Challenge in teaching the subject of entrepreneurship and management for high school teachers

Desafío en la enseñanza de la asignatura de emprendimiento y gestión para docentes de bachillerato

Abstract

Businesses and entrepreneurship drive economic and social development, but entrepreneurship teaching in secondary education has deficiencies due to limited use of methodologies, scarce teacher guidance in project management, and low student motivation. The objective was to design methodological strategies to address challenges in teaching entrepreneurship and management for high school teachers. Theoretical methods of induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis and structural systemic were applied, as well as the empirical survey method, with a descriptive, non-experimental design and quantitative approach. A questionnaire with a Likert scale was used. Results showed limited teacher knowledge about entrepreneurship teaching and the need to design business projects. It was concluded that teaching should be strengthened by implementing a proposal that enhances entrepreneurship and management training to develop entrepreneurial capabilities, skills and attitudes in students. A manual of strategies for fostering entrepreneurial spirit in high school students using project-based learning is proposed, aiming to guide teachers in entrepreneurship education. The manual includes key concepts, steps following the Canvas model, resources and legal aspects, and practical advice for creating value, generating impact and transforming reality through entrepreneurship.
