Abstract:

The intended research focuses on generating a deeper knowledge about context-based impact factors in Entrepreneurship Education (EE) conducted as a short intervention and on explor-ing context-based effects on students’ learning outcomes. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and different disciplinary background of students – non-business and business students – will portray the scope of research; non-business students will be investigated in order to find fitting support approaches for them, as EE research focuses mainly on business students. Thus, a high potential of future entrepreneurs is often out of scope in the research field of EE right now. Apart from that, this paper presents a framework for further testing EE interven-tions in HEIs with the use of quasi-experimental design in the context of short interventions and a special consideration on affective learning outcomes – trying to optimize efficiency of EE interventions (as short interventions save costs and resources). In this vein, the study will have a contribution for affective learning outcomes investigations, focussing at the same time on possible moderator effects.
