Fostering an Entrepreneurial Mindset Through Education: Challenges and Opportunities

    This study addresses the question of how education can foster an entrepreneurial mindset, one of the determinants of success in the current, novelty driven economy. These studies identify factors such as the quality of entrepreneurial education, the provision of institutional support, attitudes to entrepreneurship, and a mediating effect of technology integration to inform barriers and opportunities to embedding entrepreneurial concepts across education models. Quantitative analysis and structural equation modeling are used in the paper, stressing the importances of experiential learning, institutional change and cultural inclusivity in entrepreneurial capability development. Results provide instructively useful [i.e., practically useful] learnings for educators and policymakers to design novel strategies for the learning experience that foster creativity, resilience and adaptability. The current study also has an added contribution to the literature on entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial education's potential to drive societal innovation and economic growth.
