Entrepreneurship Education: Assessing the Effectiveness of the Module from Students’ Perspective

There has been a phenomenal growth in the number of institutions offering entrepreneurship programmes because of the rising awareness of the significance of entrepreneurship education from public authorities. Although, the number of entrepreneurship education is increasing, the rate at which the programme is assessed with respect to teaching methods, contents, and its harmonisation towards the desired objectives of the programmes is minimal. In order to empirically ascertain the state of the module, it becomes prudent to examine the effectiveness of the module from the perspective of the students. A case study approach was adopted using students of Cape Coast Polytechnic, Ghana. Purposive sampling was used and questionnaires were administered to the students. The result revealed a mixed findings as students were appreciative of the key concepts of the module but wanted more improvements in some other aspects. Given the mixed findings, entrepreneurship education in Ghana needs a paradigm shift if it is to achieve its intended objectives as suggested by the researchers per the observation from the findings.
