Teachers’ Evaluation of Enterprise Education in the Secondary School

This investigation was undertaken as part of research into ‘mini-enterprise’ activity in the secondary school. The research aimed to evaluate ‘mini-enterprise’ as an approach to learning and to offer different examples in practice. Fundamental to this evaluation was an examination of the views and attitudes of teachers towards ‘mini-enterprise’ work. This paper describes the survey undertaken to determine teachers’ attitudes towards certain key ‘enterprise’ issues and offers a summary of the research findings concluding in a discussion of the wider educational implications.
