ASTEE – Assessment tools for Entrepreneurship

The ASTEE – Assessment tools for Entrepreneurship – project aims to establish a common tool for measuring the entrepreneurial competences of students across Europe.

The Danish Foundation for Entrepreneurship is coordinator of the project ASTEE, which is about establishing a common European tool for measuring the entrepreneurial competences of pupils and students. The project ended in July 2014 and the partners are now working on a permanent electronically platform with evaluation tools. Find the new platform at: http://www.octoskills.com

About the assessment tools

The ASTEE project has developed a survey concept similar to the PISA survey which can measure young people’s attitude to skills in, and knowledge about, entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial competences are comprised by the “European Key Competence Framework for Lifelong Learning” and include, among others, sense of initiative, risk tolerance, the ability to discover opportunities, creativity, the ability to manage uncertainty, and planning skills.

The tools consist of questionnaires adapted to age level and to the three educational levels: primary school, upper secondary education, and higher education. The questionnaires have been developed on the basis of existing knowledge and validated studies and have been thoroughly tested at all educational levels and in 13 countries: Denmark, Sweden, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Austria, Ireland, United Kingdom, Croatia, Belgium, and Romania.

The tools can be used by the individual teacher to measure the effect of her/his teaching on pupils and students through pre- and post measurements. The results can be used for input for the advice and guidance of the pupil or student in the teaching or as input for the adjustment of the educational content or methods.

Moreover, decision makers in the educational sector can use the tools to make overall measurements on the local, national and European levels.

The project was co-financed by DG Enterprise at the European Commission, and partners represented 6 European countries and JA-YE Europe.

PRESENTATION AT ENTRENORD

During the EntreNord Conference from the 12. – 14. November 2014 ASTEE was introduced as a case by Christian Vintergaard.  The case presentation elaborated on why it is important to measure and evaluate on entrepreneurial learning goals.
