Empoderando a próxima geração de empreendedores: proposta de criação de um produto tecnológico para promoção do empreendedorismo no ensino técnico

Abstract

The study presents a research proposal focused on the development of the "Interactive Technical Entrepreneurship (ETI)" product, which aims to address the gap in entrepreneurial training for technical education students. The main objective is to investigate how the knowledge acquired in educational institutions and the socioeconomic profiles of students influence the development of an entrepreneurial mindset. The adopted methodology is descriptive, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques through a survey to collect data on risk disposition, the importance of social contacts, and other entrepreneurial skills and attitudes. The results indicate that the introduction of interactive curricular content and business development tools, as part of the ETI, significantly contributes to stimulating entrepreneurship among students. This finding contradicts previous theories that suggest a low efficacy of traditional teaching methods in fostering an entrepreneurial mindset. Furthermore, it is found that the integration of advanced technologies, such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence, in technical education, provides a more immersive and effective learning experience, revealing new relationships between the use of educational technology and the development of entrepreneurial skills. The conclusions highlight the effectiveness of the ETI in shaping a new generation of technical entrepreneurs, equipped with the necessary skills to innovate and thrive in a competitive business environment. The study reinforces the importance of innovative pedagogical approaches and the need to align technical education with the demands of the contemporary job market.
