Proposing a New Framework of Entrepreneurial Education and Intention in Indonesia: The Modified Theory of Planned Behaviour

Education contributes to more individual confidence and the ability to choose and make the right decisions while increasing creativity and innovation and fostering morals, character, and intellect. The variety of universities in the preparation and implementation of entrepreneurship programs makes concerns about those. This conceptual paper studies the practices of entrepreneurial education dimension toward the elements of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). The proposed framework aims to analyse whether the practice of the entrepreneurial education dimension consisting of curriculum, teaching methodology, and university role affects the behavioural characteristics of TPB which includes attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control further affecting students' interest in entrepreneurship. Another objective of this conceptual article is to provide an alternative framework for the entrepreneurial education dimension and its effect on each variable in the theory of planned behaviour. Overall, there are six hypotheses proposed by the researchers in this conceptual article. The recommended method to test the conceptual framework is the structural equation model analysis where mediation variables are applied. The validity test shall use confirmatory factor analysis while the reliability test uses Cronbach's Alpha. This article suggests further research for empirical testing by collecting data from respondents, i.e., students in universities which then shall be analysed using a structural equation model.
