Entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship intention: a case study of changemakers mindset (design thinking) module / Nurul Hidayana Mohd Noor, Mohd Ramlan Mohd Arshad and Nur Zafifa Kamarunzaman.

The Changemakers Mindset (Design Thinking) module was first implemented during interim session and was made compulsory to all first-year diploma students of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). The main objective of the module is to expose the students to entrepreneurial attitude, behaviour, and skills. Therefore, this study aims to examine the level of the Changemakers Mindset (Design Thinking) module and also to assess the relationship between the outcome of the module and the level of entrepreneurship intention. In addition, this study also aims to examine if there is any significance difference between male and female students in term of the entrepreneurship intention level. In particular, at the end of the module (30th July 2018), a survey study on a sample of 200 students was conducted and the data have been analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to obtain the descriptive analysis and correlation analysis that describe the proposed relationship. T-test also has been performed to assess the significance differences in term of gender in the level of entrepreneurship intention. The findings revealed that the level of the module was at strong and good level. Second, there was a significant and positive correlation between the module and the level of entrepreneurship intention, and finally, the entrepreneurship intention was found to have no significant difference across gender. Since there is a lack of study to analyze the public universities students’ entrepreneurship intention in Malaysia, this study attempts to fill this gap. In addition, the study also aims to improve the current module and to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the module.
