10. Mitigating Unemployment
1. Nelson, 1986; Republic of Kenya, 1992. 2. Nelson and Johnson 1997 10
Unemployment, particularly
among the youth, is a critical
problem in developing countries.
Self-employment in small
enterprises has been identified as
a partial solution1
Entrepreneurship education can
play a major role in changing
attitudes of young people and
providing them with skills that will
enable them to start and manage
small enterprises at some point in
their lives2

Rural-Urban Balance
Increase adequate
number of entrepreneurs
in a region, a more even
distribution of income
between rural and urban
areas can be achieved by
improving the productive
capacity of people living
in rural areas3.

for economic development
that needs to be used wisely
therefore increased efforts
are required to prepare
more competent
entrepreneurs.

Many different teaching and working
methods have been connected to
entrepreneurship education.
Teaching Entrepreneurship
(Fayolle, 2008; Fiet, 2000a, b; Jones and Iredale, 2010; Neck and Greene, 2011; Seikkula-Leino, 2008; Solomon, 2007).
16. 16
Constraints
It seems that teachers are
provided with……
Relatively few tools to conduct
their entrepreneurship education.
Relatively less relevant
education for their undergrad and
continuing education, therefore
challenging (Seikkula-Leino et al.,
2010).

Best Practices
Entrepreneurship teaching is built on
active role of learners in learning process
and non-traditional methods.
Creation of information collaboratively,
and failure is accepted as a part of the
learning process.
Methods for such purposes include,
for example,
Team learning,
Project work
Learning by doing
Learning journals
Drama pedagogy
Practice enterprises
Workplace guidance and enterprise visits.

Best Practices
Jones and Iredale (2010), two
changes in *
EE to meet objectives;
1) Curricula must be changed and
2) Teaching and learning
methods must be developed.
Shulman and Shulman (2004)
proposed that an
accomplished teacher should
be;
1) A member of a professional
community
2) Ready , willing, and able to
teach and learn from his or
her teaching experiences
20. Shulman, L.S. & Shulman, J.H. (2004) How and what teachers learn: a shifting perspective.
Journal of Curriculum Studies, (36) 2, 257-271.
20
A vision generates readiness and willingness which persuade
motivation.
An accomplished teacher should be:
Ready to pursue a vision of classroom or school that forms a
“learning community” where teachers understand and have
motivation to further develop the forms of pedagogical and
organizational practices needed in transforming their visions,
motives and understandings into a functioning, pragmatic reality.
