Abstract
There is currently much debate about what methodological innovations are necessary for entrepreneurship education in universities in the new competitive context. The current work describes the methodology, process of implementation and main results from the evaluation of the first year of a project to test an innovative teaching methodology involving the elaboration of business plans by multidisciplinary teams of university students studying degrees in chemical engineering, industrial engineering, computer engineering, and business management in the University of La Laguna (Spain). The results suggest that the methodology has the potential to boost entrepreneurial spirit among the students, and that it is a model of learning that is closer to reality than more traditional methodologies.
Highlights
The authors look at the main results
With regard to the promotion of entrepreneurial spirit (I7), 44% of the students manifest a clear predisposition toward entrepreneurship in the future, with 28.8% and 15.2% responding agree and strongly agree, respectively
The large group sizes and the separation between education centers put enormous difficulties in the way of the normal development of the work
Summary
The authors present the methodology they followed and the main results from the evaluation of the impact of participating in the project among the students. A group of professors at the University of La Laguna (Spain) who teach four courses from four different degree programs in business management and the engineering sciences carried out a project to test an innovative methodology for teaching entrepreneurship and inculcating entrepreneurial spirit among the students.
