Evaluate the learner experience of enterprise and entrepreneurship education
Overview
This standard is about how to develop appropriate approaches and practices to evaluating the experience of the learner of enterprise and entrepreneurship education. It requires you to identify existing evaluation arrangements within the institution, review approaches to evaluating the learner experience of enterprise and entrepreneurship education curricula, manage the evaluation process with the learner and, where appropriate, make sense of the outcomes to inform future enterprise and entrepreneurship education curricula development.
For the purposes of this standard, enterprise and entrepreneurship education refers to the process of equipping learners with an enhanced capacity, ideas and skills to make ideas happen, whether it is in the context of starting and running a business or working for someone else. Enterprise refers to a set of personal abilities, skills and behaviours which can be used in a variety of different contexts whilst entrepreneurship refers to an individual or group of individuals creating, developing and managing a new venture. Institution refers to the organisation you work in, whether this is a school, further education college, higher education institution or private training provider.
This standard is recommended for individuals involved in the design, development and delivery of enterprise and entrepreneurship education curricula in schools, colleges, higher education institutions and other education contexts.
