Formando jovens empreendedores: o ensino de empreendedorismo nas escolas do ensino médio de Floriano-PI

Abstract

The presence of entrepreneurship in the educational environment is seen as an important tool for encouraging innovation, independence and training of students in order to overcome the demands of today's society. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze entrepreneurship teaching practices in high schools in Floriano – PI. For this, field research was carried out with a quantitative approach. Data were obtained through questionnaires applied to a sample of 10 directors of secondary education institutions. The information collected was later organized and analyzed using the Microsoft Excel® program (version 2023). The study revealed that, although schools recognize the importance of teaching entrepreneurship, the implementation of this subject faces significant challenges, such as the lack of trained teachers, inadequate physical structure and lack of incentives. The research highlights the need for professional qualification of teachers and the structuring of appropriate materials for an effective approach to the discipline. These findings highlight the importance of educational policies that encourage the training of young entrepreneurs and innovation in the school curriculum.
