Abstract
Our paper presents a full experimentation of a new methodology designed for assessing the Entrepreneurship Teaching Programmes (ETP). The theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1991 and 2002) provides us a very useful framework to analyze and measure how an ETP could influence its participants regarding their entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions. We apply this framework to an experimentation consisting in a 3-daypedagogical process focusing on entrepreneurship with a sample of 275 French students following a Specialised Master in Management at a business school ranked among the top four in France. The results suggest that the ETP could have some strong positive effects for some students, depending on their background and initial perspectives on entrepreneurial intention. At the same time, the ETP could also actually decrease the level of entrepreneurial intention (counter-effects) for other students who have been yet exposed to entrepreneurship. Se presenta una medición completa de una nueva metodología diseñada para determinar los programas de enseñanza del espíritu emprendedor (ETP,por sus siglas en inglés). La teoría de la conducta prevista (Ajzen, 1991 y 2002) nos proporciona un marco muy útil para analizar y para medir cómo un ETP podría influenciar a sus participantes con respecto a sus actitudes e intenciones emprendedoras. Aplicamos esta herramienta a una muestra de 275 estudiantes franceses que cursan un master especializado en Dirección en una escuela de negocio que se sitúa entre las cuatro mejores en Francia y, que cursan un seminario de tres días centrado en el espíritu emprendedor. Los resultados sugieren que el ETP podría tener algunos efectos positivos importantes para algunos estudiantes, dependiendo de su conocimiento y perspectivas iniciales en la inteción emprendedora. Al mismo tiempo, el ETP podría también disminuir realmente el nivel de la inteción emprendedora (efecto-contrario) para otros estudiantes.
