AbstractIn today’s economy, which is extremely challenging and competitive at the same time, many people want to have their own business and manage their own incomes. Entrepreneurship is a key driver of today’s economy. This observation underscores the need to ensure adequate entrepreneurial education, in line with the demands on the labor market. The purpose and role of this experience are to educate students to understand the entrepreneurial activity, to develop their entrepreneurial skills and competencies and the intention to run a business. The learning environment is crucial for a successful entrepreneur and he can generate change. This article describes experiences from developing and using the entrepreneurial learning environment in high schools with a technological profile. In this study 1200 students from three technological high schools were observed, the behavior and the results obtained after studying the specialized economic modules were analyzed. Our goal was to identify the main challenges of these students. In our study, we used a mixed-method: questionnaires, topic-based interviews, direct and participatory observation as data collection methods. According to our results, the main challenges were: difficulties in understanding new entrepreneurial notions due to traditional teaching methods, lack of ICT skills, lack of team learning principles and inefficient communication within a group.

Traditional Teaching Methods

The spread of information technology has changed the role of language teachers considerably. Being a good educator and an expert in their field are not enough anymore, but teachers are expected to be modern, which means, to possess the ability to design interactive classes (often by using digital tools) and use teaching methods that engage students in a creative way. Today it is a general requirement for teachers to know their way around technology and to possess the know-how of implementing it in a way that fosters language learning. To this purpose teachers need to take into account all facets of technology use, including the advantages and disadvantages of technology-mediated tasks, their usefulness for language learning (e.g. if they are related to the topic of the lesson, are challenging enough for students), helpful resources for students, etc. Technology is regarded as a supplementary instrument to traditional teaching methods that can impact students’ motivation to learn in a positive way, provided it is used for activities that are in line with their needs and expectations. Task-based activities are considered to be especially useful in this regard, allowing students to practice their language skills in an authentic context and also develop creative thinking and problem solving abilities. Web 2.0 technologies (e.g. software programs for creating quizzes and polls, language learning websites, chat programs, wikis, etc.) offer a variety of valuable resources both for activities in the classroom and for practice at home.

Economic Reality

In the new economic reality and global transformations, new scenarios of professions and jobs that are not taught anywhere are emerging. In the modern world, knowledge as well as some professions become obsolete very quickly. In this situation, the so-called "soft skills" such as the ability of problem solving with the comprehensive approach, critical thinking, initiative and creativity come to the fore. They are these skills that remain with a person for the rest of their life and help them retrain, find themselves in new professions, adapt to changing living conditions. In our opinion, these skills are formed successfully, when scientific researches in the course of training are conducted, various projects that form entrepreneurial skills are developed. The introduction of a research component and project-based training into educational programs will help those who are looking for a new job now, in the crisis, or in the future. Automation of production processes and robotization go on continuously and increase the role of people, forcing them to compete in creativity and mastering new skills. At the same time, it is important to understand that the formation of skills, and in particular soft skills, is a long process. Therefore, in this study, special attention is paid to the consistency and continuity of training programs for young entrepreneurs, starting from the age of 12. A systematic approach, the interrelated modules and the gradual deepening of knowledge will allow to form a professional with an entrepreneurial mindset. The directions of formation of key entrepreneurial skills are considered (formation and development of interest among young people in entrepreneurial activity; formation of basic skills aimed at creating their own entrepreneurial project; formation and development of entrepreneurial competencies among young people on the basis of an individual educational training; involvement of young people in entrepreneurial activity). The necessary conditions and obstacles to the implementation of the suggested system are justified.

This article reports on the outcomes for students who experienced a strongly inclusive learning environment as a means for all to succeed. This Swedish lower secondary school dramatically improved its results, and the article reports the outcomes from the students’ perspectives. Social capital, with its emphasis on relationships, was used to structure interviews with students who had since moved on to high schools across Sweden and was also used to analyse the interview data. Two elements of social capital that appeared to be strongly associated with the students’ success – trust and confidence – are discussed in depth. The article concludes with a consideration of the significance of the role of schools in cultivating trust and the risks associated with schools ignoring this obligation.

Collaboration And Communication

For many years, school librarians have recognized the importance of collaborating with teachers to integrate inquiry into student work but have met with varying degrees of success in achieving this goal. Traditional teaching methods, attitudes and expectations, lack of understanding of the role of the school librarian, staffing multiple schools, communication roadblocks, and scheduling have all contributed to the difficulties of creating truly collaborative units for students. Technology can provide a creative strategy for encouraging and supporting collaboration with teachers. At the same time, it is vital to involve students in the creation of their own knowledge through collaboration and communication with others. The use of LibGuides is examined as a framework and tool for both these purposes.

Traditional Pedagogy

This paper gives an overview of principal distinction between the aims of the so-called "traditional" and "progressive" education and respective pedagogies associated with each. The term "traditional" education is used to denote the kind of education that prepares people for their role in society as it is, while the term "progressive" is used for education that aspires to equip mankind with capacity to shape the change of society. The paper raises some critical questions about the role of pedagogy in achieving the aims of the progressive model, arguing that the employment of "progressive" methods does not necessarily guarantee the achievement of the commonly professed purposes of progressive education. This is illustrated in the paper by the results of a study in English schools showing how despite the claim of progressive methods, teachers tend to retain traditional attitudes and on the other hand, how even traditional teaching methods can serve the progressive purpose. This is not to advocate for the traditional pedagogy, but to suggest that it might be something other than pedagogy that makes a critical difference in educating liberal-minded citizens of the future. In this sense the paper explores the role of other factors that make a difference towards progressive education, such as democratization of human relations in school ethos and respect for children's freedom.

Traditional teaching methods are outmoded. The face-to-face environment cannot be transferred online. It can only be effective if the design is learner-centric, providing opportunities for different types of interaction, flexibility, choice, collaboration, real-world skills, and learner control. The role of cyber educators is changing from a facilitator to a partner in learning. Learning in the online environment is a reciprocal exchange of knowledge between members of the community, as well as between the instructor and the learner.
