Abstract

Entrepreneurship has become a global phenomenon and there has been significant growth in entrepreneurial education in Higher Education Institutions to support this trend. Consequently, research in entrepreneurial education has developed rapidly. Extant research in entrepreneurial education has predominantly focused on module/ programme content and pedagogy, learning and outcomes, and entrepreneurial intention. Less emphasis has been placed on exploring the perspective of the educator in the learning process, despite their important role. Contemporary research suggests teaching portfolios maybe a useful tool to gain insight from the educator perspective and enhance learning in higher education. Despite such developments, the influence of teaching portfolios in entrepreneurial education remains underexplored. Through an autoethnographic inquiry, this paper tracks the development of an entrepreneurial educator’s teaching portfolio, exploring the influence of the portfolio on pedagogic practice. As an original contribution to knowledge, the paper extends existing pedagogical competence frameworks in the context of entrepreneurial education, bridging the gap between education theory and entrepreneurial education practice.
