YENİLİKÇİ YAKLAŞIMLARLA GİRİŞİMCİLİK OGRETIMI: BIR EGITIMCININ PEDAGOJİK BAKIS ACISI

Abstract

A variety of teaching methods and strategies are used in the education department, but not transferred effectively from there to the other departments, such as business and economy. As educators’ pedagogical knowledge is as important as their subject knowledge to increase students’ learning of the subject studied, this study aims to improve educators’, particularly entrepreneurship educators’, pedagogical knowledge and support their professional development. In this paper, after presenting a brief understanding of entrepreneurship, teaching methods and strategies that are used in the business and economics departments are summarized. Four practical teaching methods and strategies, such as the jigsaw method, are drawn from education literature and exemplified to contribute to increasing the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education. This study contributes to the field by providing educators with practical and innovative teaching methods and strategies to help create higher-achieving, well-motivated students who have a higher tendency to transfer their entrepreneurial intention to entrepreneurship behaviour.
