Problem based learning in entrepreneurship education: opportunities and challenges

Abstract

This article aims to explore the use of Problem-based Learning (PBL) in entrepreneurship education. The Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova (ASEM) is a partner of the project “Introducing Problem Based Learning in Moldova: Toward Enhancing Students` Competitiveness and Employability” (PBLMD), funded by the European Union as a part of the Erasmus + program. One of the goals of this project is to redesign partially or even entirely the syllabus of BSc in Business Administration at ASEM, using PBL and other new student-centred teaching and learning techniques. An analysis of international experiences allowed determining the opportunities and challenges that can be encountered by students, lecturers or university during the implementation of PBL.
