Metacognition and Discovery Learning to Develop the Entrepreneurial Mindset and Creativity. A Case From Colombia

• In Event: ID- Metacognition and Discovery Learning to Develop the Entrepreneurial Mindset and Creativity. A Case From Colombia

Short Description

This study shows one approach to using discovery learning and metacognitive reflection assignments to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and creativity, within undergraduate students. The entrepreneurial mindset helps students identify opportunities, find, and solve problems, exploit opportunities, and generate ideas in complex and dynamic environments (like in COVID times). Using this instructional approach and activities to help students understand how to tackle uncertainty is vital to developing their social-emotional skills, building self-efficacy, and promoting self-concept.
