Educational Ecosystem as a Modern Model of Improving Relationships in the "Education" - "Labor Market" System

Abstract

The educational ecosystem, by its very nature, gained popularity in the educational process relatively recently. Using the parameters of a biological ecosystem, a learning ecosystem is usually described as a complex community and environment where the learner interacts in a mixed environment where time, place and space are constantly changing. Entrepreneurial ecosystems have recently attracted attention mainly in the sphere of policy and decision-making, where communities and regions seek to develop and expand entrepreneurial structures in particular areas and industries. The idea of ecosystems in entrepreneurship is becoming an increasingly popular topic around the world, as economic development is seen as a solution to both social and economic problems. The article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of educational ecosystems on the example of the educational ecosystem for entrepreneurship education and the study of their role in the system of relationships "education - business - labor market". The educational ecosystem of entrepreneurship includes several levels - individuals (students, teachers, staff, practices and administration), groups of people (faculty, students), organizations (incubators, centers), events and stakeholders (stakeholders) of the community (government, politicians, industry, sponsors). Central to the educational ecosystem is internal entrepreneurial activity that functions around educational (educational), additional (extracurricular) and research (scientific) activities. The main types of educational institutions, depending on their role in the educational ecosystem, are: broker - an educational institution that assumes the role of an intermediary, will have a wide scope of activities, many courses, joint activities and research projects of teachers, but support will be provided from the bottom up, and participation may not be a priority for the institution; facilitator – the educational institution performing this role will have several separate disciplines, a limited number of teachers and support staff; hub – an educational institution that assumes the role of a center, will have both a wide range of core activities and a deep commitment to certain aspects of entrepreneurship; developer – an institution that takes on the role of developer will have significant commitments in terms of resources, infrastructure and culture, but the range of curricula, extracurriculars and research will be narrow.
