Johannesburg : Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF) 2021, 134 S.
The teaching manual defines entrepreneurship education as the ability to develop and implement ideas, that have value for others based on societal challenges or opportunities. The concept was developed for rural South African schools and uses school gardens ('entrepreneurship learning gardens') as a medium of learning and instruction. Starting from the perspective of the garden, learners inquire and develop ideas. Based on Sen's capability approach challenges and opportunities are defined as 'unfreedoms'. The aim of entrepreneurial value creation is the expansion of human freedoms. The manual offers learning projects ('challenges') for primary and secondary schools as well as vocational schools. Additional learning outcomes focus on healthy nutrition and food security, gardening as a vocational skill as well as personal development. (Authors)
