This conceptual paper presents critical thoughts and observations on the recent phenomenon of entrepreneurship education in higher education in the UK. The key challenge the paper emphasizes is the need for greater insight into the conceptual and theoretical development of that phenomenon and a more robust locating of the philosophical foundations of entrepreneurship education within a higher education institution (HEI) adult-learning context. Although concepts and models of entrepreneurship abound, it is difficult to find related concepts and models of entrepreneurship education and, in particular, their underpinning philosophical foundations. Philosophies of adult education have emerged, but there appears to have been no attempt to locate entrepreneurship education within these contextual theoretical paradigms. This is somewhat surprising, as the underpinning philosophy of an educational programme will partially determine the outcomes of the educational process and influence the educational experience. However, this insight may help to explain why, conceptually, entrepreneurship education has mixed meanings and a conflicting discourse. The paper introduces a framework of adult-learning philosophies as a foundation for reflecting and analysing current approaches against philosophical beliefs. The application of the framework leads to a discussion about the potential contrasts and conflicts between underpinning foundations and purpose-in-action. The paper concludes with various perspectives on the building of an emerging robust concept of entrepreneurship education within an HEI adult-learning context.

Purpose Teaching and learning are being transformed by digital technology, where the present generation of students, termed millennials, are more adept with the increasingly digitalised world we live in. Following this, lecturers and institutions are adapting and adopting a blended learning model across disciplines, which now commands an entire domain of research and application. However, questions remain about how ready students are for a blended learning model of instruction. The purpose of this study is to investigate students’ readiness for blended learning in a leading Malaysian private higher education institution. Design/methodology/approach This study used a non-experimental quantitative research design. Data were gathered from a sample of 274 pre-university and undergraduate students using the blended learning readiness engagement questionnaire. Data was analysed using WINSTEPS Rasch model measurement software to determine the validity and reliability of the instrument. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) scores, (logit) value of the item and (logit) value of a person was used to examine students’ readiness for a blended learning model of instruction and specifically assess their readiness based on gender, age, ethnicity and field of study. Findings Findings indicate that students were ready for blended learning. Further analysis indicated there were differences in students’ readiness for blended learning based on gender, age, ethnicity and field of study. Originality/value This study provides insight into students’ readiness towards blended learning in a leading Malaysian private higher education institution, discusses implications for blended learning practices and offers recommendations for future research.

This paper examines the legitimating process of a French higher education institution entirely dedicated to entrepreneurship. Management and entrepreneurship education strive both for academic and market legitimacies. We think entrepreneurship education is confronted with an additional challenge: building political legitimacy. We analyze the "extreme case" study of Advancia, a Paris business school. We examined the business school's legitimation process over a period of six years, from 2004 to 2010. This "extreme case" may be informative for other business schools willing to reach academic, market and political legitimacies while at the same time trying to develop a coherent and stable global strategy in a competitive higher education landscape. This is the first article dealing with the topic of legitimacy acquisition processes, with the aim of emphasizing the institutionalization of entrepreneurial mindset in French entrepreneurship higher education.

This paper reports on an examination of the perspectives of academics, enterprise enablers and graduate entrepreneurs of an entrepreneurial higher education institution (HEI). The research was conducted in Ireland among 30 graduate entrepreneurs and 15 academics and enterprise enablers (enterprise development agency personnel) to provide a triangulated perspective of the HEI. While acknowledging the presence of initiatives to promote entrepreneurship, the graduate entrepreneurs believed that the HEI does not prepare students for self-employment because HEIs are focused on preparing students for employment, because of the academic nature of entrepreneurship education (EE), and because a ‘one size fits all’ approach to EE fails to recognize the heterogeneity of learners' needs. However, they conceded that graduate enterprise programmes provided them with the necessary ‘breathing space’ to develop their businesses. In contrast, some enterprise enablers believed that HEIs could be a ‘hiding place’, protecting student and graduate entrepreneurs from the harsh realities of commercial life. While this paper provides a nuanced understanding of what constitutes good practice, the authors concede that there is no formulaic blueprint for an entrepreneurial HEI. More significantly, they conclude that the notion of an entrepreneurial HEI may yet be a step too far for many institutions, because entrepreneurship has yet to gain legitimacy, particularly in the Irish HE sector.

This invited writing shares the education methodology known as Wicked problem, Experiences, Available Resources, Solution-Innovation (WEARS) and results from applying a pilot education program with a group of international students. The pilot involved three components that contribute to enhancing leadership skills based on stakeholder informed or bottom-up change: 1) developing a professional competition, 2) proposing a WEARS project, and 3) initiating a related outreach event. Outlines of student projects are shared. Students’ interests in generalized sustainability related education topics were polled and results are presented as an average of the group. Reflection on conducting the pilot is also presented from an exploratory action research perspective. Potential translation to higher education sustainability related projects was a driver for action research. Several conclusions are shared related to the educational structure and content for application of the WEARS methodology at a higher education institution. Future research and iterations of the program are proposed in coordination with a higher education institution that promotes interdisciplinary education. Specifically, means to select program candidates and longitudinal study of overall impacts are proposed as necessary to continuously update the WEARS methodology.

Alinhados ao movimento de profissionalização da docência, apresentamos, neste texto, resultados de uma pesquisa-ação colaborativa, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada numa instituição de Educação Superior pública do interior do Estado da Bahia, cujo objetivo foi conhecer as representações de professores-pesquisadores sobre a profissão docente. Considerados produtores de conhecimento sobre as suas próprias práticas educativas, os docentes têm se implicado nesse processo formativo, de forma espontânea. Os dados tomados como corpus de análise foram coletados em reuniões de formação, que acontecem quinzenalmente, no próprio locus de trabalho dos professores. Contribuições de Tardif (2009), Soares e Cunha (2010), Carbonneau (2006), Bourdoncle (2006), D’Ávila e Soneville (2008) e Rios (2009) deram a principal sustentação teórica para a interpretação dos dados produzidos. Para análise desse material, aproximamo-nos da técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2006). A análise dos dados produzidos no primeiro ano desta pesquisa indicam que os professores exercem a profissão intuitivamente, sem o domínio dos conhecimentos didáticos e pedagógicos. Assim, a profissão docente, no ensino superior, vai sendo construída mediante a socialização profissional e a troca de experiência com os pares. Os resultados sinalizam fragilidades na profissionalidade docente dos colaboradores da pesquisa, aspectos que podem estar atrelados a não existência de uma política de formação e desenvolvimento profissional para os docentes da Educação Superior.Todavia, com a participação nesta pesquisa-ação colaborativa, os professores têm tido oportunidade de refletir sobre suas práticas, teorizar sobre elas e experimentar inová-las, o que nos anima a continuar avançando nesse processo de desenvolvimento profissional.Palavras-chave: Profissão Docente. Pesquisa-ação colaborativa. Profissionalidade.ABSTRACTAligned to the teaching professionalization movement, we present in this text, results of a collaborative action research, with a qualitative approach, performed at a public higher education institution in the state of Bahia, Brazil. It aims to a better understandingonthe professors-researchers’ representations about the teaching career. Regarded as producers of knowledge about their own educational practices, professors have been involved spontaneously in this formative process. Data taken for the analysis set was collected in training meetings, which take place at every two weeks, at the professors’ own working locus. Contributions from Tardif; Soares and Cunha; Carbonneau; Bourdoncle; D'Avila and Soneville; Rivers and Enguita, gave the main theoretical framework for the interpretation of the data produced. For the analysis, we approached Bardin’s (1977) content analysis technique. Analyzing the data produced in the first year of this research, we came up with the conclusion that the professor sactintuitively, having no domain of didactics or pedagogy. Thereby, the teaching profession for higher education is being built by professional socialization and exchange of experience among pairs. The results indicate some weakness in the teaching profession, aspects that may be linked to a lack of training policies, and professional development for these professors. However, with the participation in this collaborative action research, professors have had the opportunity to reflect on their own practice, to theorize about it, and to experience innovatingthem. This encourages us to continue moving forward in this process of professional development.Keywords: Teaching Profession. Action research collaborative.Professionalism.RESUMENAlineados con el movimiento de profesionalización docente, presentamos, en este texto, resultados de una investigación - acción colaborativa, de enfoque cualitativo, realizado en una institución de Educación Superior pública en el Estado de Bahía, que tiene como objetivo conocer las representaciones de profesores investigadores sobre la profesión docente.
