THE DYNAMICS OF ENTPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION: EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY

Summary/Abstract: The basic aim of this study is to explore the expectations of university students from entrepreneurship courses, and discuss the basic dynamics of entrepreneurship education. The research was conducted with a survey form on 244 ‘business administration’ department students of Giresun University, Turkey. The results of the study reveal that, the students expect entrepreneurship courses that have multi dimensions, in terms of a rich content. The preparation of business plan, invitation of successful entrepreneurs to the courses, encouragement, conference requirement and practice focused lectures are some of the key elements that mentioned by the students for effective entrepreneurial education. The results of the data analysis also showed that, the age and ‘year of education’ of participants is significantly and positively correlated with their thoughts on the entrepreneurship education courses. However, the analysis results indicate that, there is no significant relation with the gender, education groups, income levels, the existence of entrepreneurs in the family, the identity of entrepreneur and the thoughts on the entrepreneurship education, in the frame of this sample.
