The selected factors are attitudes towards entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship self-efficacy, subjective norms, proactive personality and teaching strategies. The method used in this study was descriptive-correlation which involved 166 students of Diploma in Entrepreneurship at Kolej Yayasan Melaka. The theoretical framework of the study was mainly based from the Ajzen-Fishbein’s intentions theory (1980), Shapero’s intentions model (1982), entrepreneurial intentions (Krueger & Carsrud, 1993), entrepreneurial self efficacy (Chen, Green & Crick, 1998) and the theory of proactive personality by Bateman and Crant (1993). The study utilised purposive sampling method (n=166) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation r was applied as a main statistical analysis for the study. The data was analysed at p<.01 significant level. The instrument used was modified based on several sources of past studies and had gone through a content validity process. The instrument has a reliability value with a Cronbach α range between .74 to .90. The results show that all the selected factors have a positive and significant correlation with entrepreneurial intentions. Attitudes towards entrepreneurship has the strongest relationship with entrepreneurial intentions (r=.69, p<.01), followed by subjective norms (r=.62, p<.01). Meanwhile, entrepreneurship self-efficacy (r=.48, p<.01), proactive personality (r=.41, p<.01), teacher centered teaching strategies (r=40, p<.01) and student centered teaching strategies (r=34, p<.01) have moderate and significant relationship with entrepreneurial intentions. As a conclusion, all the selected factors showed a significant and positive relationship with entrepreneurial intentions and both teaching strategies are equally important in determining entrepreneurial intentions based on students’ perceptions.
