Entrepreneurship Education in Namibia: A Study of Tertiary Education Classroom Practices
Iipinge, Selma M.; Shimpanda, Anna M.
Industry and Higher Education, v36 n1 p94-103 Feb 2022
The notion of entrepreneurship education is critical in the context of Namibia's endeavours to become a knowledge economy by 2030. This study highlights the profile of entrepreneurship educators, identifies the teaching methods used in teaching entrepreneurship and explores whether the teaching methods differ based on the target audience. Data were collected using a survey with open-ended questions sent to educators. This was followed up with scheduled interviews. The study finds that entrepreneurship educators are variously referred to as teachers, lecturers, trainers, facilitators and tutors, depending on the target audience and the organisation they work for. The results further reveal that educators use different teaching and training methods, which are accompanied by various tools that aid teaching and that vary depending on the target audience. As highlighted by the study, the entrepreneurship curriculum should be developed bearing in mind the diversity of target audiences.
