Abstract
Entrepreneurship education plays a crucial role in higher education to increase student’s interests and capability of having an entrepreneurial mindset. This study aims to evaluate student’s perception of their institution, instructors and themselves towards entrepreneurship education to inform gamification design of entrepreneurship education in the 4IR era. Through knowledge transfer programs, a self-reported questionnaire was distributed to 3 participating universities in 3 ASEAN countries namely Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam measuring their perception of the current entrepreneurship education at their respective institutions. In total, 209 responses were received, comprising students from Malaysia (27.3%), Indonesia (42.6%) and Vietnam (30.1%). The results suggest that the combination of student’s perception of the institutions that provide necessary supports, the instructors’ abilities to deliver teaching materials in an engaging way and students’ openness to learn entrepreneurship influence the student’s openness to entrepreneurial education in higher education. These results imply useful inputs to design gamification strategies where the gamified teaching and learning within the institution, instructors and the students would influence better acceptance of entrepreneurial education courses.
