Abstract: Entrepreneurship education has boomed worldwide for the past 20 years, and methods of teaching entrepreneurship have evolved from the classical knowledge transmission model to a conscious education model that links individuals through active learning methods. As the role of teachers in entrepreneurship is moving to a posture of support and accompaniment in the absence of other professional training, this evolution raises the issue of how teachers of entrepreneurship can manage interactions during class. This topic of entrepreneurial education is significantly underinvestigated, as studies on the role and teaching methods of the entrepreneurship educator have only recently emerged. Considering that pedagogical innovations are contributing to this evolution and the multitude of studies realized in the field of entrepreneurship education, we led a systematic literature review (SLR) covering 1059 scientific documents from 1981 to 2022 indexed in Dimensions.ai, Web of Science (WoS), and Scopus to identify the current research trends linked to 10 active learning methods for entrepreneurship. Since it was more helpful and important to consider the entrepreneurship course as an ecosystem to better understand the interactions played within it, we completed the study inspired by ecological and biotic interaction theories that informed a new approach that highlights the importance of teachers developing social intelligence to build learner-centric environments.
