Blended Intensive Programmes - BIP: Motivações e experiências de aprendizagem dos estudantes para o empreendedorismo
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
Esta investigação examina as motivações e as experiências de aprendizagem para o empreendedorismo, centrando-se num jogo de simulação empresarial implementado num Blended Intensive Program (BIP) desenvolvido por um consórcio europeu de ensino superior, o Stars EU. O programa envolveu professores e alunos e foi concebido para fornecer conhecimentos práticos de negócios num ambiente seguro e sem riscos. Neste contexto, o estudo teve como objetivo identificar as motivações e perceções dos participantes relativamente aos conhecimentos adquiridos com o programa. Com base num questionário administrado a 28 participantes, os resultados indicam um elevado nível de motivação dos estudantes para participarem no programa, bem como uma perceção positiva dos conhecimentos adquiridos após a sua conclusão. Esta investigação conclui que os métodos de aprendizagem inovadores, como as simulações empresariais e a aprendizagem experimental, são cruciais para a nova geração de estudantes, especialmente para aqueles que aspiram a carreiras de empreendedorismo.
