Abstract
Living in an era based around business and the economy as the center-point for making a living, developing entrepreneurial aptitude (DEA) is necessary for the younger generations of entrepreneurs. This study aims to determine the DEA of the Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) students at Talisay City National High School. A descriptive research design was utilized in this study with a sample size of one hundred (100) respondents out of one hundred thirty-five (135) total population taken from four (4) sections of the ABM strand using a random sampling technique. The data collected were analyzed using a weighted mean and percentage. The research findings revealed an average weighted mean of three-point zero seven (3.07), which is interpreted as “Agree,” implying that the students have learned and enhanced their entrepreneurial aptitude through business enterprise simulation (BES). The researchers concluded that the DEA of the students through BES has been learned through theoretical knowledge and hands-on learning modalities that simulate starting, running, and managing a business. The researchers concluded that students should partake in junior business managing events as much as possible. In contrast, the business simulation is closer to an expert level or real-life business managing program on a larger scale compared to the basic standard to enhance real-life-based experience being closer to founding an actual business.
