A Focus
Entrepreneurship education is a field in which innovative approaches to teaching and learning - like student challenges, innovation spaces, incubators and extra-curricular activities - go hand-in-hand with discussions on graduate profiles and professional identities. The new generation of Agri-food and Life Sciences graduates is expected to show creativity, resilience, pro-activeness and risk taking in a world characterised by uncertainty.
Wide entrepreneurship education, in general, and learning trajectories for students in particular, requires capturing the development of entrepreneurial competences at regular time intervals. But how to assess learning outcomes, if it is all about development and learning process?
One of the key insights from the previous ICA-Edu-Colloquia focusing on entrepreneurship education was to further consider assessment by including reflection and formative assessment strategies. In addition the need was recognised to enhance teachers’ assessment competences of the entrepreneurial outcomes.
B Programme Overview
The ICA Special Interest Group (SIG) for Sustainable Entrepreneurship Education invites you to take part in a one-day program that enables you to learn more about assessment of (sustainable) entrepreneurship education during the keynote, workshop and round table discussions in the morning. In the inspiring session in the afternoon you will have the opportunity to share your best practices and to learn from others including the deliverables from the recently completed INTRINSIC project.
C Expected Outcomes
This colloquium is aiming to establish:
- A shared understanding of what assessment in the field of sustainable entrepreneurship education entails
- A space to share best practices, learn from each other and gain insights on different learning activities to use in your own practice
- Shaping the ICA-Edu Special Interest Group on sustainable entrepreneurship education for the years to come
D Target audience
Teachers, researchers, program managers and other enthusiastic people working in the Life Sciences and who are involved in, or curious about, sustainable entrepreneurship education.
