Entrepreneurial Learning and School Improvement – A Swedish Case

Entrepreneurial learning has become a concern for schools almost all over the world. This article aims to investigate what characterizes education in lower and upper secondary schools that claim to be working to a high or low degree with entrepreneurial learning and what implications this might have for different teaching methods. The results, measured at the end of the first year of a three-year school im-provement program, show that schools with a high degree of entrepreneurial learning cooperate more with the local community, read more pedagogical literature and have changed their rhetoric to a higher degree than schools with a low degree of entrepreneurial learning. The results also indicate that teaching methods involving the local community have positive effects on pupils’ learning.
