Bulgaristan Üniversitelerinde girişimcilik eğitiminin metodolojik sorunları

Bir eğitim kavramı olarak girişimcilik birçok dengesizlikle nitelendirilmektedir ve bunlardan biri de, sunulan ders başlıklarıyla ilişkilidir. Girişimcinin kim olduğu, sosyal ve psikolojik profilinin neye benzediği, girişimcilerin neler yaptığı ve nelerden hoşlandığı gibi soruların cevabı üzerinde odaklanılmaktadır, bir şeyleri yapma yöntemlerine daha az dikkatedilmektedir. Eğitim alanlara sunulan gereçler sıklıkla, bu tür bilgilerinküçük veya orta büyüklükteki bir şirkete uygulanmasının zor olduğu gerçeği dikkate alınmaksızın, doğrudan yönetim teorisinden ve büyük şirketlerin uygulamasından alınmaktadır. Olgu çalışması yönteminin dahageniş bir uygulaması, girişimcilik eğitimi için daha geniş bir metodolojiktemelin eksikliğini telafi etmez. Girişimcilik eğitimine ilişkin metodoloji, belirli ülkelerdeki eğitim süreci ve girişimcilik uygulamasının özellikleri de göz önüne alınarak ya girişimcilik fırsatlarının tespiti ve bunlardan istifa edilmesi için yeni bir metodolojik araç geliştirme temelinde yada büyük şirketler tarafından kullanılan yöntemlerin benimsenmesiyleoluşturulabilir. Bu çalışma, Bulgaristan'daki girişimci topluluğun belirlenen sorunlu alanlarının yanı sıra yükseköğretimin özelliklerinden bazıları ile ilişkilendirerek ülkedeki girişimcilik eğitimi metodolojisini benimseme çabalarını özetlemektedir. Yazı ayrıca, Bulgaristan'daki girişimcilikeğitimi için metodolojik temeli geliştirmeye yönelik öneriler de sunmaktadır

Methodological Problems of Entrepreneurship Education in Bulgarian Universities

As an educational concept entrepreneurship is characterized by lots ofimbalances. One of them is related to the offered course topics. Effortsare focused on answering questions like who is an entrepreneur, how hisor her social and psychological profile looks like, what entrepreneurs doand the like. Less attention is paid to ways of doing things. Often, thetools presented to the trainees are brought in directly from the management theory and practice of large companies, without taking into accountthe fact that such knowledge is difficult to implement in a small or medium-sized company. A wider application of the case study method cannotcompensate for the lack of a broader methodological basis for entrepreneurial training. The methodology associated with entrepreneurshipeducation can be formed either on the basis of developing a new methodological apparatus for detection and exploitation of entrepreneurialopportunities, or through adapting of methods used by large companies,taking into account the particularities of the educational process andentrepreneurial practice in specific countries. This paper summarizes theattempts to adapt the methodology of entrepreneurial training inBulgaria linking it to some of the features of higher education as well aswith the established problem areas of the entrepreneurial community inthe country. The paper also offers guidelines for improving the methodological basis for entrepreneurial training in Bulgaria
