Description
Summary:This thesis is about how students see their education, creativity and future based on our understanding of the concept of entrepreneurial learning. The aim is to highlight if and how this relatively new concept in the school world is rooted in pupils everyday lives. To get answers to our questions, we talked to students about their thoughts and reflections on their schooling, but also their views on how they think their future will look like. We have also examined what students associate to the concept of creativity by letting the pupils make a mind map during the interview sessions. Research and theories are talking about how to conduct school education, but despite all this knowledge the results in today´s schools drops. We have chosen the entrepreneurial learning because the concept of this subject matches what the society requires from individuals seeking employments in today´s society. Studies on the entrepreneurial learning can be seen especially in the higher ages in the school system, hence our choice to talk about this concept with younger pupils. Our paper shows that the pupils can see a strong link between education and the future, and various factors that contribute to pupils perspective. Key words: entrepreneurial learning, creativity, education, future
