Digital entrepreneurship, competence, Higher Education, questionnaireAbstract
Entrepreneurship and digital skills are key competences that students must acquire throughout their formal education. The EmDigital model was developed to assess digital entrepreneurship competence by combining both. This model describes the competence of digital entrepreneurship in terms of four areas and 15 subcompetences. The aim of the study is to validate a quantitative instrument to measure digital entrepreneurship competence in university students. The following techniques were used: focus group, expert judgement, cognitive interviews and Exploratory Factor Analysis. A pilot sample of 190 final year undergraduate students (60% were female with an average age of 24.97) was used. The reliability of the instrument was very good. The AFE results show an instrument composed of 4 factors that explain 43% of the variance. Based on the results, the instrument has been revised and a definitive questionnaire has been created. This final version of the questionnaire is introduced in this article. The data only reflect gender differences in one of the dimensions of the instrument, namely the identification of opportunities, where men score higher.
