PEDAGOGICAL INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Teaching students to be entrepreneurs poses a challenge from a pedagogical perspective. for students to become entrepreneurs they must learn how to identify and pursue opportunities that create change and result in sustainable value for society. it involves student ability to apply their knowledge about how to launch a new enterprise[halonen et al.2002 p.284].Introducing entrepreneurship courses in higher education builds core competence among students ,even though not all students who are exposed to entrepreneurship education would start their own venture immediately or al later date. The question whether entrepreneurship can be taught has been a major debate in entrepreneurship research and even lead to the question whether entrepreneurship can actually be learnt [Edwards&muir2004; Rae, 2000].basic outcome of this study have been the identification of different aspects in entrepreneurship education of which some are teachable with the help of classical education tools and formats, while others do not seem to be teachable in same manner. Against the background of these findings, active learning concepts were increasingly integrated into entrepreneurship education [Sheperd&Douglas, 1996]
