“…The research also showed that project-based learning in the school is insufficiently represented, which is reflected in the inadequate development of entrepreneurial competencies in students. The representation of both is significantly determined by the pedagogical competencies of teachers because research-oriented teaching requires more thinking and proactivity from students, which is confirmed by the research results from other authors (Akrami, 2022). However, the data obtained in the initial part of this research are worrying, indicating that students do not have many opportunities to research during classes, i.e., that there are no experiments, which could affect their motivation to learn chemistry, its use in life situations and the development of vital entrepreneurial skills.…”

Development of entrepreneurial capacities, entrepreneurial mindset and entrepreneurial culture among students is one of the goals of modern education. In Serbia, there is an idea and vision of entrepreneurial education in the chemistry domain, which is also regulated by the curriculum. Despite these facts, a curriculum that supports entrepreneurship and a large scope for chemistry entrepreneurship, primary schools still lack in activities that could develop competencies related to entrepreneurship in students. Within this research, a series of activities were designed with the aim to enhance students' entrepreneurial competencies. Proposed activities were based on inquiry-based learning (IBL) and project-based learning (PBL) as their characteristics support entrepreneurial education. The conducted study involved 18 high-achieving students in the chemistry domain. Data obtained from pre- and post-questionnaires confirm the assumptions of present researchers that the proposed activities could improve some students' entrepreneurial skills. The results from the second questionnaire, which examined the impact of conducted activities on the students’ entrepreneurial skills and abilities, reveal that when an approach like this is used as the teaching method, some entrepreneurial peculiarities within students can be increased.

“…Besides, self-efficacy is the initial source of motivation in every action taken, especially in entrepreneurship education. This self-confidence refers to people's ability to organize and carry out actions to achieve predetermined goals [14], [18], [19] Reflecting on learning outcomes in ESE is essential in utilising and applying entrepreneurial knowledge directly in the field [10], [11], [20]. We found that students have excellent entrepreneurial self-efficacy and have produced entrepreneurial products.…”

“…Reflection involves questioning assumptions, reappraising experiences, and considering alternative ways of acting, understanding, and thinking [6]- [9]. Based on studies of how entrepreneurship education works and literature on pedagogy, recent research suggests that reflection is an important, or even essential, aspect of entrepreneurial learning among students [1], [8], [10]- [13].…”

Biology Entrepreneurship Education has become a mandatory course that imparts a distinct characteristic to its graduates. There is an expectation that students will possess an entrepreneurial spirit and immediately establish businesses upon graduation. However, entrepreneurship education often leaves a gap between expectations and real-world outcomes. This research aims to elucidate reflections on the success of education on Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy. We conducted a case study involving students who have completed the biology entrepreneurship course. Twenty students were selected based on specific criteria for in-depth interviews. The findings indicate that all students reported an enhancement in Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy, including proficiency in business searching, business planning, business marshalling, and implementation. Additionally, it was observed that a substantial number of college graduates do not pursue entrepreneurship after graduation. Field findings reveal that graduates from entrepreneurial backgrounds are more likely to continue entrepreneurial ventures after graduation. Further research can be conducted to evaluate entrepreneurship education programs focusing on specific post-graduation achievements and the factors influencing graduates in pursuing entrepreneurial endeavours.

“…In broader sense, this is of great interest to a country's economic development, since by influencing the creation of adequate learning environments that encourage entrepreneurship, we create an army of students ready to start new ventures and transform ideas into businesses. In line with this statement, Akrami (2022) claims that educational institutions can provide a suitable field for developing talents and abilities of learners by choosing the most appropriate approach to teaching.…”

This paper explores how entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial environment affect entrepreneurial readiness (ER) of students from Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), and business, i.e., economics and management (E&M) studies. Moreover, it examines how the combination of the aforementioned factors affect the difference in ER between STEM and E&M students. The evaluation is performed on the sample of 595 university students. The results show that two sources of entrepreneurial learning, entrepreneurial experience in the family environment and entrepreneurial education at university, combined with the field of studies represent significant factors that predetermine students’ ER. To be able to reach the highest level of ER, the combination of having entrepreneurial environment and entrepreneurial education is crucial for both E&M and STEM students. However, since E&M students show higher level of ER, the paper emphasises the importance of fostering systemic entrepreneurial education among STEM students.
