Paper ID #22395Influence of an Entrepreneurial Mindset on P-12 Students’ Problem Framing(Work-in-Progress)Eunhye Kim, Purdue Polytechnic Institute Eunhye Kim is a Ph.D student in Technology Leadership and Innovation at Purdue University, West Lafayette, with a focus on engineering and technology education. Her research interests lie in engineering design thinking, innovation and entrepreneurship education in engineering, and engineering professional skills. She earned a B.S. in Electronics Engineering and an MBA in South Korea.Dr. Greg J Strimel, Purdue Polytechnic Institute Dr. Greg J. Strimel is an assistant professor of
theiragreement with 30 statements, partly taken from the ROSE questionnaire, section D [7]amended with some statements created for this purpose together with the university’s circulareconomy and sustainability experts. The third and fourth question of the survey targetedpupils’ ideas about business and their orientation toward entrepreneurial learning. Therespondents were first asked to evaluate the importance of 13 different aspects when doingbusiness. Then, they were asked to assess how well the 17 statements described them andtheir behaviour. The 13 aspects and 17 statements were created together with the university’ssustainable business and entrepreneurial education experts, and the development of the latterquestion was somewhat rooted in the
generally had one eye on their summerprojects and the other on their classrooms and computer clubs at school. This thinking reflectspositively on the program. Teachers’ descriptions of how they would use, for example,programming, soldering, 3D printing, robotic movements were all explained in ways that made itclear that they were poised to take their students from “reading about” to doing science, and fromclassrooms to labs and computer clubs.Business mindset: Teachers reported that the business and entrepreneurial activities provided animportant new dimension to their learning and teaching. They felt strongly that these ideas andexperiences would add a practical dimension that would motivate their students. Teachers reportedthat they can now
