Abstract:

In English:
This paper describes the implementation of a new teaching technique called: “Entrepreneurship-based Learning (ABE)” within the framework of an Educational Model of Active Learning. The ABE is an enriched didactic technique, both for students and for society, to focus their efforts on solving a real problem, and serve as a starting point for a group of students to understand and practice all that entails for becoming an entrepreneur . The ABE is without a doubt a transcendental teaching technique, since it develops new forms of capitalizing knowledge and experience, and in turn generates transferable knowledge that can be replicated in other educational settings.

En el presente artículo se describe la aplicación de una nueva técnica didáctica denominada: “Aprendizaje Basado en el Emprendimiento (ABE)” dentro del marco de un Modelo Educativo de Aprendizaje Activo. El ABE resulta una técnica didáctica enriquecedora, tanto para los estudiantes como para la sociedad, al enfocar sus esfuerzos en resolver un problema real, y servir como punto de partida para que un grupo de estudiantes comprendan y practiquen todo lo que conlleva convertirse en un emprendedor. El ABE es sin lugar a duda una técnica didáctica trascendental, ya que desarrollada formas de capitalización del conocimiento y la experiencia, y genera a su vez conocimiento transferible que puede replicarse en otros entornos educativos.
