Upskilling teachers and trainers in entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial pedagogy:

transforming policies and theories into innovative practice

Abstract

Entrepreneurship education faces several challenges related to pedagogicaldidactic principles and methodologies adopted in delivering entrepreneurial
learning. More than half of EU member states have limited or no guidelines for
entrepreneurship teaching, while the training of teachers and trainers emerges
as an imperative need. Hence, the present manuscript attempts to discuss the
pedagogical theories and principles based on which the InnoGFEED project was
developed. The authors discuss the rationale, objectives and expected impact in
relation to policy conclusions and recommendations, contributing to the broader
dialogue on pedagogical and methodological considerations that need to be taken
into account regarding entrepreneurship education.
