The impacts of using modules on students’ entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions

Abstract

The covid-19 pandemic made classroom-based learning change into online-based digital learning. It leads to the students’ need for useful learning resources to study independently. The current research aimed to evaluate the impacts of module-assisted learning on students’ entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions. It was designed with a one-group quasi-experimental pre-and post-test, and the whole learning process was online. It was hypothesized that there will be a remarkable improvement in students’ entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions after they learn with the module. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to students of two selected universities. To test the deviation between the two population means, t-test formula was used. The results demonstrated that 1) the use of modules can significantly improve students’ entrepreneurial attitudes and 2) it cannot significantly increase their entrepreneurial intentions. Online learning of entrepreneurship with modules can increase entrepreneurial attitudes, but to increase entrepreneurial intentions, it is vital to explore learning strategies through maximum use of information technology.
