Assessment of transversal competencies in entrepreneurial education: a literature review and a pilot study
2019
Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The concept of entrepreneurial competencies is complex, comprising components that can be acquired and changed through experience, training and education (Man, Lau & Chan, 2002). The relevance of such competencies for education calls for a better understanding of two issues: (i) what such competencies are, and (ii) how they can be assessed. In fact, given the inherent complexity in defining entrepreneurial competencies as an umbrella term for different elements, there is a certain risk of ambiguous and non-unique conceptualizations of them (Chell, 2013; Mitchelmore & Rowley, 2010). In this paper we first carry out a literature review regarding the conceptualization and measurement of entrepreneurial competencies. In the second stage, we develop a set of tools to assess the competencies identified and carry out a pilot study on a sample of 60 students attending entrepreneurship education courses in five European countries. La valutazione delle competenze trasversali nella formazione all’imprenditorialità Il concetto di competenze imprenditoriali è complesso e comprende componenti che possono essere acquisite e implementate attraverso l’esperienza, la formazione e l’istruzione (Man, Lau & Chan, 2002). La rilevanza delle competenze imprenditoriali per le politiche di istruzione e formazione richiede una migliore comprensione di due questioni: (i) l’identificazione di tali competenze e (ii) la valutazione delle stesse (Chell, 2013; Mitchelmore & Rowley, 2010). Questo lavoro presenta un’analisi della letteratura riguardante la concettualizzazione e la misurazione delle competenze trasversali legate all’imprenditorialità, una serie di strumenti che sono stati individuati per valutare le competenze identificate e uno studio pilota su un campione di 60 studenti universitari coinvolti in corsi di formazione all’imprenditorialità in cinque paesi europei.
