The attitudes and skills in applying entrepreneurial values by Design and Technology (RBT) teachers are very important in attracting students’ entrepreneurial interests. This study was conducted to examine the entrepreneurial interests of level two students towards the implementation of entrepreneurship teaching and learning by RBT teachers based on two elements, namely attitudes and skills in the application of entrepreneurial values. The research design is descriptive, while the research method is quantitative, and data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. The sample of this study was selected using the simple random sampling technique. A total of 86 teachers who teach RBT subjects and 59 level two primary school students were selected. The researchers used a questionnaire instrument to collect the data in this study. Descriptive analysis was used to identify the attitudes and skills in applying entrepreneurial values among teachers who teach entrepreneurship topics in RBT subjects towards the entrepreneurial interests of level two students as well as to identify the entrepreneurial interests of the level two students. Correlation analysis was also used to identify the relationship of teachers’ attitudes and skills in applying entrepreneurial values with the level two students’ entrepreneurial interests. The results of this study can give a true picture of the entrepreneurial interests of level two students along with the attitudes and skills in applying entrepreneurial values among primary school teachers in the district of Rompin, Pahang. The findings show that students’ entrepreneurial interests in the implementation of entrepreneurship teaching and learning are at a high level with a mean score of 4.77, followed by the mean scores of 4.83 and 4.69 for teachers’ attitudes and teachers’ entrepreneurial value application skills, respectively. The researchers propose that further studies diversify the research instrument by using in-depth interviews or focus groups with teachers to obtain students’ views and perceptions of entrepreneurial interests.
