Abstract(s)
O empreendedorismo tem sido associado ao desenvolvimento económico, apresentando-se como promotor da competitividade, inovação e criação de emprego (DGAE, 2021). Segundo a OCDE (2015) é necessário que o ensino caminhe para um ensino empreendedor, orientando os estudantes a desenvolverem competências associadas à proatividade e dinamismo. O objetivo da presente investigação consistiu em caraterizar o potencial empreendedor dos alunos da área das Ciências Empresariais, numa instituição de ensino superior público. O campo empírico foi o Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração de Lisboa, com uma amostra de 204 estudantes. Adotou-se a metodologia do estudo de caso, de natureza mista. O instrumento
utilizado no estudo quantitativo foi o IAPE (Inventário de Avaliação do Potencial Empreendedor de Santos, Caetano & Curral, 2010). Em paralelo, recorreu-se aos contributos de Schmid, Bohnenberger e Freitas (2010), sobre a influência das práticas didático-pedagógicas na formação do perfil empreendedor. Os resultados demonstraram não existir diferenças significativas do potencial empreendedor entre estudantes, relativamente às variáveis género e grau de ensino frequentado. Na análise comparativa entre a intenção de criar uma empresa e o real potencial empreendedor, os resultados revelaram que existe uma correlação positiva entre
o desejo de criar um negócio e as dimensões do potencial empreendedor. Por fim, as diferenças entre a perceção dos docentes e discentes relativamente à participação e aproveitamento destes últimos, em iniciativas vocacionadas para o empreendedorismo, coincidem entre si; evidenciando-se que, apesar da fraca adesão por parte dos alunos nas iniciativas, as mesmas são-lhes úteis quanto aos ensinamentos que retiram delas. Finalmente, discutem-se as implicações desta investigação e são sugeridas pistas para futuros estudos.
Entrepreneurship has been associated with economic development, presenting itself as a promoter of competitiveness, innovation and job creation (DGAE, 2021). According to the OECD (2015), teaching needs to move towards entrepreneurial teaching, guiding students to develop skills associated with proactivity and dynamism. The aim of this investigation was to characterize the entrepreneurial potential of students in the area of Business Sciences, in a public higher education institution. The empirical field was Lisbon Accounting and Business School, with a sample of 204 students. The case study methodology was adopted, of a mixed nature. The instrument used in the quantitative study was IAPE (Entrepreneurial Potential Assessment Inventory developed by Santos, Caetano & Curral, 2010). In parallel, the contributions of Schmid, Bohnenberger and Freitas (2010) were used, on the influence of didactic-pedagogical practices in the formation of the entrepreneurial profile. The results showed that there are no significant differences in entrepreneurial potential among students, regarding the variables gender and degree of education attended. In the comparative analysis between the intention to create a business and the real entrepreneurial potential, the results revealed that there is a positive correlation between the desire to create a business and the dimensions of entrepreneurial potential. Finally, the differences between the perception of teachers and students regarding the participation and use of the latter in initiatives aimed at entrepreneurship coincide with each other, showing that, despite the weak adherence on the part of students to the initiatives, they are- useful to them as well as lessons they draw from them. Finally, the implications of this investigation are discussed and ideas for future studies are suggested.
