The teaching-learning process must be accompanied by the implementation of coordinated actions and resources to enhance the pedagogical and didactic process of teachers and direct their practice to the fulfillment of educational purposes and the motivation of students. Likewise, entrepreneurship has generated great interest among researchers, becoming a booming field of scientific research due to its contribution to economic development, employment generation, improvement of quality of life and promotion of innovation. The general objective of this research is to determine the relationship between pedagogical management and students' motivation for entrepreneurial activity as a result of the Entrepreneurship course of the Systems Engineering course at the Universidad Regional Autónoma de Los Andes, Uniandes-Ecuador. Scientific, non-experimental, historical-logical and systemic-structural methods are used; they are supported by Pearson's statistical test. The type of research is substantive, with a descriptive level and correlational design. Two questionnaires were applied, the first to 87 teachers of Uniandes-Ecuador to measure pedagogical management and the second to 114 students of the Entrepreneurship course to determine the motivation for entrepreneurial activity. Among the main results it is appreciated that mostly the students of the Entrepreneurship course present motivation for entrepreneurial activity.

Keywords : Pedagogical management; student motivation for entrepreneurial activity; entrepreneurship.
