Transferability as a key to impactful entrepreneurship education outcomes: a new quest

Christoph Winkler, Tobias Jenert and Alexander Fust

Chapter 5 in Annals of Entrepreneurship Education and Pedagogy - 2025, 2025, pp 93-105 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter proposes a careful re-examination of our dominant approach in entrepreneurship education by prioritizing transferability over generalizability. The authors argue that by centering transferability in entrepreneurship education research, we may add an essential building block for bridging the theory and practice divide. The chapter outlines this opportunity for the field by drawing on Bandura’s social cognitive theory and examining how this approach will advance the field of entrepreneurship education. By gaining a better understanding of the unique needs that each learner has, the field may be in a much stronger position to pay closer attention to the complex contextual circumstances and environments in which learners learn and act entrepreneurially. The chapter concludes with a call to action on how entrepreneurship education research findings transfer from one context to another and how learners shape their learning contexts based on their idiosyncratic participation in their learning experience.
