Abstract

This study aimed at verifying the effect of experiential learning program on entrepreneurial mindset. This study was based on a quasi-experimental design. The subjects were 113 undergraduate students, in which without randomization, fifty-eight and fifty-five students were grouped to a treatment group and a control group, respectively. The subjects in the treatment group received the experiential learning intervention during six weeks. Meanwhile, the subjects in the control group received the problem-based instructional method. All subjects completed the entrepreneurial mindset scale at two measurement times (i.e., pre-test and post-test). Based on Shapiro-Wilk test, data were found not to be normally distributed. Hence, data were then analyzed using the non-parametric tests. Based on data analysis, the undergraduate students who involved in the experiential learning program had a higher entrepreneurial mindset than those who did not involve in the program. In addition, the undergraduate students who involved in the experiential learning program had an increased entrepreneurial mindset. This study provided a theoretical implication, in which it extended the literature of the Implicit Theory of Intelligence (ITI) and the Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) by providing the synthesis of both theories in the higher education context. This study also had a practical implication for the lecturers who have an interest in entrepreneurship education. According to our findings, the entrepreneurial mindset could be enhanced by the experiential learning program (i.e., the experiential learning intervention).
