Development And Acceptability Of Instructional Materials In Methods Of Research For Entrepreneurship Using Computer-Assisted Instruction

Abstract

The research evaluates the acceptability and effectiveness of instructional materials used in the "Methods of Research for Entrepreneurship" course across four Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship (BSE) classes. The results indicate a high level of acceptability for the instructional materials, with average ratings ranging from 4.70 to 4.84, categorized as "Highly Acceptable." An impressive improvement in student performance was observed from pretest to posttest across all sections, with t-values indicating statistical significance at p < 0.001. These findings suggest that the instructional materials significantly enhance student learning outcomes, leading to a better understanding and application of the Methods of Research for Entrepreneurship course. This research contributes to the formulation of effective pedagogical strategies for entrepreneurship education, highlighting the significant role of methodically designed instructional materials in improving student performance.
