Best Social Entrepreneurship Teaching and Learning Strategies for Promoting Students' Social Entrepreneurial Minds: A Scoping Review
Abstract
This paper aims to explore the best teaching and learning strategies for promoting students' social entrepreneurial minds. At the initial stage, the scoping review draws from 198 secondary data from various works in the social entrepreneurship education context, including studies on education programs, curricular development, knowledge-acquiring mechanisms, and social entrepreneurial exploration processes. It also examines instructional methods and strategies that foster the development of potential social entrepreneur mindsets. Finally, 26 included papers present a Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach, Experiential Learning, Action Learning, Community-Based Project, and Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as effective social entrepreneurship teaching and learning approaches to promote social entrepreneurial mindsets. The review concludes that a combination of all of the aforementioned teaching and learning strategies is among the top teaching approaches for effective social entrepreneurship education. The paper proposes that dynamic social entrepreneurship curricula and learning models that emphasize hands-on experience and experience-based learning can be effective strategies for promoting students' social entrepreneurial minds.
