Abstract

The study examined leveraging Public Private
Partnership (PPP) approach for technology-driven
teaching and learning of entrepreneurship in Southeast
Nigerian Universities. Two research questions were
answered while two hypotheses were tested. Multistage
sampling technique was used to select 203 respondents
for the study. The instrument for data collection for the
study was a structured questionnaire and face-validated
by three experts. To obtain the reliability of the
instrument, Cronbach Alpha reliability technique was
used which yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.934,
indicating that the instrument was about 93% reliable for
data collection for the study. Out of the 203 copies of the
questionnaire administered, 194 copies were completely
responded to, returned and considered suitable for the
study. Data were analysed using mean and t-test
statistics. From the data analysed, the results identified
12 Public Private Partnership (PPP) approaches for
technology-driven
teaching
and
learning
of
entrepreneurship studies and 15 potentials of well
coordinated Public Private Partnership (PPP) for
technology-driven
teaching
entrepreneurship
studies
in
and
learning
southeast
of
Nigerian
Universities. The results on the hypotheses tested showed
that no significant (p<0.05) difference existed in the mean
ratings of the responses of Entrepreneurship Studies Lecturers and Administrators. Based on these findings,
the study recommended improved collaborations of public
institutions with private investors for adequate funding
and management of entrepreneurship programmes to
actualize technology-driven instruction for quality
education in Nigeria.
