“…Blenker, Dreisler, Faergemann, and Kjeldsen (2008) claimed that the educational system at the university level was not capable of developing students' motivation, competence, and skills for innovations and entrepreneurship, and the entrepreneurship education required learning methods, pedagogical processes, and frames for education. Kyro (2008) studied a general framework that combined learning and teaching aspects for fostering individual meta-competence in planning, performing, and evaluating teaching interventions. It applied that the taxonomy of individual differences contributes to the risk of learning process and suggested that, besides cognition, affection and conation in both enterprising and entrepreneurial learning also be included.…”

The importance of entrepreneurship education that positively impact on the creation of new ventures has been widely recognized. Although numerous studies of entrepreneurship education have been conducted within a university setting, the results are mostly fragmented. Therefore, by using a systematic framework, this research is focused on examining relevant learning and institutional supports within a university context for those who want to become successful entrepreneurs. This descriptive study is based on in-depth interviews with respondents at a private university. The gathered data are coded, and they result in a mapping of entrepreneurship education. There are some important findings from this research. One is that the university already has facilities to support learning within the institution, although it lacks in the management to optimize their utilization. The other is that the assurance of the students' learning effectiveness is not well managed.

“…Scholars diverge about the objective of EE -when we teach individuals who will be able to practice entrepreneurship, then we can talk about learner centered, interdisciplinary, process-based, co-creation oriented, experiential and socially situated pedagogy (Kyrö, 2008;Mwasalwiba, 2010;Ollila & Williams-Middleton, 2011;Gibb, 2011) and business plan competitions (Russell et al, 2008) and involvement of mentors (Barbosa et al, 2008). http://dx.doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2016.11.85 eISSN: 2357-1330 …”

There are different opinions on how entrepreneurship education (EE) should be organized in a curriculum and how to create interdisciplinarity within different curricula. It depends on several aspects, included what is the aim of entrepreneurship education -is it about entrepreneurship or education for or through entrepreneurship? How should the curriculum be designed to be more effective for teaching entrepreneurship, including different dimensions: environmental factors, personal relations, their network, development of one's entrepreneurial behavior, personality and learning process itself? The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of contemporary trends how entrepreneurship education is integrated in different university curricula and how different stakeholders are involved into the process. For that purpose first, the authors provided a comprehensive literature review of research in entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions (HEIs). Secondly, they analyzed University of Tartu faculties' curricula to analyze full time programs teaching entrepreneurship. Thirdly, the authors adopted a qualitative research approach, where they conducted semi-structured interviews with programme leaders from all faculties from the University of Tartu in 2016. The main result is that, EE should be more interdisciplinary and integrated in different specialty subjects and the teaching/practice-oriented subjects should be embedded in the curricula; EE should be supported by the ecosystem, teaching methods must change etc. The concept "entrepreneurship education" has been understood in a narrow sense, aiming to give people the knowledge and skills needed to become self-employed and develop a new business in the long term.

“…The focus of the monograph is to reflect on what is expected to be achieved through entrepreneurship education, how entrepreneurship can be best taught and how to develop responsible and entrepreneurially aware entrepreneurs. There is not much separation between learning and teaching, but as Kyrö (2008) suggests they are combined in one process. An inclusive view on learning process might be more promising if the focus is put on entrepreneurial learning facilitators which entrepreneurial experiences and responsibility are.…”

“…However, the effectiveness of academic education does not only depend on the curriculum. Kyrö (2008) notes that the focus of entrepreneurship education is moving out from contents towards learning and teaching. Entrepreneurship education therefore requires the inclusion of learners into the learning process, and from educators to create the framework for such a process and facilitate it.…”
