Dear Colleagues (apologies for cross-postings):
We invite you to attend our PDW focusing on evaluating the outcomes of entrepreneurship education.
Entrepreneurship is composed of a variety of components, including cognitive, attitudinal, and behavioral ones. As a result, entrepreneurship education (EE) has developed in an ad hoc manner to meet a variety of purposes, often in tandem with one another (but sometimes not).
These purposes include changes in attitudes, intentions, content knowledge, skills and abilities, and the reinforcement of entrepreneurial behaviors, among others.
Field-level attention regarding the appropriate measurable outcomes of entrepreneurship education (EE) has been scant. This obviously makes it difficult to reliably predict the outcomes of EE interventions. Our workshop will bring together junior and senior EE scholars to discuss a number of viable, empirical methods for predicting and explaining the purported outcomes of EE. In particular, we wish to discuss the development of a reliable and valid scale for such a purpose.
It is our hope that participants will leave with examples of measures that they can use to help improve the explanatory power of their own future research - and thus the development of the EE literature more generally.
