Abstract
Difficulties in identifying the quality of students’ self-reflective practice can come forth from students who know about self-reflection because they have been informed about it but who do not intentionally use it to improve how they learn. The aim of this study was to explore and describe the construct of self-induced self-reflective thinking. Forty-one 11th-grade high-school students filled in open-ended questions regarding self-reflecting thinking. Qualitative analyses indicated that the construct was characterised as including an understanding that goes beyond a learned reaction in terms of providing a description of the process of self-reflective thinking. Consequences for reflective practice are discussed.

Abstract
Which learning approaches, pedagogical methods and teaching tools can educators at higher education institutions use to teach sustainable entrepreneurship? Sustainable entrepreneurship education combines those aspects from entrepreneurship and sustainability education to teach students the skills and competences needed to contribute to a sustainable society by acting entrepreneurially. Although there is consensus that these skills and competences are crucial to have, how they are taught is still debated.
Using a review of the literature and interviews with practitioners and educators, this report offers an overview and discussion of 13 learning approaches, 15 pedagogical methods and 24 teaching tools for sustainable entrepreneurship education. The identified methods and tools are further divided into categories regarding their usage in business and higher education, making this report an inspirational hands-on toolkit for educators.

Entrepreneurial Mindset Shift and the Role of Cycles of Learning
Article by Matthew P. Lynch and Andrew C. Corbett
Associated researchers at SFU engage
Abstract
This article describes how the entrepreneurial mindset is comprised of two predominant orientations, one toward finding and selecting potential solutions, the other focused on implementation and execution of these solutions. We explore this duality of the entrepreneurial mindset and note its role in moving forward the field’s understanding of this elusive concept. Specifically, we argue that entrepreneurs cycle between these two orientations in order to learn about their nascent opportunity and to continue to move it forward. Our work addresses prior theoretical inconsistencies and highlights implications for future research, measurement, and pedagogical approaches.

The development of effective new venture teams in venture creation programs
Article by Iselin Mauseth Steira and
Marianne Steinmo
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore how effective new venture teams are developed in venture creation programs.
Design/methodology/approach: This paper presents a multiple case study focusing on the development of effective new venture teams. Semi-structured interviews with 15 new venture teams from two different venture creation programmes were conducted and an abductive analysis approach was used.
Findings: Three key phases of the development of an effective new venture team are identified: (1) establishing a foundation for collaboration, (2) structuring the teamwork and (3) adapting to changes. Key activities undertaken by effective new venture teams in each phase are explicated. The findings suggest that new venture teams that are able to establish a foundation for team collaboration and teamwork structuring have the capacity to persevere through the challenges inherent in emerging ventures.
Originality/value: This study offers a much-needed practical perspective about how effective new venture teams are developed in venture creation programmes, and how venture creation programme educators can facilitate the development of effective new venture teams. For educators, these findings provide important insights about team-based learning in entrepreneurship education.

Entrepreneurial Nurses in the Literature: A Systematic Literature Review
Article by Gunn-Berit Neergård,
PhD Candidate, NTNU
Abstract
This study explores the main characteristics of entrepreneurial nursing. Background: Nurses have acted entrepreneurially in a multitude of ways since the very beginning of the nursing profession. Still, it is unclear what it means for a nurse to be entrepreneurial. Entrepreneurial nurses are often described inconsistently, by non‐inclusive terms not founded in research. There is a need to examine the essence of entrepreneurial nursing roles. Evaluation: I conducted the research as a systematic literature review of 647 documents. Analysing empirical descriptions of entrepreneurial nurses’ employment status, contexts, knowledge, activities, barriers and motivations led to the description of two entrepreneurial nursing roles.
Key issues: The employment status of entrepreneurial nurses represent an important difference in their activities, challenges and motivations. Conclusions: Entrepreneurial nurses may act as nurse entrepreneurs or nurse intrapreneurs. These roles are empirically rooted in the field of nursing, and theoretically rooted in the field of entrepreneurship. Implications for Nursing Management: Entrepreneurial nurses are influenced by the support they get and the challenges they face in the healthcare system. Knowing the characteristics of entrepreneurial nurses are important for nurse managers, as they lead employees who may become nurse entrepreneurs or nurse intrapreneurs.
