Principles and practices of entrepreneurship

a new paradigm in education and psychopedagogy

Abstract

This article points out some principles that can arise from everyday educational practices, in order to develop an entrepreneurial attitude in everybody who is part of school community. It presents an innovative proposal that is being carried out by Israelita School, Brazilian Small and Middle-sized Business Development Service (SEBRAE) and Brazilian Psychopedagogy Association - Rio Grande do Sul Branch (ABPp-RS). Psychopedagogy deals with learning processes and their different forms of acquisition and manifestation. Thus, it can contribute to the understanding of the singularity of each subject involved in this process, taking into consideration his or her attitudes, abilities and skills. The big challenge of Psychopedagogy in this case is to work out the proposal that seeks to develop the entrepreneurship, characteristics of the school-enterprise and diversity of subjects, as well as to put into effect their real projects that also involve social responsibility.
