Abstract: PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore whether participating in an entrepreneurship education programme with short-term international placements can help pre-service teachers to identifying the characteristics of entrepreneurial competence from a wide definition of entrepreneurship (Lackéus, 2015) rather than from a business centred definition, to be developed by entrepreneur teachers.Design/methodology/approachA three-year longitudinal qualitative study was carried out.

“…Another striking feature is the fact that none of the universities analyzed incorporate the competencies Motivation and perseverance (E2.2), Financial and economic literacy (E2.4), and Coping with uncertainty, ambiguity, and risk (E3.3), in addition to the competencies of EDU area 4 (Assessment) listed above, i.e., Checking and reporting progress (EDU4.1), Sharing feedback (EDU4.2), and Recognising progress and achievement (EDU4.3). These data do not match the studies that establish motivation, perseverance, or coping with uncertainty as characteristics of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs such as teacherpreneurs [2,11,15,51,52]. We cannot forget either that these are inherent to Jesuit universities.…”

“…The data shows relative consistency between cohorts' perceptions in this regard. Both Irish and Turkish participants identified key attributes, behaviours and skills outlined earlier ( Rae, 2007 ; Burduş, 2010 ; Kirby, 2007 ; Seelig, 2012 ; Caird, 1991 ; Gibb, 2007 ; Hegarty and Jones, 2008 ; Arruti and Paños-Castro, 2020 ) such as: drive, creativity and interpersonal skills, as essential elements of being enterprising, while using slightly different language for each. In one sense, these similarities are not surprising, with Arruit and Panos-Castro (2020) finding pre-service teachers frequently mentioned traits such as creativity and risk taking.…”

In one sense, these similarities are not surprising, with Arruit and Panos-Castro (2020) finding pre-service teachers frequently mentioned traits such as creativity and risk taking. What makes the data valuable is that it suggests pre-service teachers in both contexts can identify key transferable skills associated with being enterprising, articulate their meaning, and understand the benefits of developing these skills for use in a variety of contexts, including their own.…”
