The second study, focused on the process of entrepreneurship education, based on a new paradigm, which is directal to the small business, that simulates innovation and self-learning. Procedures to develop creativity, capacity of negotiation and achievement of participants. This study examined the effect of an entrepreneurship programme on variables off self-concept, social ability, and locus of control. Measures were completed before and after the entrepreneurship program was implemented. Results showed that the entrepreneurship program may have a significant improvement on the security dimension of the self-concept and assertiveness of participants. Furthermore, undergraduates increased their identification of the entrepreneurial profile (concerning themselves and family members) and they also a know ledged having learnt more about entrepreneurship.

Quest?es como a rela??o deste movimento com o desenvolvimento de na??es, a defini??o de um perfil de empreendedor de sucesso, assim como a efetividade de processos de educa??o empreendedora na sustentabilidade deste movimento ainda s?o questionados e buscam respostas e comprova??es para as v?rias quest?es que vem sendo levantadas. Considerando os aspectos comportamentais e psicol?gicos dos empreendedores, como os dados s?cio demogr?ficos, autoconceito, habilidade social, locus de controle, uma medida de atribui??o de responsabilidade dos fatos ocorridos, e estresse, esta disserta??o envolve dois estudos com universit?rios do ?ltimo ano para a conclus?o do curso de gradua??o em Administra??o submetidos a um programa de forma??o empreendedora, de uma institui??o privada de Ensino Superior do Sul Fluminense. O primeiro estudo, realizado no primeiro semestre da fase final da gradua??o, investigou a rela??o de modelos familiares empreendedores com autoconceito, locus de controle e estresse. Os resultados indicaram que os participantes com familiares empreendedores apresentam significativamente mais locus de controle externo/outros poderosos, do que os participantes sem tal modelo. N?o houve qualquer outra diferen?a significativa entre os grupos. O segundo estudo, realizado no semestre final da gradua??o, focou o processo de educa??o empreendedora em si, fundamentada em um novo paradigma de forma??o, voltado para a perspectiva da pequena empresa, estimulando a inova??o e o auto aprendizado, utilizando procedimentos que desenvolvam a criatividade, a capacidade de negocia??o e a realiza??o dos participantes. Examinou-se o impacto do programa no autoconceito, habilidade social e locus de controle dos participantes. Foram aplicadas as medidas de habilidade social, locus de controle e autoconceito antes e depois do programa de empreendedorismo. Os resultados mostraram que o processo de forma??o adotado, pode ter gerado uma melhora significativa na dimens?o de seguran?a do autoconceito e na assertividade dos participantes. Houve tamb?m um maior reconhecimento, pelos estudantes, do perfil empreendedor (de si pr?prio e de familiares) e do aumento de conhecimentos espec?ficos na ?rea do empreendedorismo. S?o apontadas poss?veis explica??es para os resultados encontrados e sugest?es para estudos futuros em outras institui??es de ensino superior
