Monitoring Enterprise Awareness in Initial Teacher Education Courses

Abstract

This paper, written in a questioning and speculative way, raises some of the issues concerned with introducing enterprise awareness into courses of initial teacher education. In particular it focuses on competency and recording student achievement. We propose a taxonomy of objectives for enterprise awareness which should be helpful to course designers engaged in constructing a profile of the enterprising student teacher. Reference is made briefly to functional stages in course design and to the interaction between knowledge and understanding, attitudes and skills.
