Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Entrepreneurship educators seek to develop entrepreneurial mindsets among learners, but it is not clear what constitutes an entrepreneurial mindset or how to develop one. Planned pedagogical scaffolds have been identified as being a key means to build effective entrepreneurial mindsets through the acquisition of knowledge chunks gained from experiential learning. However, it is not clear what knowledge chunks are required, how to assemble them, or why. In this conceptual paper, we draw on transaction cognition entrepreneurship theory to create a series of planned pedagogical scaffolds, consisting of both activity and coaching elements that help learners develop an expert value creation mindset. Using this theory, we explain what needs to be learned (specific knowledge chunks), how these knowledge chunks can be aggregated into knowledge structures (through a novel template), and why novel activities and coaching tied to their application can build expert value-creation mindsets. In doing so, we respond to calls to better understand entrepreneurial mindsets and calls to develop pedagogy to develop such mindsets. We provide entrepreneurship educators with a new and much needed (integrating) mechanism that illuminates the content of one aspect of an entrepreneurial mindset, specific direction to educators on how they can better assist learners build such mindsets, and a theory-based explanation of why this approach is effective.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
