摘要

背景:创业教育(EE)在新兴市场国家的发展战略中占有特别重要的地位,这些国家需要企业家和小企业来推动经济增长和创造就业。在南非,技术大学(UoT)提供以职业为重点的高等教育,被认为是EE的重要载体。目标:机构和教育工作者面临着关于情感表达内容和教学法的有限研究的挑战,特别是在商学院背景之外。本研究旨在通过考察UoT的EE课程来解决南非经济背景下的这些研究差距。环境:这项研究调查了一所南非理工大学11个学科的14门创业课程。方法:对10位教育工作者进行半结构化访谈,进行定性研究,探讨他们如何设计和提供情感表达课程。结果:研究发现了影响教育者设计和提供EE课程方式的三个背景因素:(1)学生的需求:他们经验的系统性;(2)教材的质量:内容的有限相关性;(3)教育者的背景:他们的创业和行业经验。结论:通过考察这些关键的背景因素,本研究突出了本地高等教育机构在设计有效促进本地创业的课程时所面临的挑战。它还展示了教育工作者在解决问题、应对挑战方面发挥的突出作用,并通过将自己的激情、教育专业知识和实践知识带入课堂,确保情感表达为更广泛的经济议程做出贡献。

Contextual factors influencing entrepreneurship education at a South African University of Technology
Background: Entrepreneurship education (EE) occupies a particularly critical space in the development strategies of emerging market countries where entrepreneurs and small businesses are required to drive economic growth and job creation. In South Africa, universities of technology (UoT), which provide vocation-focussed tertiary education, are considered vital vehicles of EE.Aim: Institutions and educators are challenged by the limited research around EE content and pedagogy, particularly outside of the business school context. This study seeks to address these research gaps within the South African economic context by examining EE courses at a UoT.Setting: This study examined 14 entrepreneurship courses offered across 11 disciplines at one South African UoT.Methods: A qualitative study consisting of semi-structured interviews with 10 educators was conducted to explore how they design and deliver their EE courses.Results: The study found three contextual factors that influence the way educators design and deliver EE courses: (1) the needs of the student: the systemic nature of their experiences, (2) the quality of teaching materials: the limited relevance of the content, and (3) the background of the educators: their experience with entrepreneurship and industry.Conclusion: In examining these key contextual factors, this study highlights the challenges that locally higher education institutions face in designing the courses that are effective at promoting entrepreneurship locally. It also showcases the prominent role that educators play in solving problems, addressing challenges, and ensuring that EE contributes to a broader economic agenda by bringing their own passion, educational expertise, and practical knowledge to the classroom.
