Introducing Student Self-assessment as a New Assessment Tool in Entrepreneurship Education

Abstract

This paper introduces a new way of assessing entrepreneurial learning in entrepreneurship education (EE) from the student perspective. We inductively study how self-assessment through a reflective task using video-clips can trigger and instill entrepreneurial thinking and learning about entrepreneurship among business and non-business students at higher education institutions (HEIs) in Finland and Denmark, after participating in a course with entrepreneurship as a part of the course content. We show that video-clip is a powerful self-assessment tool in EE as personal reflections trigger entrepreneurial skills. Furthermore, we show that no matter the study context, students can assess their own entrepreneurial learning.
