Anywhere : a extensão das práticas de educação empreendedora para o ambiente digital

Abstract

Technological advances and research in the field of Informatics in Education and especially the advent of the Internet have fostered the creation/adaptation of educational methodologies and classroom models for the virtual. The virtual environment expands and complements the opportunities to teach and learn and, in 2020, we were encouraged to adopt on an emergency episode to adopt practices associated with e-learning. Thus, this study aims to propose a model for the extension of entrepreneurial education to a digital environment using e-learning methodologies and tools. The study of exploratory character and qualitative nature was supported by literature review, considering the themes of entrepreneurial education and elearning. The data collection was carried out by conducting two focus groups with entrepreneurs and organizers of entrepreneurial education programs, in order to identify and understand how e-learning methodologies and tools were used in the execution of entrepreneurial education in the online mode. In addition, seven interviews were conducted with education specialists to map the process of transforming entrepreneurial education into the digital environment. Finally, when analyzing the data and the results obtained, points of convergence and points of divergence with the literature were found, emphasizing, mainly, the use of active methodologies in digital environments such as convergence and entrepreneurial education being exposed in theoretical format, not practical, like divergence. The analysis of the results provided subsidies for the construction of a transition framework for entrepreneurial education programs that constitute the main result of this investigation.
