“Desarrollo de competencias emprendedoras en la educación secundaria y su incidencia en la autonomía y creatividad en los estudiantes de décimo año de la Unidad Educativa Agoyán del cantón la Joya de los Sachas, durante el periodo lectivo 2024-2025”

Abstract

This article reports on how the development of entrepreneurial skills affects the autonomy and creativity of tenth grade students of the Agoyán Educational Unit, in La Joya de los Sachas, during the 2024-2025 school year. Based on a mixed approach, surveys were applied to students and interviews were conducted with teachers and educational authorities. The results show that, although there is a positive vision of entrepreneurship -both for students and teachers- its application in the classroom is limited by the predominant use of traditional methodologies. In the part of the study, deficiencies are detected in infrastructure; little linkage of the educational task with the productive environment and the need for continuous teacher training. These dimensions limit the development of creativity and autonomy of the students. The results indicate the need and possibility of transforming teaching practices through active methodologies for the development of an entrepreneurial culture in secondary schools, as well as the creation of institutional strategies that promote entrepreneurship.
