PERCEIVED AND DESIRED ENTREPRENEURIAL CULTURE IN THE CLASSROOM BY SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The results obtained by the application of the instruments presented in the first communication of this symposium are presented. The student sample consisted of 2308 participants from 18 educational centers. 73.6% of the students (1698 students) belonged to public institutes, 23.5% (542 students) to concerted centers, and 2.9% (68 students) to private centers. Of these students1101 were men (47.7%) and 1203 women (52.1%), finding 4 people without indicating their gender (0.2%), 16.5% of 1º ESO; 14.4% of 2º ESO; 13% of 3º ESO; 20.4% of 4ºESO; 21.9% of 1st High School; and 13.7% of 2nd High School. The age of the students varies from 10 to 18 years, being the average 14.84 and the standard deviation 1.77. With respect to the place of origin, the sample consisted of 1922 students from Asturias (83.3%), 372 from Castilla y León (16.1%) and 14 from Cantabria (0.6%). The assessment of the perceived entrepreneurial culture in the classroom by students is based on average scores both in their overall assessment and in relation to the purpose of education, teaching processes, learning processes and educational setting. The assessment of the desired entrepreneurial culture in the classrooms by students is superior to that perceived, both globally and in relation to the purpose of education, teaching processes, learning processes and educational setting.Differences detected between the perceived and desired culture in the classrooms are significant. These results reveal that students perceive in their centers some teaching performances closed to cognitive and humanistic paradigms, they bet for it when indicating desires of improvement in these performances, and these desires are upwards and statistically significant with respect to the ones perceived
