While motivation and autonomy might not bedirect facets of EML, they are linked with the 3Cs, and provide students the opportunity to takeownership of their learning. Furthermore, an entrepreneurial mindset (EM) instills in studentssuch attributes as uncertainty tolerance, opportunity recognition, and healthy competition [2].Research has shown that a student’s motivation in a given educational assessment directlyinfluences their creativity, as well as critical thinking skills [3].
