“…In this technologically advanced period, an in-creasing number of enterprises specializing in technology are making valuable contributions to the economy, which in turn offers prospects for employment [26,27] . Therefore, it is thought that technological entrepreneurship is essential for social development [28][29][30] and it is also taken as a dynamic track for economic growth, competitiveness, as well as the settlement of social interest problems [26,27] . A new company that operates in an environment that places a high demand on technological resources is referred to as a "technopreneur", which can be characterized as a technology-based organization or a high-tech venture.…”

This study on technopreneurship aims to reconfigure entrepreneurial outcomes, but how knowledge sharing moderates the interaction is an academic and practical concern. This study focuses on how knowledge sharing and technopreneurship affect the entrepreneurial outcome in Bangladeshi small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This research has established the following aims to establish a meaningful association between technopreneurship, knowledge sharing, and the outcomes of entrepreneurial endeavours. In pursuit of knowledge, data were collected through primary sources after establishing the questionnaire's validity and reliability. Findings revealed that technopreneurship and knowledge sharing individually affected entrepreneurial outcomes. However, knowledge sharing could not significantly moderate the interaction between technopreneurship and entrepreneurial outcomes. Hence, the recommendation was anchored on improving knowledge sharing, technopreneurship, and managerial dexterity of owners and managers.

“…Entrepreneurship has been acknowledged as the key to economic growth (Rauch & Hulsink, 2015;Manimala & Thomas, 2017;Deveci & Seikkula-Leino, 2023). In this context, the presence of entrepreneurs and new ventures encourages the economic growth (Rauch & Hulsink, 2015).…”

“…Gorman et al (1997, p. 70) stated that "entrepreneurship can be taught, or at least encouraged, by entrepreneurship education". It has been pointed out for a long time until now that entrepreneurship education provides competencies for individuals to start and run a new venture (e.g., McMullan & Long, 1987;Fiet, 2001;Manimala & Thomas, 2017;Deveci & Seikkula-Leino, 2023). Therefore, entrepreneurship education not only prepares the new ventures but also the entrepreneurs for starting and running new ventures (McMullan & Long, 1987;Fiet, 2001;Manimala & Thomas, 2017).…”

Entrepreneurship education, in turn, is also aimed at developing the entrepreneurial mindset (i.e., the mindset of entrepreneur) for individuals (Deveci & Seikkula-Leino, 2023).…”

This study aimed at verifying the effect of experiential learning program on entrepreneurial mindset. This study was based on a quasi-experimental design. The subjects were 113 undergraduate students, in which without randomization, fifty-eight and fifty-five students were grouped to a treatment group and a control group, respectively. The subjects in the treatment group received the experiential learning intervention during six weeks. Meanwhile, the subjects in the control group received the problem-based instructional method. All subjects completed the entrepreneurial mindset scale at two measurement times (i.e., pre-test and post-test). Based on Shapiro-Wilk test, data were found not to be normally distributed. Hence, data were then analyzed using the non-parametric tests. Based on data analysis, the undergraduate students who involved in the experiential learning program had a higher entrepreneurial mindset than those who did not involve in the program. In addition, the undergraduate students who involved in the experiential learning program had an increased entrepreneurial mindset. This study provided a theoretical implication, in which it extended the literature of the Implicit Theory of Intelligence (ITI) and the Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) by providing the synthesis of both theories in the higher education context. This study also had a practical implication for the lecturers who have an interest in entrepreneurship education. According to our findings, the entrepreneurial mindset could be enhanced by the experiential learning program (i.e., the experiential learning intervention).

“…For instance, entrepreneurial skill is a key element in the acquisition of skills such as teamwork (Amorim Neto et al, 2020), communication (Škare kare et al, 2022), analytical thinking (DeCoito & Briona, 2023), creative thinking (Durnali et al, 2023;Fillis & Rentschler, 2010) and decision making (Sanda & Sallama, 2023). Entrepreneurship is a skill that not only facilitates the teaching of life skills but also science process skills and engineering-design skills (Apaivatin et al, 2021;Bhakti et al, 2020;Deveci & Seikkula-Leino, 2023;Ribeiro et al, 2023;Saboorizadeh et al, 2023). It is very crucial for science education that such skills are integrated under the umbrella of entrepreneurship skills (Kirman-Bilgin, 2021).…”

The present study aims to examine the effect of the life skills training guide on the development of pre-service science teachers’ professional knowledge of entrepreneurial skills. The study included 82 pre-service science teachers studying in the third year of a public university in Turkey during the 2019-2020 academic year. The data of the study, which was conducted with a one-group pre-test-post-test experimental design, were collected using the entrepreneurship skills professional knowledge test. The data were analyzed using the professional knowledge assessment rubric and entrepreneurship skill indicators. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference between the pre-and post-test scores of the pre-service teachers in favor of the post-test scores. Following the experimental process, their professional knowledge about entrepreneurship increased. However, the number of pre-service teachers who were able to improve their professional knowledge scores to a high level was limited. Furthermore, following the experimental process, there was an increase in the number of pre-service teachers who were able to develop appropriate activities for students to gain entrepreneurial skills and to prepare tools for measuring and evaluating students’ entrepreneurial skills in a way to include stressed indicators. Consequently, the present study provides science teacher educators with educational activities that they can model within the scope of teaching professional knowledge of entrepreneurship skills to pre-service science teachers.
