Abstract:

The Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship Program identified five significant competencies that its graduates must possess: entrepreneurial orientation and motivation; identification of business opportunities; preparation of business plans; completion of requirements to start a business; and efficient and effective operation and management of a business. The researchers believe that entrepreneurship teachers play a vital role in developing these competencies through proper teaching methods, hence this research. Ten personal entrepreneurial competencies adopted from the Management Systems International and McBer Team questionnaire and were aligned with the Minimum Curricular Requirements for Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (CMO No. 17, s 2005) set by the Commission on Higher Education were used. Ex-ante analysis indicated that students had moderately high scores in all the ten competencies, while ex-post analysis in their senior year revealed high scores in goal setting but moderately high scores in the other competencies. The t-test, however, showed a very significant difference in commitment to work contract, demand for quality and efficiency, goal setting, information seeking, persuasion and networking, and self-confidence, while a significant difference was noted in opportunity seeking and persistence. A significant relationship was also noted between presentations and persistence and commitment to work contract; immersion environments and self- confidence; portfolio and self-confidence and risk-taking; role-playing and persistence; and demonstration and self-confidence. Student presentations, collaborative learning, immersion environments, and management games are considered very effective teaching methods. The results of the study benefit faculty members teaching entrepreneurship so that they can select the most appropriate teaching methods related to the student's personal entrepreneurial competencies.
