can we measure entrepreneurial intentions among high school students?
Yes. Use the Theory of Planned Behaviour approach. Simple and complex questionnaire options. But students need to have been exposed to the idea and concepts associated with Entrepreneurship

As an action researcher i would ask the question differently. I would ask: "How can I facilitate entrepreneurship among secondary school students?" I like the approach of Jack Whitehead and Jean McNiff (2009) in their book "Doing and Writing Action Research". The core question is: "How can I/we improve what I/we are doing?" I have seen this done even with children i kindergarten. See: Eva Daae Kversøy . We can do entrepreneurial exploration for example through questions like: "What is the situation at hand? What do I need? What do I wish for? What would I like to do about it? What am I willing to commit to do to reach my/our desired change?" Norliana Abd Majid Simon Stephens
If i say that the measurement of entrepreneurial intention as the key performance indicator (KPI) of the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education at the school level, anyone agrees?
Measuring intent, even if it really is possible, does not cut it for me. Entrepreneurial action and reflection will be the areas for assessing effectiveness. Typical questions (qualitative) for assessing entrepreneurial «effect» would be: «What have you done? What have you discovered? What was hard to understand? What would you like to further explore? What would you like to further develop?» In this way you will not only show effect but also create an assessment procedure that is in itself a learning prosess for the students involved. This procedure wil give good empiral data.
