O efeito da educação empreendedora na carreira profissional dos estudantes de empreendedorismo

Abstract

The present master's work contributes to the undergraduate programs of Higher Education with curricular grades that present the emphasis in Entrepreneurship when analyzing how the process of entrepreneurial formation influences its students in their professional experiences after the academic formation and how they experienced the transmission of this knowledge in classroom. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with students from an institution located in the city of São Paulo, whose training in Administration offers classes dedicated to the subject and whose years of training were between 2011 and 2017. The research is qualitative with the use of the technique of semi-structured interviews applied to the 13 graduates who accepted to be part of the study. In addition, a debate was held with a teacher of the course of emphasis, whose knowledge on the construction of the program content and methodology applied in the subjects of entrepreneurship offered a broad vision on the process of formation, allowing the triangulation between external expectations, the perspective of the student body and the counterpoint of the one who teaches. As a result of the analysis, the respondents identified significant positive and favorable influence in their professional lives. It was also stated how much the program content and methodology were very appropriate and consistent with the reality experienced in the labor market. The perspective of teaching enriched the understanding of the process of structuring the project of classes of the disciplines of the emphasis on Entrepreneurship. It is hoped that the results obtained in this work will aggregate in the debates carried out in the educational sphere by providing concrete and realistic subsidies on the form of learning the theme of entrepreneurship and the relevance of entrepreneurial education, whether applied to compulsory undergraduate subjects or in the emphasis dedicated to the theme.
