Abstract

The study presented here investigates the question of how entrepreneurship education can be embedded into academic courses of life science students, to provide basic economic compe-tencies. From the perspective of business education, a pragmatic approach has been taken within the framework of an interventional study. This approach combines entrepreneurship education with a problem-based learning approach and the case study method. Using a framework based upon knowledge, skills and attitudes, the students' acquisition of competencies has been evalu-ated. For this purpose, a longitudinal study with two cohorts (n = 23) was conducted in 2018 and 2019, which included a knowledge test and a self-assessment. The test instrument was based on two validated tests, namely the 'Test of Economic Literacy' and 'Questions on Economic Knowledge'. In addition, qualitative reflective essays were carried out to examine the develop-ment of student's skills and attitudes. Although the knowledge test did not show any increase in students' knowledge of economics, the results of the self-assessment and the reflective essays at least indicate a positive impact of the learning environment on students' skills and attitudes. Consequently, the teaching design considered in this study may also be relevant to other studies of embedded entrepreneurship in academic courses.
