Journal of the International Society for Teacher Education, v22 n2 p6-14 2018
Lecturers in higher education in Norway are encouraged to take a researcher's attitude to their own teaching methods to determine what works best. This study looked at what environmental factors are successful criteria for further education courses. The research was based on information from three pedagogic entrepreneurship courses for Norwegian teachers run by the University of Agder in Lesvos, Greece. Questionnaires were sent to all participants. Four additional questions were published in the respective Facebook groups. The participants' evaluation made after each course and the use of their Facebook groups were also studied. The participants emphasized that environment, sharing of experiences, ample and dedicated time to work with the subject, engaged lecturers, and creative tasks were positive factors. The results indicate that the participants had received inspiration, knowledge, and tools to continue using entrepreneurship in their schools. They have created networks that have been very useful.
