Title: The assessment of students' entrepreneurship competence: Results from an interfaculty event based on Google Design Sprint

Abstract: This contribution assesses the entrepreneurship competence that students cultivated during an interfaculty and innovative initiative grounded on Google Design Sprint methodology. It adopts a combined set of tools to gather data, including an online questionnaire leaning on the EntreComp framework, with both Likert scales and open-ended questions, as well as focus groups asking the participants what they learnt during the initiative. The analyses triangulate both descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Results contend that the most important competence cultivated is groupwork in heterogenous groups, while a notable offshoot is the nurturing of diverse EntreComp related competences. The conclusion argue that EntreComp is suitable to assess competences from a prescriptive approach, i.e., as standard, especially when it is combined with a contextual approach such as the theory of constructive alignment, focusing on performance and on the learning outcomes students achieved.

Title: La valutazione della competenza imprenditoriale degli studenti: Risultati da un'iniziativa interfacoltà basata su Google Design Sprint

Abstract: Questo contributo valuta la competenza imprenditoriale sviluppata dagli studenti durante un programma innovativo e interfacoltà basato sulla metodologia Google Design Sprint. Adotta un set combinato di strumenti per raccogliere dati, incluso un questionario online basato sul framework Entrecomp, e dotato sia di scale Likert che di domande aperte, come pure focus group su quello che i partecipanti hanno appreso durante l'iniziativa. Le analisi triangolano sia le statistiche descrittive che le analisi tematiche. I risultati suggeriscono che la competenza più importante sviluppata durante questa esperienza è il lavoro di gruppo in team eterogenei, anche se i partecipanti hanno sviluppato diverse altre competenze connesse a EntreComp. Nelle conclusioni si argomenta come questo framework sia indicato per valutare le competenze da un punto di vista prescrittivo, cioè come standard, specialmente quando combinato a un approccio più contestuale come la teoria dell'apprendimento costruttivo, che si focalizza sulla performance e sui risultati di apprendimento acquisiti dagli studenti.

Title: L'évaluation de la compétence en entrepreneuriat des étudiants: résultats d'un événement interfaculté basé sur Google Design Sprint

Abstract: Cette contribution évalue la compétence en entrepreneuriat que les étudiants ont cultivé lors d'une initiative interfaculté et innovante fondée sur la méthodologie de Google Design Sprint.Il adopte un ensemble combiné d'outils pour recueillir des données, y compris un questionnaire en ligne s'appuyant sur le cadre Entrecomp, avec des échelles de Likert et des questions ouvertes, ainsi que des groupes de discussion demandant aux participants ce qu'ils ont appris au cours de l'initiative.Les analyses triangulées à la fois des statistiques descriptives et une analyse thématique.Les résultats soutiennent que la compétence la plus importante cultivée est le travail de groupe dans les groupes hétérogènes, tandis qu'une ramification notable est l'éducation de diverses compétences liées à l'entrée.La conclusion soutient qu'Entrecomp est adapté pour évaluer les compétences d'une approche normative, c'est-à-dire en standard, en particulier lorsqu'elle est combinée avec une approche contextuelle telle que la théorie de l'alignement constructif, en se concentrant sur la performance et sur les résultats d'apprentissage que les élèves ont atteint.

Title: Evaluación de la competencia emprendedora de los estudiantes: Resultados de un evento interfacultativo basado en Google Design Sprint

Abstract: Esta contribución evalúa la competencia emprendedora que los estudiantes cultivaron durante una iniciativa interfacultativa e innovadora basada en la metodología de Google Design Sprint. Adopta un conjunto combinado de herramientas para recopilar datos, incluyendo un cuestionario en línea basado en el marco de EntreComp, con escalas Likert y preguntas abiertas, así como grupos focales que preguntan a los participantes qué aprendieron durante la iniciativa. Los análisis triangulan tanto estadísticas descriptivas como análisis temático. Los resultados sostienen que la competencia más importante cultivada es el trabajo en grupo en grupos heterogéneos, mientras que un subproducto notable es el fomento de diversas competencias relacionadas con EntreComp. La conclusión argumenta que EntreComp es adecuado para evaluar competencias desde un enfoque prescriptivo, es decir, como estándar, especialmente cuando se combina con un enfoque contextual como la teoría del alineamiento constructivo, enfocándose en el rendimiento y en los resultados de aprendizaje alcanzados por los estudiantes.
