Application Empreenda Agro Sustentável: driving tool for entrepreneurial behavior

Abstract

Being an entrepreneur does not just mean having your own business, entrepreneurship is linked to individual actions and capabilities, that is, having entrepreneurial characteristics is being able to create, modulate and sustain innovative ideas globally. To assist entrepreneurial activities in the agrarian sciences, this work developed a portable application, accessible and usable by academics of agrarian sciences, professionals in related areas and rural producers in order to provide educational guidance in sustainable entrepreneurship, thus becoming a tool directed to entrepreneurial education. The application was developed in the Kotlin language, in the Android Studio 3.4.1 programming environment and Android operating system. The application development process included: (1) selection of the educational content transfer strategy; (2) involvement of users participating in the program; (3) participation of specialized consultants; (4) creation and conversion of content in an Android smartphone application; and (5) usability tests of the prototype version of the application during an extension program. The proposed objective was achieved, as the authors were able to successfully develop a tool for educational support for the teaching of entrepreneurship which is already registered with the National Institute of Industrial Property INPI, number BR 51 2019 002657 8, and is available for use mobile.
