Teacher2020

Entrepreneurship education prepares people to be responsible and enterprising individuals. It helps people develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary to achieve the goals they set out for themselves.  The European Union is clear that education has a crucial role to play in the shaping and development of young people's attitudes and skills. 

The Teacher2020 project brings together researchers and practitioners from 6 European countries.  The project aims to develop and enhance strategies for entrepreneurship education and from this to generate a European Framework for Entrepreneurship Education. Entrepreneurship education supports the main goals of the Europe 2020 strategy; growths and jobs.  It is important across all levels of education, from primary school to university and beyond.

Education, Theory and Pedagogies of Change in a Global Landscape

Where does theory come from in educational research – and how is it operationalised in diverse disciplinary and professional contexts? This volume examines the pedagogic significance of theory in the work of nine pre- to post-doctoral scholars, whose narratives transport us across wide-ranging fields of inquiry: from Irigaray on mothering in academe to Jamison and engineering education in Denmark; from Te Whāriki in a New Zealand kindergarten to Confucianism in contemporary China.
