Abstract:

This report outlines substantial progress in the research aimed at examining the connection between the criteria of the Entrecomp Framework and the courses conducted by the University of La Laguna (ULL) within the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Actions and Trainings for higher education (IDEATION) project.

The Entrecomp Framework, developed by the European Commission, encompasses a set of key competencies crucial for entrepreneurship. The ULL's IDEATION project seeks to analyze the potential integration of these criteria into its courses to enhance the entrepreneurial capacity of students.

An analysis of the courses offered by ULL within the IDEATION project is currently underway, evaluating the presence and strengthening of Entrecomp competencies. This involves a comprehensive review of course content to collect both quantitative and qualitative data.

Prudently, we can report that preliminary results reveal a considerable alignment between the criteria of the Entrecomp Framework and the courses offered by ULL. Areas for improvement were identified, particularly in the integration of practical experiences and the promotion of creativity and innovation. Despite a solid connection between courses and Entrecomp criteria, challenges were identified in terms of assessment and monitoring. It is suggested to implement more effective methods for measuring the development of entrepreneurial competencies over time.

The research team recommends conducting a more detailed analysis, addressing the identified challenges, and providing specific recommendations to enhance the integration of Entrecomp criteria in IDEATION courses. At this point, we can highlight promising advances in the relationship between Entrecomp Framework criteria and the courses offered by ULL. It is expected that these results will contribute significantly to the academic literature on the development of entrepreneurial competencies in the university setting.
