| Abstract: | This paper examines whether the introduction of entrepreneurship education
based on concepts of experiential learning into the university curriculum has
had any positive effect on changing the entrepreneurial perceptions,
intentions and competencies of tertiary education students. The paper uses
Kolb’s model of experiential learning as a conceptual framework to interpret
the actions taken by the Singapore universities in introducing various forms
of entrepreneurship education schemes. Although it finds that there is
evidence to support claims that entrepreneurship education based on
experiential learning in undergraduate courses has had a positive effect on
changing entrepreneurial perceptions and intentions among Singapore
university students, the findings for entrepreneurial competencies are
inconclusive as important aspects of tolerance of failure and opportunity
recognition do not seem to have been positively affected. |
