<meta content="Entrepreneurship Education, and Student Centred Learning" name="eprints.keywords" />
<meta content="Entrepreneurial education is the process of providing individuals with the ability to recognise commercial opportunities and the insight, self-esteem, knowledge and skills to act on them. It includes instruction in opportunity recognition, commercialising a concept, marshalling resources in the face of risk, and initiating a business venture. It also includes instruction in traditional business disciplines such as management, marketing, information systems and finance. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and introduction of a new program in Entrepreneurship at the University of Tasmania. Rather than adopt a traditional business school (passive learning) approach, within this program the method and responsibility of learning has largely been reversed through the process of student centred learning. This method of learning represents a challenging departure from the traditional mainstream teaching practices. In considering the benefits achievable from this teaching method, this paper also considers the difficulties in transferring increased responsibility to students to manage their futures.

It includes instruction in opportunity recognition, commercialising a concept, marshalling resources in the face of risk, and initiating a business venture. It also includes instruction in traditional business disciplines such as management, marketing, information systems and finance. The purpose of this paper is to describe the design and introduction of a new program in Entrepreneurship at the University of Tasmania. Rather than adopt a traditional business school (passive learning) approach, within this program the method and responsibility of learning has largely been reversed through the process of student centred learning. This method of learning represents a challenging departure from the traditional mainstream teaching practices. In considering the benefits achievable from this teaching method, this paper also considers the difficulties in transferring increased responsibility to students to manage their futures. </p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Keywords:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Entrepreneurship Education, and Student Centred Learning</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Subjects:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330206.html">330000 Education > 330200 Curriculum Studies > 330206 Curriculum Theory and Development</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330200.html">330000 Education > 330200 Curriculum Studies</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/339999.html">330000 Education > 339900 Other Education > 339999 Other Education</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/339900.html">330000 Education > 339900 Other Education</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330100.html">330000 Education > 330100 Education Studies</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330299.html">330000 Education > 330200 Curriculum Studies > 330299 Curriculum Studies not elsewhere classified</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330104.html">330000 Education > 330100 Education Studies > 330104 Educational Policy, Administration and Management</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330204.html">330000 Education > 330200 Curriculum Studies > 330204 Curriculum Studies - Economics, Commerce, Management and Services Education</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330101.html">330000 Education > 330100 Education Studies > 330101 Educational Psychology</a><br /><a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/view/subjects/330199.html">330000 Education > 330100 Education Studies > 330199 Education Studies not elsewhere classified</a></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ID Code:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">2798</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited By:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><span class="ep_name_citation"><span class="person_name">Mr Colin D Jones</span></span></td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Deposited On:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">04 Jan 2008 12:08</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Last Modified:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">09 Jan 2008 02:30</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">ePrint Statistics:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row"><a target="ePrintStats" href="/es/index.php?action=show_detail_eprint;id=2798;">View statistics for this ePrint</a></td></tr></table><p align="right">Repository Staff Only: <a href="http://eprints.utas.edu.au/cgi/users/home?screen=EPrint::View&eprintid=2798">item control page</a></p>
