Existing research suggests that
entrepreneurship education is mostly understood and implemented within a
business-related framework, which is often questioned especially by teachers in
compulsory education. In this chapter, we suggest a sharper focus on enterprise
education pedagogy, as opposed to
business and enterprise education as content.
The focus on pedagogy emphasises that the goal for enterprise education is not
supporting venture creation but active citizenship, fostering enterprising
behaviour and helping the person be an enterprising individual. The chapter
discusses how enterprise education pedagogy can be implemented in compulsory
education and how it can positively affect school motivation and learning even
in demanding educational contexts. By relying on theory of self-regulation, the
chapter contributes to making sense of why entrepreneurship education pedagogy
is efficient in supporting learning. The chapter suggests that development of
self-regulation skills may be an appropriate new metric – learning outcome – for
enterprise education pedagogy and related assessments.
