“…Furthermore, subjective norms are positively related to sustainable entrepreneurial intentions among Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Latin American students (Pascucci et al, 2022). Nguyen et al (2022) have proven that subjective norms mediate the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intentions. Therefore, social norms will be considered a predictor of sustainability propensity, and the following hypotheses are formulated:…”

“…Individuals who are more oriented toward SD and nature preservation tend to act by their values (Wagner, 2012). Attitudes toward entrepreneurship were found to be positively related to entrepreneurial intention by Nguyen et al (2022), but depending on the cultural context, attitudes may or may not influence entrepreneurial decisions, as concluded by Mykolenko et al (2022). This is the case of a study conducted on Indonesian students, whereby attitudes toward green entrepreneurship were not found to be related to green entrepreneurial intentions (Prabowo et al, 2022).…”

“…In recent years, a considerable amount of research evaluated the impact of higher education on sustainability (Littledyke et al , 2013), where educational institutions are seen as change agents (Shields, 2019) whose focus is on the development of sustainability-related topics. As such, Mykolenko et al (2022) and Nguyen et al (2022) found that entrepreneurial education has a positive impact on attitudes toward entrepreneurship. However, existing research shows that education for sustainability may not necessarily influence attitudes toward sustainability (Kusumojanto et al , 2021).…”

“…It has been recognized that under high entrepreneurial selfefficacy and high scarcity of industry resources, individuals do not adhere to their proenvironmental values when assessing the environmental damage caused by taking advantage of opportunities (Shepherd et al, 2013). Nguyen et al (2022) have tested the mediating effect of attitudes on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intention for Vietnamese engineering students. Bazkiaei et al (2020) have shown that attitude toward entrepreneurship has a IJSHE 25,2 mediating role in the relationship of entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial intention.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the influence of sustainability education in 15 Indian universities and the mediating role of the theory of planned behavior in predicting students’ intentions to start an enterprise supporting sustainability. Design/methodology/approach The data, which consists of 422 samples, was collected from 15 universities in India. It was analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling, which is frequently used for prediction models. The model was further checked for goodness-of-fit using Amos. Findings The results suggested that personal and subjective norms play a mediating role in shaping the intentions of students to choose entrepreneurship in the sustainability field. Education on sustainability has a significant influence on personal and subjective norms, and these norms further help to develop entrepreneurial intentions. Practical implications The study will be helpful for researchers and universities in understanding the importance and stake of including courses on sustainability. Social implications As the results suggest, social norms play a significant role in determining entrepreneurial intentions; therefore, the study will develop a societal culture of start-up education and ethos. Originality/value The research is original and one of the first to examine the mediating role of the theory of planned behavior on the relationship between education and intentions to start a sustainable enterprise.

Local business actors play an important role in realizing sustainable ecotourism through good business governance. Various strengthening actions are needed, one of which is in terms of environmental costs in business development. This research aims to analyze how business behavior can influence community participation, social capital, economic costs and environmental costs in sustainable ecotourism management efforts in Padusan Village, Pacet District, Mojokerto Regency. Local business behavior through community participation can shape the social capital that occurs in Padusan Village. This research on business behavior uses quantitative descriptive methods with SEM-PLS analysis. A total of 178 questionnaires were distributed to the community and ecotourism business owners in Padusan Village. The research results show that business behavior has a significant effect on community participation, social capital, environmental costs, and economic costs both directly and indirectly. Ecotourism business behavior has an indirect negative influence on environmental costs through the mediating variable of economic costs. Apart from that, business behavior also has a significant influence on social capital, both directly and indirectly. The indirect positive influence of ecotourism business behavior on social capital occurs through the participation and involvement of local communities in business activities. Based on the research results, it shows that ecotourism business behavior has an impact on the environmental costs that must be incurred as well as social capital in local community participation. So business people need to implement good environmental control strategies by adopting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) measures to achieve sustainable ecotourism goals.

Virtual sketching‐based dental anatomy module improves learners' abilities to use computer‐aided design to create dental restorations and prostheses

Dental anatomy education for dental technology students should be developed in alignment with digital dental laboratory practices. We hypothesized that a virtually assisted sketching‐based dental anatomy teaching module could improve students' acquisition of skills essential for digital restoration design. The second‐year dental technology curriculum included a novel virtual technology‐assisted sketching‐based module for dental anatomy education. Pre‐ and post‐course assessments evaluated students' skill sets and knowledge bases. Computer‐aided design (CAD) scores were analyzed after one year to assess how the skills students developed through this module impacted their subsequent CAD performance. Participants who undertook the dental sketching‐based teaching module demonstrated significantly improved theoretical knowledge of dental anatomy, dental aesthetic perception, and spatial reasoning skills. A partial least squares structural equation model indicated that the positive effects of this module on subsequent CAD performance were indirectly mediated by dental aesthetic perception, spatial reasoning, and practice time. A virtually assisted sketching‐based dental anatomy teaching module significantly improved students' acquisition of skills and knowledge and positively mediated dental technology students' CAD performance.
