EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Entrepreneurship education is a collection of formalized teachings that
informs, trains, and educates anyone interested in participating in socioeconomic
development through a project to promote entrepreneurship awareness,
business creation, or small business development. It is usually conceived more
broadly, seeking to foster self-esteem and confidence by drawing on the
individual’s talents and creativity, while building the relevant skills especially
entrepreneurial skills and values that will assist students in expanding their
perspectives on schooling and opportunities beyond.
The main objective of this research is to study the impact of inculcating
entrepreneurship education in schools in developing entrepreneurship skills of
students. 10 entrepreneurship students of Batangas State University were
interviewed and asked to answer the questionnaires.
Based on the result of the study, it can be concluded that (1)
Entrepreneurship education allows the aspiring entrepreneur to boost the
economy of the country by making higher quality goods or more innovative
products that can draw potential buyers nationally and internationally.
Entrepreneurship education influences students' way of learning because it has
tremendous leverage to everything and can come up with creative innovative
ideas because of what globalization provides to us. (2) In terms of their mental
and physical aspects, cultural values and traditional mindsets influence the
educational outcome of entrepreneurship students. Therefore, students face
5
Graduate School
challenges and problems that obstruct their education from the values and
cultures that an individual brings on the path of his learning. (3) Proposed
learning systems for entrepreneurship education can educate and provide people
with seminars that can help them learn about entrepreneurship, provide some
training grounds for some aspiring entrepreneurs to develop a potential career as
an entrepreneur, and highlight technology topics in curricular/curriculum, and the
university creates students to engage in social entrepreneurs

CHAPTER 1
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
The word entrepreneurship is being used nowadays. It means a lot of
things for a lot of people. For some, it connotes being your boss, having your
own time, or achieving freedom from a restricted eight to five job. For others, it
means doing a side hustle, participating in the gig economy, taking risks, or being
independent. It may have a different meaning, but one thing is agreed upon it is
often connected to doing some form of business that seems to be a financial risk
undertaken to pursue a demand in a market. It means a lot of things for a lot of
people nowadays because entrepreneurship is more relevant today than it was
ages ago. Spurs of successful businesses in the new millennia, such as huge
tech-companies launched by infamous college dropouts, have inspired many to
pursue their path to success as opposed to doing the daily grind as an employee.
Recent developments in the regulation of some economies have also given vast
opportunities for many to try other economic activities not confined under the
term ‘employment’. Today, one does not even need much money to start a
business. A business begins through crowdfunding or start-up initiatives. It can
also develop through independent character lenders or investment by a venture
capitalist or angel investor. Nowadays, if you have meaningful goals you want to
7
Graduate School
introduce to the world and as long as you have the courage and patience to
pursue it, you can be an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurship is the process of making progressive wealth and
innovating things of use that have a carriage on the welfare of a vital
entrepreneur. It magnifies the extension of social welfare and provides progress
with a large number of goods and services. Forming job occasion, innovation,
and enhance the economy is the importance of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs
are a proactive and very inspiring person who is ready to attain goals and the
individual beyond the entrepreneurship. Thus, they are the ones who can take
the economy, society, and the nation as the whole to the condition of progression
and success are entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurial skills are the foundation for continued economic growth in
the future (Robinson, 2008; Pinto et al., 2019). It can cover a wide variety of
different skill sets, such as technical expertise, skills in leadership and business
management, and creative thinking. Since entrepreneurial skills can be applied to
several different job roles and sectors, it can require learning many types of skill
sets to improve your entrepreneurial skills. You can need to improve your
business management skills to be a successful business owner. You might need
to develop your leadership and communication skills to create and maintain
effective project teams. Entrepreneurship abilities also have advantages
irrespective of whether an entity sees their future as starting a company. They
can be used in the personal and professional lives of individuals because they
8
Graduate School
involve ingenuity, initiative, tenacity, coordination, risk awareness, and a sense of
duty.
Entrepreneurship education focuses on developing real-world skills that
will help students to lead uncommon lives in a rapidly changing world. It nurtures
innovative and creative talent, which is a significant incentive for future growth.
Innovation-driven growth strategies currently place new demands on education
for entrepreneurship. Most of the current research and debate in this area,
however, focuses on the construction of teaching staff in the environment of
entrepreneurial education, the creation of curricula, and whether
entrepreneurship education can affect entrepreneurship intentions. Through an
entrepreneurship education program, colleges and universities have recognized
the importance of entrepreneurship education and are seeking to encourage the
personal development of the students. Entrepreneurship education's fundamental
purpose is to apply for a job and to build a new profession. Entrepreneurship
education teaches students crucial life skills, such as: how to collaborate and
work with a team, how to speak in public and prepare for an effective
presentation, how to collect and analyze data, how to use social media as an
advocacy tool, how to solve real, complex problems that do not have a definitive
answer, and how to use curiosity and creativity to find an innovative approach to
difficult problems. Students learn to grasp the cycle of product growth, come up
with their innovative business ideas, and deliver many presentations on the pitch.
This approach leads to a superior college prep experience that supports our
9

students long after graduation from high school. Entrepreneurship education is
not only useful for science, technology, and business students but also for art,
music, and humanities students to grow their imagination and learn how to apply
innovative creativity. Students benefit from entrepreneurship education by
training them for an unpredictable future. Entrepreneurship-focused programs
teach critical life skills to students that will assist them in navigating this
unpredictable future. Such strengths include problem-solving, teamwork,
empathy, as well as learning as part of the development process to acknowledge
failure. Education for entrepreneurship facilitates creativity, innovation, teamwork,
and helps students to recognize issues they have never experienced before an
ability that will be very useful in the world of tomorrow.
Entrepreneurs are essential in establishing a well and successful
business. They play a role in the development of our economy. In economic
development, with the help of entrepreneurs, people of underdeveloped countries
to core and work hard for their success. Entrepreneurs start to analyze economic
growth is crucial. Therefore, they increase entrepreneurship both quantitatively
and qualitatively. It is most significant to have quantity over quality. However,
they are both essential for business success. The concept of entrepreneurship is
improved when considered as a contributor to society's economy. Through this, it
can contribute to wealth. Wealth is created by an individual who accepts the risk
to provide value to each service. One way you can gain a sense of what is
10
Graduate School
business is like investigating to analyze the most significant assistance that may
result in wealth.
Also, this study aims to determine the impact of entrepreneurship
education to the students’ entrepreneurial skills. It also aims to show and explain
that there is a significant relationship between entrepreneurship education and
entrepreneurial skills. Because this will focus on entrepreneurial skills, this study
intends to provide the factors that affect the students in terms of different skills.
This study will greatly contribute not only to the students and
entrepreneurs but also to the researchers.

Communication, problem-solving skills, teamwork, self-management, and
preparation are other things that can be encouraged by entrepreneurship
education.
A sufficient and adequate plan would contribute to the issue of the
situation being answered. The researchers will formulate an effective method
using the diagram outlined below by both examining and providing a clear
strategy to shape the response to the questions.

Definition of Terms
Entrepreneurial education. It is defined as a whole education and
training activity (whether it is an educational system or a non-educational system)
that try to develop participants’ entrepreneurial intention or some factors that
affect the intention, such as knowledge, desirability, and feasibility of the
entrepreneurial activity (Liñan, 2004). In this study, the entrepreneurship
education is the design to know how it will greatly impact the student's
entrepreneurial skills and to relate its significant relationship to entrepreneurial
skills.
Entrepreneurial skills. It can encompass a broad range of various skill
sets like technical skills, leadership and business management skills and creative
thinking. Because entrepreneurial skills can be applied to many different job roles
and industries, developing your entrepreneurial skills can mean developing
several types of skill sets. (Alfreda, 2007) In this study, entrepreneurial skills are

METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the description of the research process. It provides
information concerning the method that was used in undertaking this research.
The chapter also describes the various stages of the research, which includes
the selection of participants, the data collection process, and the process of data
analysis. The chapter also discusses the role of the researcher in qualitative
research in relation to reflexivity. The Qualitative research implies an emphasis
on the qualities of entities and on processes and meanings that are not
experimentally examined or measured [if measured at all] in terms of quantity,
amount, intensity, or frequency.
Research Design
In this study, the researchers used qualitative method approach as a
research method.
This research used qualitative research in gaining information. According
to Mason (2002), through Qualitative research it can explore a wide array of
dimensions of the social world, including the texture and weave of everyday life ,
the understandings, experiences and imaginings of the research participants, the
ways that social processes , institutions , discourses or relationships work, and
the significance of the meanings that they generate. In qualitative research it’s
has an unrivalled capacity to constitute compelling arguments about how things
16
Graduate School
work in particular contexts. Further, qualitative research is best illustrative, and it
also practiced in casual and systematic ways.
In this study, discourse analysis is used. Based on Nordquist, (2019) It's a
broad term for the study of the ways in which language is used between people,
both in written texts and spoken contexts. Whereas other areas of language
study might look at individual parts of language, such as words and phrases
(grammar) or the pieces that make up words (linguistics), discourse analysis
looks at a running conversation involving a speaker and listener (or a writer's text
and its reader).
Moreover, based on Education Reform (2015), action research refers to a
wide variety of evaluative, investigative, and analytical research methods
designed to diagnose problems or weaknesses—whether organizational,
academic, or instructional—and help educators develop practical solutions to
address them quickly and efficiently. Action research may also be applied to
programs or educational techniques that are not necessarily experiencing any
problems, but that educators simply want to learn more about and improve. The
general goal is to create a simple, practical, repeatable process of literative
learning, evaluation, and improvement that leads to increasingly better results for
schools, teachers, or programs.

Findings
The researchers come up with the following findings after the analysis
and interpretation of the data gathered.
The following were the findings of the study:
1. Impact of effectiveness of the inclusion of entrepreneurship
education in promoting in the country.
Entrepreneurship education helps the future entrepreneur to improve
country's economy by creating a better quality of products or more innovative
products that can attract potential customers nationwide and globally.
Entrepreneurs develop new business and product that gives chance to other
people to have a proper job and a better life. Even in the future these
Entrepreneurs will continue support the economy's different country.
Entrepreneurship education helps the future entrepreneur because the aim is
to enhance the country's economic state. It helps the economy by providing job
opportunities. It was used to inspire young entrepreneurs for them to be able to
produce job opportunities. However, the inclusion of entrepreneurship
education in the Philippines reduces the struggles of an entrepreneur in the
work field by formulating and offering more interesting products to the market.
By the help of this, proper knowledge and skills can be learned. Also providing
them some advance information and knowledge about business opportunities
and preparing them to a broad perspective about their working field. And
somehow entrepreneurship education does affect the way of learning of the
36
Graduate School
students because it has a huge access in everything and can come up with
more ideas because of what globalization brings to us. Even though
entrepreneurship education in the Philippines is not that popular rather than
the other courses in business like accountancy, marketing, financial
management, etc. But since the country's economy is mostly run by
businesses, Philippines are taking it to another level by offering different
seminars and trainings from different organizations. Also, by valuing business
seminars, trainings and including entrepreneurship education as a program
that will enhance the skills and abilities of the students in handling business.
2. Difficulties encountered of the students while taking
entrepreneurship.
One of the difficulties that the students encountered while taking
entrepreneurship are the cultural beliefs and traditional mindset. It affects the
education outcome of entrepreneurship students because from the believes
and cultures that a person have within their life that person can carry those
believes and cultures on the way of its learning. In addition, it can also serve
as a struggle for the student to catch up with the lessons if he/she was not
been raised with that kind of topic scenario in life or topic that is being discuss.
Even though everyone has some differences, the good connection with each
other remains and still becoming productive on different levels of learning. And
having an ethics that will serve as the universal rule will let people work without
worrying their differences. On the other hand, mental and physical health are
37
Graduate School
involved in difficulties, but it will be coping by simply creating a goal or what we
call a 'time management' that is important to accomplish the task flawlessly.
3. Proposed learning systems that would be valid to enhance the
The proposed learning systems should pay more attention to the said
education and give citizens seminar that could help them learn about
entrepreneurship. Also providing some training grounds for some aspiring
entrepreneurs in building the future career as an entrepreneur. Additionally,
emphasizing technology topics in curricular/curriculum and the university
creates for students to participate in social entrepreneur content. For that case,
the students improve their knowledge, skills, and learnings. And maybe a day-
to-day virtual check-up for students. This may not help people to push through
but each of us needs someone to talk to or someone we can share something
and probably can provide or give something whether it is an advice or support
and that is also important as a student. We are also focusing for the
improvement of students by taking care of their mental health.
38

Conclusions
Based on the results and findings gathered by the researchers, the
following conclusions were drawn:
1. Entrepreneurship education allows the aspiring entrepreneur to boost
the economy of the country by making higher quality goods or more
innovative products that can draw potential buyers nationally and
internationally. This helps the aspiring entrepreneur because the aim is
to boost the economic condition of the nation. Entrepreneurship
education influences students' way of learning because it has
tremendous leverage to everything and can come up with creative
innovative ideas because of what globalization provides to us. Since the
economy of the country is mainly handled by businesses by offering
numerous seminars and training from different organizations, the
Philippines is bringing it to another level.
2. In terms of their mental and physical aspects, cultural values and
traditional mindsets influence the educational outcome of
entrepreneurship students. Therefore, students face challenges and
problems that obstruct their education from the values and cultures that
an individual brings on the path of his learning.
3. Proposed learning systems for entrepreneurship education can educate
and provide people with seminars that can help them learn about
entrepreneurship, provide some training grounds for some aspiring
39
Graduate School
entrepreneurs to develop a potential career as an entrepreneur, and
highlight technology topics in curricular/curriculum, and the university
creates students to engage in social entrepreneurs.
Recommendations
Recommendations were formed to improve the research study. The
following are the recommendations being offered by the researchers for the
significance of the study.
1. The school must not only focus on courses that are being take majorly by
a lot of students but also give equal valuing to every course that are
present especially same goes for entrepreneurship course because we all
know that entrepreneurs are the ones who also creates new job for the
people and when we say new job it means new course for that work field.
The school should also be generalize with the learning system or
education procedure for entrepreneurship education because in school
there are a lot of students with different cultures the school must disregard
this boundary safely because in-terms of entrepreneurship skills anyone
can have it and use it for the better.
2. The community must support the present and upcoming future
researchers because no matter how small that study that they will be
doing it because does small discoveries will truly help in the community’s
development special for the people living there. The community must give
value to entrepreneurship education and some of the skills of
40
Graduate School
entrepreneurs in the community for they are one of the keys to a
community’s success especially in-terms of innovation.
3. Entrepreneurship students should attend seminars and trainings about
being an entrepreneur. In prior to this, they could build their own
businesses and give people an opportunity to have a job. Attending to
seminars could also help them improve their skills on starting up a
business. They can be innovative in their products that could attract
potential customers. Proposed learning system is another way to help
future entrepreneurs to improve their skills on being an entrepreneur.
4. We recommend the future researchers to be more focus on the cultural
beliefs and traditional mindset. It is because this are the difficulties that
students encounter while taking up entrepreneurship. Focusing on the
curricular/curriculum could help students to improve their skills in building
a business. Mental and physical health is also considered, this is another
difficulty that students encounter while taking up entrepreneurship
education. It could help students improve their mental health and improve
their time management in achieving their goals on being an entrepreneur.
