This study explores how teaching strategies and entrepreneurial motivation influence students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy. A survey was conducted with 990 students from Southwest China, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the research hypotheses. Hayes's bootstrapping method was also used to examine how entrepreneurial self-efficacy served as a mediator between teaching strategies, entrepreneurial motivation, and students' entrepreneurial orientation. The results found that teaching strategies and entrepreneurial motivation positively and significantly affected students' self-efficacy, which have important implications for educators and policymakers. Specifically, entrepreneurial motivation was identified as a crucial factor that fosters self-efficacy, serving as an essential mediator linking entrepreneurial education to students' entrepreneurial orientation. This result implies that universities should incorporate interactive learning methods, case studies, and goal-setting workshops into their curricula to strengthen students' entrepreneurial orientation. Furthermore, policymakers must create supportive ecosystems that fund entrepreneurial education and provide mentorship opportunities. These initiatives can help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical entrepreneurial application by equipping students with hands-on experience and real-world problem-solving skills crucial to entrepreneurial success
