3. What are we trying to do?
• Why? How?
• What do the very best programs know?
• (Sturgeon’s Law?)
• Great at Entrepreneurship
• Great at Teaching (Theory and Practice)
4. Find the Right Frame:
One Size Does Not Fit All
• Research evidence in EE is scary…
• Lack of theory
• Lack of education theory
• Theory gives us frameworks…
–Impact = f(Pedagogy, Learners, Instructors
and Context.. Including Stage)
–Inputs Throughputs Outputs
5. Stages… examples of context
• Lent’s model –
• Ecosystem?
–Human Capital
–Social Capital
–Political Capital
• Engagement/Co-Immersion
6. “Greatest Hits” of Educational Research
• Humans like to learn; humans are good at it!
• Lesson Plans Help [think I->T->O]
• Action Changes Brains… with the right support
• Cooperative Learning
– “Jigsaw”
• Flipped/inverted
• Authentic Questions
• You Get What You Measure
• Mindset not Surface Knowledge
– Critical developmental experiences
– Problem-based learning
– Non-cognitive >> cognitive
7. Evolution of education
Key Focus of Pedagogy Key Assumption Example of Key Tool
Teacher-centered
Teacher transmits to
passive students
Memorization (lectures on
entrepreneurial facts)
Teaching -centered
Recognizes le arning as a
process
‘Skills & Drills ’
(e.g., writing business
plans)
Learner-centered
Learners have ‘ownership’
of learning
Case studies
(e.g., assessing business
plans)
Learning-centered
Learning is situated,
students & teacher alike
Problem-based learning
(e.g., self-managed field
projects)
8. So what IS the
“entrepreneurial mindset”?
• Learning ABOUT entrepreneurship (content)
Versus?
• Learning to BE/THINK entrepreneurial (mindset)
ANY Mindset….
• Deep cognitive structures – deep anchoring assumptions
• Intent, yes, but potential
• Novice -> Expert
12. Keys to constructivistic
learning
• Authentic Questions; Big Questions
• Co-Learning
• Personal reflection
• Peer support (peer mentoring)
• Expert mentoring (need a chess master!)
• Immersion in experience
• Co-immersion in ecosystem
13. Best programs in the world?
What do THEY do?
• Virtually none are university-based but…
– Chalmers, Stanford, Aalto…
– Venture creation programs
• Don’t incubate, accelerate?
– Startup Weekend
– Lean startup
– TechStars, et al. /Global Accelerator Network
– Y-Combinator /500 Startups /etc.
