| Abstract | This research aimed to 1) compare students’ entrepreneurial skills before and after participating in design thinking activities under a multidisciplinary and international collaborative learning project, and 2) investigate the relationships between each phase of the design thinking process and entrepreneurial skills. The participants were 60 Thai students from a university in northern Thailand who were selected to participate in the international collaboration program. The research instruments included an entrepreneurial skills questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The results showed 1) students’ entrepreneurial skills significantly improved after participating in the program, particularly in communication, critical and creative thinking, and management skills at 0.05 level. However, the improvement in teamwork orientation was not changed. And 2) the prototype and test phases showed the strongest positive relationship with teamwork skills, and a strong positive relationship with critical thinking and creativity, management, and communication skills. In contrast, the empathize, define, and ideate phases were not significantly related to entrepreneurial skills. The results suggest that students need to engage in the complete design thinking process to achieve substantial improvement in entrepreneurial skills. |
