Abstract

Over the last decades entrepreneurship education has become a vital area of research, classroom practice and policy regulations. Modern practice-based approaches to entrepreneurship education reveal a shift from passive forms of teaching and learning focused on knowledge acquisition towards active, engaging, inclusive and holistic forms, focused rather on postures and skills. The primary goalof this article is to address the problem of shaping postures and attitudes associated with social responsibility within entrepreneurship education. The article introduces the need for socially aware entrepreneurship education, outlines the numerous benefits related to socially responsible entrepreneurship postures to both individual students and society at large. This paper analyses the frameworksof entrepreneurship education by reviewing articles published in this field and draws conclusionsin the form of suggested approaches to applied pedagogy.
