 Authentic competence-based learning in university education in entrepreneurshipJan Nab, Albert Pilot, Sjaak Brinkkemper and Hanne Ten Berge International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, 2010, vol. 9, issue 1, 20-35 Abstract: In this paper we present the concept of authentic learning as an integrated part of competence-based learning in entrepreneurship education, focusing on the relevance of this conceptual framework for education in entrepreneurship. The study aims to verify a set of design principles for entrepreneurship education for science students at the university level, based on the theory of authentic learning. The design principles of authentic learning, which are presented in this paper, are deduced from an initial design of a course in entrepreneurship in ICT at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The outcomes of this course were evaluated in starting ventures, learning effects and perception of students. Based on the evaluation results, the design principles were adjusted and new principles were added. Design principles can help in describing interventions in education in entrepreneurship in forthcoming studies.
