Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) de l'unité d'enseignement
One of the very first questions that pops up when talking about an entrepreneurship course is: "can entrepreneurship be taught?" or, more precisely, "can one teach others to become entrepreneur?" This question is obviously a real challenge for a professor of entrepreneurship when he has to decide "what?" and, more importantly, "how?" to teach. There are two ways to address this challenge:
- The first one is the easy way! Teaching "about" entrepreneurship means ambitioning that students understand what entrepreneurship is all about. It is "just" a matter of diffusing knowledge. The "what?" consists in introducing students to the key data, trends, tools and concepts related to entrepreneurship. The "how?" looks pretty much like any other course: lectures. This teaching could largely be compared that of a professor of art history introducing the masterpieces of Rembrandt's or Michelangelo's masterpieces. Attending such a class will give you a better understanding of classical art, but will not make an artist out of you!
- The second one is the hard way! Teaching "for" entrepreneurship means ambitioning that students understand what it means to be entrepreneur and develop some of their entrepreneurial skills. It is "just" a matter of helping students to engage in a real entrepreneurial journey. The "what?" in this case is not necessarily very distant from the traditional way but the "how?" is so far away from it that it is not comparable. This teaching could largely be compared that of a professor of painting organizing workshops about the techniques of the great classical painters. Attending such a class will help you to improve your skills. It will not make you a great master but it will engage you in an artistic journey and help you understand if you wish to pursue this way for a significant part of your professional life.
My passion for Entrepreneurship drives me toward the "hard way" and this is for two reasons. One is that being in the driving seat of his life to head toward his passion is just fantastic! The second reason is that this engagement could lead to the conclusion, by the student, that he/she is not willing to pursue such journey and just prefer to go (back) for a corporate job. This means that he/she would have learned something important about him/her. So, let's go for the hard way. .
