The findings shows that for the overall multiple regression, the significant sub-variables for Business Management were Contextual Learning under the variable Entrepreneurial Learning, Entrepreneurial Alertness under Opportunity Recognition, Perceived feasibility under Entrepreneurial Event Model, and Extraversion and Agreeableness under Personality. On the other hand, the significant sub-variables when it comes to Entrepreneurship students included Entrepreneurial Alertness under Opportunity Recognition, Perceived Desirability and Propensity to Act under Entrepreneurial Event Model, and Extraversion and Agreeableness under Personality. The Adjusted R2 of the Multiple Regression Model for all of the variables combined for Business Management was 0.4891. The Multiple Regression Model of Entrepreneurship students which included all variables combined yielded an Adjusted R2 of 0.5656. Based on the findings, educators had implemented fresh methods of teaching and learning that were applicable to today's students and were making plans to further foster students' enterprising spirits in the future.
