Description
Reframing Entrepreneurship Education provides detailed insights into how educators can encourage students from different disciplines to develop entrepreneurial competence. It introduces the five pillars of the I-CARE educational framework: Interact, Challenge, Act, Reflect, and Embrace (uncertainty).
The book details how higher education teachers can integrate entrepreneurial elements into their teaching through the I-CARE framework. It covers key ways of developing entrepreneurial competence both within and beyond venture creation, including peer interaction and mentoring, collaboration with external stakeholders, and conceptual scaffolding. Contributing authors advocate for educators in every field to see entrepreneurship not as an isolated subject, but as a transformative competence that can empower students to become change agents for the better.
This timely book is a valuable resource for higher education educators across all disciplines looking to enhance their teaching. It is also beneficial to university administrators, higher education policymakers, university administrators, and deans who are working to embed entrepreneurship education across disciplines.

Reviews / Votes
'This collection of chapters introduces the I-CARE entrepreneurship education framework, designed to develop entrepreneurial competence across disciplines. Through its five dimensions: Interact, Challenge, Act, Reflect, and Embrace, the framework effectively supports educators in preparing students to become proactive and socially responsible change agents.' -- Agnieszka Kurczewska, University of Lodz, Poland 'Entrepreneurship education empowers students with skills to drive change in society, organizations, and communities-not just start businesses. This book provides an interesting research-based framework to help educators across various disciplines develop these competencies and prepare students to serve as change agents who can effectively respond to real-world challenges anywhere.' -- Ulla Hytti, University of Turku, FinlandMore details
