Learning Theories and Pedagogy – Research
Abstract
Entrepreneurship is “complex, chaotic, and lacks any notion of linearity”. Yet, it is central to the U.S. economy and therefore, the responsibility of university educators to prepare students to succeed in these highly uncertain environments. This study focuses on field trips as a pedagogical tool and uses a quasi-experimental design to evaluate the impact of a site visit to a hemp farm on entrepreneurial learning among upper-level undergraduate business students attending a small liberal arts college in the southeastern United States. This study contributes to the literature on specific pedagogies in entrepreneurship education and suggests directions for future action.
