Dataset PhD Chapter Four: Entrepreneurship Education

Chapter 4 shifts the analytical focus to the entrepreneurship education context, exploring: How does the entrepreneurship education context shape students’ perceptions of gender roles in entrepreneurship? This chapter answered the research question by trying to understand how the “think entrepreneur–think male” paradigm continues to prevail in entrepreneurship education. By exploring how EE educators and EE students engage with this paradigm, this chapter examines how students’ beliefs about entrepreneurship are shaped within the classroom. This is based on a single case comprising 32 interviews with entrepreneurship education students and educators from a variety of higher education institutions in the Netherlands.
 
Observations were conducted in a learning environment where undergraduate students from a range of EE minors (general, social and tech entrepreneurship) collaborated on projects under the guidance of entrepreneurship educators.
