Entrepreneurship education: what we know and what we need to know

Role and impact of the environment on entrepreneurial learning

“…On the other hand, on the basis of the analytical model proposed by Fayolle and Gailly (2008) and used by Byrne, Fayolle, and Toutain (2014), the articles produced in this category are largely focused on the question of the subject under observation 'What' (53%) and the results produced ('which results'), to the detriment of the question of 'how' , which would allow better understanding of how the different levels observed in the environment influence entrepreneurship learning. Finally, we note that study of the general meaning ('why') of the influence of the environment on individual entrepreneurship learning is not dealt with at all.…”

“…Despite this diversity, these ways of learning to become an entrepreneur share certain similarities and are essentially based on: action and using one's experience (Cope 2005;Kuratko 2005;Rae and Carswell 2000;Tracey and Phillips 2007); the transformation of the individual (Mezirow 1997;Pittaway and Cope 2007); failure and emotions (Cardon et al 2012;Shepherd 2003); organisational learning (Corbett, Neck, and DeTienne 2007;Harrison and Leitch 2005;Honig 2001); the dynamic learning processes in entrepreneurship (Cope 2005;Politis 2005;Secundo, Schiuma, and Passiante 2017); and the role of networks (Karataş-Özkan 2011; Lamine et al 2015;Lee and Jones 2008;Lefebvre, Radu Lefebvre, and Simon 2015). Scientific production in the field of entrepreneurship education displays certain weaknesses (Byrne, Fayolle, and Toutain 2014;Fayolle 2013), in particular, the lack of consideration afforded to the role of the social environment in the learning process (Jones and Spicer 2009;Lave and Wenger 1991). Entrepreneurship education has been studied more from a focus on the individual-entrepreneur than from the perspective of the social interactions that shape the entrepreneurial process and context for learning.…”

In quest of legitimacy: The theoretical and methodological foundations of entrepreneurship education research

“…Several systematic reviews of the literature have been published since (Gorman, Hanlon, and King 1997;Pittaway and Cope 2007;Mwasalwiba 2010;Naia et al 2014;Byrne, Fayolle, and Toutain 2014;Fayolle 2013;Li Ge and Xu-mei Peng 2012) (Fayolle 2013, Verzat 2015 who proposes three research orientations to advance this discussion: first; focusing on specific concepts and processes; second; crossing the disciplinary borders of entrepreneurship to tap into the theories and methods of education science and third, developing reflexive knowledge about two key elements of Béchard and Grégoire's model (2009): the pedagogical practice adopted more or less consciously by the teacher and the factors in the institutional context that make this practice possible.…”

Self-regulated learning, team learning and project performance in entrepreneurship education: Learning in a lean startup environment

“…While the literature has identified common bodies of knowledge for TE (Yanez et al, 2010), didactics for technology-based entrepreneurship are still debated. This paper is positioned at this didactics debate in that it deals with performance effects of different learning methods for technology-based entrepreneurship classes (Byrne et al, 2014). It addresses the significant trend in EE from a classroomcentered education to experiential learning (Cooper et al, 2004;Pittaway and Cope, 2007) in which students are exposed to a large extent to a real-life entrepreneurship context.…”
