The entrepreneurial university and active pedagogies for teaching entrepreneurship

Abstract

introducing entrepreneurship education into the university has long been debated and questioned by several authors. The university, being a space of teaching and training par excellence, has included these last years, not only the teaching of entrepreneurship but also the sensitization and the accompaniment of the carriers of ideas of project until the creation of companies.

The main objective of our research work is to highlight the new role of the university, which goes beyond its traditional missions, namely teaching and research, towards a new mission related to awareness, teaching, training, support and advice in entrepreneurship. The latter is manifested by the actions undertaken by universities in the field of entrepreneurship, which is added to research, accentuated by the number of scientific productions oriented towards entrepreneurship and business creation. Thus, it promotes the entrepreneurial spirit by training and accompanying students in all phases related to the implementation of their projects. Thus, it has gone from being a simple means that adapts to the changes in the environment to being the center of these changes.

Our research deals first with the relationship between the university and entrepreneurship, then with the dimensions necessary to talk about an entrepreneurial university and the active pedagogies of teaching entrepreneurship, and finally in the context of the Moroccan entrepreneurial university.
