Is there a relationship between education and entrepreneurship?
In addressing the word education, intuitively we do its association with the teaching, learning, school, family, education, etc. However, the concept of education is being expanded, reaching other formal and non-formal settings. Also, when we think about the idea of entrepreneurship, usually we make the association the ability to create new opportunities, manage businesses, achieve success, generating employment, income and wealth. But entrepreneurship goes beyond all this implies, since it implies the realization of the individual by caring attitudes, boldness in search of a personal and collective growth through the development of intellectual capacity to investigate and solve problems, make decisions, have initiative, autonomy and innovative guidance, skills that are increasingly required in vocational training and valued in the workplace.
According to Fernando Dolabela in entrepreneurial Pedagogy (2003), the educator should take the protagonist's place in the process. Innovate as an activity inherent in entrepreneurship, it becomes a way to learn to be an entrepreneur. Establish a relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship is a way of promoting entrepreneurship education.
The Entrepreneurial Education relies on the active participation of the management and educators, seeks to recognize and work individualities capable of dialectically "remake" a reality that no longer meets the collective interests. For this to be possible, it is essential that teachers invest in their professional growth and development, pursuing a relationship with reality that is inquisitive, innovative and reflective.
The Entrepreneurial Education is an environment for the joint construction of knowledge, is a staging environment for life. Favorable conditions for the student to develop a sense of competence and strengthen the self-esteem that come from immersion in a learning system that has as its axis the relationships he establishes with himself and the world, enabling a significant training, which takes into account their existential baggage, cognitive, emotional and social.
Anyway, undertake involves a personal investment, a free and creative work on their own, sustainable projects for the construction of an identity, which is also a professional identity, and in the process achieve the main objective of the school, which is to develop a quality learning where the student can be inserted and have access to diverse knowledge.
