Abstract


The study centered on Entrepreneurship Business Fund Management and Business Idea Generation as Determinants of Technopreneurial Intention of Building Technology Education students in Nigerian Colleges of Education. Two specific objectives and two null hypotheses guided the study. A descriptive survey research design was used for the study. Total population sample of 203 respondents was used for the study. Questionnaire titled SEETIQ was the instrument for data collection, and was validated by three experts from ATBU Bauchi and Federal College of Education (T) Potiskum. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach alpha, whereby reliability coefficient of 0.7 was obtained. Six research assistants helped in the data collection. Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), Version 26 was employed for data analysis. Linear regression analysis was used for testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that business fund management and business idea generation had significant influence on Technopreneurial Intention of Building Technology Students in Nigerian Colleges of Education. The study recommends that National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) should implement specialized training programme focusing on business fund management to enhance the Technopreneurial Intention of Building Technology students, and organize regular workshops, seminars, and mentorship programs on business idea generation in Nigeria.
