Abstract: (27 Views)
Objective: This study aims to develop a model for the entrepreneurship curriculum in technical and vocational education in Iran using a qualitative content analysis approach.
Methods: A qualitative research design was applied through semi-structured interviews with 14 experts in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial curriculum, selected via purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Strauss and Corbin’s three-step coding method (open, axial, and selective coding). The validity of the findings was assessed using qualitative validation criteria, including credibility, confirmability, and transferability.
Results: The findings show that the entrepreneurship curriculum is structured around six main components: clear goals emphasizing knowledge, motivation, skills, and entrepreneurial personality development; comprehensive content covering business, management, communication, and entrepreneurship foundations; diverse teaching methods ranging from interactive and technology-based to applied approaches; evaluation strategies assessing knowledge, attitudes, skills, and performance; experiential learning activities such as games, visits, internships, and real-life tasks; and flexible learning environments that combine real and virtual settings with adequate technological support.
Conclusions: The study provides a comprehensive model for entrepreneurship curriculum design in technical and vocational education, which can guide policymakers, educators, and curriculum developers in fostering entrepreneurial competencies among students.
