Alakylän koulu; Definition of Entrepreneurial Learning

The most important thing in Entrepreneurial Learning is to develop the students' intrapreneurship. A teacher needs to know their students very well, their capabilities in the learning process and their different personalities.

A teacher also needs to use such pedagogic tools that enable students to play an active role in their learning and to use their creativity. Students need to be allowed to take risks and should receive realistic and supportive feedback from their assignments. Developing good interaction skills is also a very important goal in this process.

Escola de Comércio de Lisboa; Definition of Entrepreneurial Learning

Our position is that Entrepreneurial Learning is about continuous exploration and inquiry, innovation, anticipation and participation. Therefore, we apply a student-centered learning approach that leads students to take responsibility for their own learning. It entices them to explore, inquire, reflect and articulate, to collaborate and co-operate in active tasks requiring enhanced degrees of initiative, interest and motivation. Thus, we believe that this open pedagogy, that uses Project Work methodology, reflects the spirit of entrepreneurial learning, that is: personal awareness, improvement of social and soft skills, and problem-solving attitudes together with creative thinking.

Entreprenurial learning is when students learn about how to run a business around their choice of educational area; this enables them 'to see the entire picture' and find their position in a Company. Entreprenurial learning takes single curriculum subjects and all the bits and pieces of learning that the student has achieved through their studies, and brings them together into a 'whole experience' where they can be a leader, a worker or a person of importance within a Company. Through participation, each student can learn about finance and management and can deepen their skills. Most importantly, they can meet real life customers.

Queen Jadwiga Middle School Complex no. 10; Definition of Entrepreneurial Learning

Entrepreneurial learning is considered in our school as a way of providing knowledge in the field of management of various resources - such as one's own potential, time and financial means management, as well as a way of shaping abilities:

  • making choices on the basis of established criteria;
  • decision-making; solving problematic situations; communicating;
  • team work.

Entrepreneurial learning constitutes a preparation for the fulfilment of future roles, including citizen, worker and consumer. It is about shaping the attitudes of a creative person who is engaged in their own development and the development of the location in which they live, work and learn.
