Abstract

Entrepreneurship education has become essential in recent years. This education system may not be unconnected with the global agitation for value creation, employability skills and job creation. Engaging in entrepreneurial training provides students with the skills needed to enhance their ability to create marketable and profitable solutions to emerging problems. To do this, many emerging entrepreneurs rely on technology to engage in entrepreneurship education. This study presents a machine learning technique to predict the adaptability level of students in online entrepreneurship education. The suitability of different algorithms like Random Forest, C5.0, CART and Artificial Neural Network was examined using the Kaggle Educational dataset. The algorithms recorded a high accuracy rate and affirmed machine learning techniques' ability to forecast students' adaptation to online entrepreneurship training. The findings of this research contribute to the field of online entrepreneurship education by providing a reliable and efficient approach for predicting students' adaptability. The proposed modified ensemble machine learning model can assist educators and administrators in identifying students who may require additional support, tailoring instructional strategies, and designing targeted interventions to enhance their adaptability and overall learning experience in online entrepreneurship education. © 2023
