Entrepreneurship skills for students with learning disabilities: A review from Malaysian National Curriculum

Abstract

Entrepreneurship skills are the most powerful weapon to drive entrepreneurial spirit and give practical competencies that enable students with learning disabilities to start their own businesses. Therefore, sustaining entrepreneurship skills are an effective venture to enhance an independent and productive living for students with learning disabilities. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the fundamental knowledge on entrepreneurship skills emphasized by the Ministry of Education Malaysia as an element across the curriculum for students with learning disabilities. However, entrepreneurship skills among students with learning disabilities remain behind in terms of research and importance. Thus, more researches are very crucial in this field. Reviews of relevant literature in articles using search engines are the main methodology in this study. Total six most relevant articles were selected out of 178 articles after the screening process. As a result, there are five entrepreneurship skills listed by the Ministry of Education Malaysia to be achieved through elements across the curriculum in teaching and learning activities for students with learning disabilities. The impact of this study provides the literature review on entrepreneurship skills to future researchers.
