The entrepreneurship competence is of vital importance in the teacher training of students. It is inconceivable that citizens who are trained in schools do not have the ability to be autonomous, ...creative and daring, to make decisions that transform the social life in which we are immersed for the better. However, we do not always find institutions with the right education to develop this competence. That is why the aim of this article is to propose a model for the representation and obtaining of knowledge about the entrepreneurship competence in any educational system. For this end, there are neutrosophic ontologies, which is a tool to easily reflect the relationships between concepts. The use of neutrosophy allows us taking into account the truthfulness, falseness and indeterminacy of the belonging of an object to a specific set, for its evaluation and classification. To the knowledge of the authors, this is the first time that neutrosophic ontology has been used to model entrepreneurship competence. Keywords: Entrepreneurship competence, ontology, neutrosophic ontology, education.

Transmigration program is a part of rural development to reduce poverty in which entrepreneurship was also developed. It becomes necessary to explore how the program affects the entrepreneurial ...aspects of the poor farmers. The objectives of this study are (1) to measure entrepreneurship skill, intention, risk taking, social valuation, and competence of poor farmers, (2) to know the impact of transmigration program in improving the competence of poor farmers, and (3) to analyze the influence of skills, intentions, risk taking, and social valuation toward entrepreneurial competence of poor farmers. One hundred twenty poor transmigrant and 120 local farmer households were interviewed in this study. The data were analyzed by descriptive quantitative method and multiple regression analysis by using SPSS 22. The results showed that transmigration program that provides farmland land freely can improve skill, entrepreneurship intention, risk taking capability, and social valuation of poor farmers. Yet, there is a gap between skills and intentions where entrepreneurship intentions are greater than their skills. The result shows that transmigrant entrepreneurship competence is higher than that of local farmers. However, social valuation of local households is higher than that of transmigrants due to their less adaptability in society. Regression analysis shows that social valuation, skills, intentions, and risk taking have a significant effect on both local and transmigrant entrepreneurship competencies. It can be concluded that transmigration program has successfully changed the mindset of poor farmers to become more entrepreneurial oriented and is one of the important factors in reducing the poverty level particularly in Gorontalo Province, Indonesia.
Building on the job demands-resources theory, this study aims to investigate how characteristics of entrepreneurship programs foster students’ study engagement and entrepreneurship competence. ...Longitudinal data were collected at three time points. A total of 154 Dutch students completed a questionnaire before, halfway, and at the end of an entrepreneurship program. The results of structural equation modelling demonstrated that program demands, such as a challenging learning environment and clear goals and standards, positively related to study engagement. In turn, study engagement was associated with entrepreneurship competence among students. Teacher-student relationships, as program resources, positively related to study engagement. However, the impact of student-student relationships on study engagement was not significant when compared to teacher-student relationships. This study contributes to entrepreneurship education research by providing empirical insights into the relationships between challenge demands, program resources, study engagement, and subsequent entrepreneurship competence. The findings also have practical implications for enhancing teaching effectiveness of entrepreneurship programs.
