Abstract
This study examined the influence of entrepreneurial education approach on the level of financial stability in Oyo State. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated for the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. The population for the study consisted 1500 Business Education undergraduate students. Simple random sampling techniques was used to select Part III business education undergraduate students. The sample size for the study was 150 respondents from three colleges of education in Oyo State. Self structured questionnaire was developed for the study. A 40-item "Entrepreneurship Education and Financial Stability Questionnaire" (EEFSQ) was validated by three experts from the Kwara State University, Malete and used in data collection. The EEFSQ was pilot tested on 30 respondents who were not a part of the study sample. In order to evaluate the consistency of the EEFSQ, Cronbach Alpha statistics were used, and they yielded reliability values of 0.84 and 0.80 for the independent and dependent variables, respectively. One hundred and fifty respondents responded to the instrument, which was administered. In order to find the answers to the study questions and test the hypotheses, data were analyzed using linear regression analysis at the significant level of .05. The study discovered that experiential and transdisciplinary teaching strongly predict financial stability. It was recommended that educators at various stages should introduce students to real-world scenarios when teaching entrepreneurship education.
