Abstract
Oggetto: Questo articolo esplora il passaggio da una concezione “ristretta” a una “ampia” di educazione all'imprenditorialità, sottolineando il suo ruolo nella promozione di una mentalità imprenditoriale non intesa soltanto come creazione di nuove imprese. L'articolo esamina le sfide principali riguardanti la valutazione dell'efficacia di programmi che abbraccino una prospettiva ampia di entrepreneurship education, l'integrazione della tecnologia e il coinvolgimento degli studenti.
Disegno/metodologia/approccio: Lo studio si basa su una revisione della letteratura più recente sull'educazione all'imprenditorialità, evidenziando i principali framework teorici, i metodi di valutazione delle prestazioni e il modo in cui la tecnologia può essere integrata nei programmi di entrepreneurship education.
Risultati: La transizione verso una concezione ampia di educazione all'imprenditorialità rende indispensabile lo sviluppo di nuove metodologie di valutazione, innovazioni pedagogiche e strategie educative adattive. I tradizionali schemi di valutazione incentrati sul business sono insufficienti per misurare lo sviluppo della mentalità imprenditoriale e gli impatti a lungo termine dell'entrepreneurship education. In tali percorsi formativi la tecnologia può svolgere un duplice ruolo, migliorando e mettendo a dura prova l'attuazione di programmi di entrepreneurship education. Inoltre, i valori sociali e le sfide globali possono servire come fattori stimolanti utili a coinvolgere gli studenti nei programmi di educazione all'imprenditorialità.
Implicazioni pratiche e sociali: Un approccio più ampio all'educazione all'imprenditorialità può fornire agli studenti competenze applicabili in vari ambiti sociali ed economici. Le riflessioni proposte nel paper riguardo a progettazione di programmi efficaci, strategie di coinvolgimento degli studenti e metodi di valutazione possono essere utili per indirizzare le politiche educative e le pratiche istituzionali. Inoltre, l'integrazione di strumenti digitali e l'allineamento dell'educazione all'imprenditorialità con le sfide della società possono migliorarne l'accessibilità e la rilevanza.
Originalità dello studio: Questo articolo contribuisce alla discussione in corso riguardo al concetto di "wide entrepreneurship education", sintetizzando le recenti prospettive degli studiosi e identificando le aree critiche per la ricerca futura. Evidenzia la necessità di nuovi modelli teorici, strategie di formazione degli educatori e quadri di valutazione completi per sostenere l'evoluzione dell'educazione all'imprenditorialità nei contesti educativi contemporanei.
