EFECTOS DE LA PEDAGOGÍA EMPRENDEDORA EN EL PRIMER TRIMESTRE EN EL AÑO LECTIVO 2024-2025 EN LOS ESTUDIANTES DE 7MO DE EDUCACIÓN BÁSICA MEDIA EN LA UNIDAD EDUCATIVA ANA LUISA LEORO DEL CANTÓN IBARRA

Abstract

This project investigates the influence of entrepreneurial pedagogy on student proactivity and empowerment in seventh-grade students of middle basic education at the Ana Luisa Leoro Educational Unit in the city of Ibarra, during the first trimester of the 2024-2025 school year. Through a mixed approach, variables such as proactivity, leadership, problem solving, and self-esteem were evaluated through questionnaires applied to a sample of 80 students. The results reflect that, although entrepreneurial pedagogy has the potential to foster key competencies, its implementation faces significant barriers, such as lack of teacher training, limited resources, and socioeconomic inequalities. These limitations hinder the development of essential skills in students, negatively impacting their participation and academic performance. It is concluded that entrepreneurial pedagogy can positively transform the educational environment by strengthening competencies such as critical thinking and leadership, as long as strategies are adjusted to the needs of the context. It is recommended to implement teacher training programs, promote inclusive environments, and conduct longitudinal research to evaluate the sustainability of these methodologies.
