Exploring the current trends in curriculum design of entrepreneur education programmes through three case studies, in Cape Town, South AfricaSexton, Emma January 2017 (has links)
This comparative case study aims to identify the pedagogic approaches embedded in the design of a selection of entrepreneur education programmes. Three non-profit organisations based in the Western Cape, South Africa, were selected as case studies. While each organisation offers an entrepreneur education programme for previously disadvantaged individuals who are in the early stages of running a business, each programme is unique in terms of its target market industry sector, learning objectives and business outcomes, as well as in its curriculum design intended to enable particular objectives and outcomes to be optimally achieved by the learners (entrepreneurs). Activity Theory and Bernstein's Models of Pedagogy provide analytical frameworks for the study. Data was gathered from three semi-structured interviews carried out with the principal curriculum designer within each organisation, as well as written documents and websites. Engeström's extension of Activity Theory provided the conceptual tools for the first level of analysis of the case data, which identified tensions within and between the activity system elements of each curriculum. Further analysis was conducted utilising Bernstein's models of pedagogy, in order to better understand the key assumptions about learning and knowledge underpinning each of the curricula. Within each Activity System, significant tensions were identified between the Subjects, the Rules and Object; the Subjects, the Tools and the Object; and the Subjects, the Division of Labour, and the Object. Two approaches to pedagogy were evident within the three curricula, which aligned to Bernstein's competence and performance models of pedagogy. By drawing on the tensions identified through mapping the curriculum using Activity Theory, the thesis proposes that the two pedagogic models should be seen as a continuum and can be used to identify key questions to consider in the design of entrepreneur education curriculum, in order to ensure a well-informed curriculum aligned to adult learning theory and to the programme's learning objectives and business outcomes, and which addresses the unique context in terms of target market. Further research is necessary to understand whether the programmes which combine elements from various models of pedagogy do indeed enjoy better outcomes.

Previous issue date: 2003 / O tema "empreendedorismo e empreendedor" vem ocupando lugar de destaque nos estudos e
pesquisas de vários campos da ciência, notadamente na administração. Nas duas últimas
décadas, universidades, organizações e governos, têm se debruçado sobre esse objeto de
pesquisa na procura por um melhor entendimento, abordando-o como uma das variáveis
importantes na busca pelo desenvolvimento. O Brasil elegeu a difusão do empreendedorismo
como uma das formas de dinamizar alguns segmentos de mercado do País. Este trabalho
busca acrescentar uma contribuição ao entendimento do empreendedorismo, no que se refere
à habilitação e emergência de novos empreendedores. Esta capacitação, contudo, é um
assunto controverso, não existindo ainda uma aceitação consensual quanto a ser factível. Na
primeira parte deste trabalho, o tema "empreendedorismo e empreendedor" é apresentado, e a
seguir é discutida a possibilidade de capacitação empreendedora. Na segunda parte, é feito um
estudo de caso do Programa IES/SOFTEX, onde é abordada a exeqüibilidade do modelo de
capacitação adotado por esse programa. O IES/SOFTEX foi implementado com a missão de
capacitar os alunos de graduação, dos cursos superiores de informática e ciência da
computação, a serem empreendedores. Um modelo de capacitação foi criado, associando uma
disciplina de capacitação empreendedora a uma incubadora, para acolher e materializar os
planos de negócio oriundos desta disciplina. O referido programa é uma complementaridade
ao Programa SOFTEX, criado pelo governo brasileiro com o objetivo de acelerar o
crescimento da indústria de software. Na parte final do trabalho estão reunidas as conclusões
decorrentes deste estudo, onde constata-se a difusão gradual do conceito empreendedor. Nesta
estão assinalados a validade do modelo adotado, alguns fatores críticos e limitantes e sua
aplicabilidade a outros segmentos de indústria. Estes elementos estão ali registrados e
comentados, sendo também sugeridas possíveis melhorias. / Salvador
