ABSTRACT

This empirical paper aims to evidence transformative learning outcomes that have occurred in the domain of enterprise/entrepreneurship education. The deep learning processes of the Team Academy approach used at Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, UK, has its origins in the Tiimiakatemia model created in 1993 by Johannes Partanen in Jyväskylä, Finland. This applied model of entrepreneurship education has self-determined (or heutagogical) learning at its core, along with a strong focus on collaborative action and shared jeopardy. Fundamental to this model is the use of coaching as the delivery mechanism, putting the Team Entrepreneurs (students) in charge of their knowledge and skills acquisition in order to facilitate their own experiential learning process.
