the objectives of this study, repeated-measures t-test and partial least squares structural equation modelling were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences and SmartPLS, respectively, for data analysis. Findings The results of the paired-samples t-test showed that students’ ATB, SN, PBC and EIs increased significantly after their exposure to EE. Also, further data analysis revealed that EE had a significantly positive relationship with students’ ATB, SN, PBC and EIs. Similarly, the results of the structural model indicated that ATB had a significantly positive link with students’ EIs and also mediated the relationship between EE and students’ EIs. SN and PBC had a positive but not statistically significant relationship with students’ EIs and did not mediate the relationship between EE and students’ EIs. Practical implications The findings of this study provide interesting implications for EE and entrepreneurship policies in Nigeria. More specifically, the findings provide some practical implications for the Nigerian government and the EE curriculum developers. To achieve greater impact of EE on students’ EIs at the tertiary education level, the Nigerian government should incorporate EE into the curricula at the primary and secondary education levels. Equipping students at the primary and secondary education levels with entrepreneurial knowledge, competencies and skills would enable them to develop a strong entrepreneurial mindset even before they gain admission to tertiary institutions. Originality/value It is one of the few studies that have tested empirically both the direct and the indirect effects of EE on students’ EIs in a single study. Thus, it helps to further clarify the links between EE and EIs. Besides, it is among the first studies to adopt a longitudinal approach to assess the effects of EE on students’ EIs through the constructs of the TPB (i.e. ATB, SN and PBC) in the Nigerian context.

“…According to Mwasalwiba (2010) as cited in Aladejebi (2018), entrepreneurship education was started by Shigeru Fiji in 1938 at Kobe University in Japan. Due to the perceived importance of entrepreneurship, a number of studies around the world, over the years, have been conducted with a view to establishing the relevance of entrepreneurship education to national development.…”

Every economy who intends to grow will never put women entrepreneurial drives and skills at the backspace as they serve as engine room for every prosperous economy. Nonetheless, female entrepreneurs lack most often the financial access and the right human capacity development, which impinge their business growth due to their various mindsets’ drawbacks created by poor risk attitude. This study therefore is specifically aimed at evaluating the relationship between level of education and entrepreneurial risk attitudes with particular reference to market women in Lagos, Nigeria. The study adopted questionnaire as a source of data collection among 123 respondents, drawn from 15 purposive selected markets in Lagos, Nigeria. Correlation technique approach was adopted to explain the relationships between the measuring constructs in the study. The findings from the study revealed a not significant relationship between entrepreneurs’ level of education and their entrepreneurial risk attitudes (r = .080, p = .380 > 0.05). The study further established a correlation between level of education and entrepreneurial risk attitudes dimensions (risk aversion, risk neutrality and risk preference) where no association exist between level of education and risk aversion (r = .154, p = .089> 0.01). However, a strong positive and significant relationship were found between level of education and risk neutrality (r = .526, p = .000< 0.01) and risk preference (r = .524, p = .000< 0.01) respectively. The study conclusion showed that risk seeking behaviour is not moderated in the entrepreneurial pursuit of market women in Lagos State. The responses of the respondents largely proved that the level of education among market women hasn’t created any form of risk consciousness. Thus, the researchers recommended that risk management education should be considered as a focal point in the development of the market women psychologically and sociologically to get attracted to insurance in order to manage possible entrepreneurial failure.

“…Utami (2017) menyatakan bahwa entrepreneur education adalah pembelajaran dalam disiplin nilai, kapabilitas, dan akhlak dalam berhadapan dengan berbagai challenge untuk mengejar peluang dengan berbagai masalah yang mungkin muncul. Menurut Aladejebi (2018), tujuan utama dari entrepreneurial education di perguruan tinggi adalah agar lulusan perguruan tinggi tersebut memiliki keterampilan yang akan memberi mereka kesempatan untuk terlibat dalam kewirausahaan yang dapat memberikan income. Tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor eksternal minat berwirausaha juga dipengaruhi oleh personality seseorang.…”

“…Penelitian keempat dilakukan oleh Chalik & Rahayu (2018) dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh entrepreneurial education, lingkungan keluarga dan personality terhadap minat berwirausaha mahasiswa dan hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tidak terdapat pengaruh positif entrepreneurial education terhadap minat berwirausaha namun terhadap pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap lingkungan keluarga dan personality. Aladejebi (2018) menyatakan entrepreneurial education pertama-tama akan memperkuat sikap positif siswa terhadap niat berwirausaha. Kedua, tingkat ketergantungan siswa pada kelompok referensi sosial menurun yang memberi mereka kesempatan untuk mengambil keputusan yang lebih jelas.…”
