Abstract: In this paper, we take our point of departure in the research project 'Entrepreneurship Education 2007' (EDU07), which focused on the earlier stages of the educational system as well as on what teachers do when they do entrepreneurship education. More specifically, the purpose here is to discuss the method – focus group interviews – applied in this research project and in what way it can, without putting words in the mouths of the respondents, answer the question: What is really being taught in entrepreneurship education? In addition to providing researchers with the research result, it is argued that focus-group interviews work as an arena for reflection and action.

Keywords: entrepreneurship education; focus group interviews; effectuation; entrepreneurship dilemmas; broadening entrepreneurship; arena for reflection; teaching. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
