Entrepreneurially Minded Learning is…

A pedagogical method Part mindset part skillset Student centered - for everyone

NOT the entire solution for good teaching NOT a prescriptive sequence of steps or checklist

Entrepreneurially Minded Learning is…

NOT new, especially in other disciplines NOT easy for learners or instructors

Entrepreneurially Minded Learning is…

EML emphasizes… entrepreneurial thinking; 3C’s

-curiosity engaged discovery divergent epistemic trends

-connections contextual extra-contextual insight

-creating value

Others-oriented

opportunity recognition Action and Adaptation

- look toward the future - ownership

- assumed risk and reward - success despite variability and uncertainty

EML does not have exclusive rights to 3C’s!

Is a simple topic, like flashlights, college worthy? Yes, actually.

Active and Collaborative Learning Measure voltage, current

Measuring the resistance of the bulb

Try some experiments with batteries - “dead” batteries - end-to-end

“Stack” batteries with other groups to sup-up flashlight

Problem-based Learning #1 We need twice as much light for a maximum 10% design cost and manufacture increase. Need similar size and weight design.

Problem-based Learning #2Current battery-powered flashlights are insufficient or cumbersome for search and rescue operations.

(closer to EML)

Focus on Information Gaps

- Identify deficiencies of your model - Is the case is a “wire” in the model? - Are there unaccounted losses?

- Contacts? - How significant?

- What is dynamic filament resistance? - What are the source limitations?

- output resistance - electrochemical

EML emphasizes CURIOSITY

Focus on Curiosity Types

- Epistemic curiosity — Why, why, why? - Why is the cell voltage typically 1.5V? - Why are the batteries this size and weight? - What underlies the limits of the electrochemistry and battery design? - What is the efficiency (power into light vs. heat)?

- Diversive curiosity — What if ? Could we ? - What actually happens if the batteries are reversed or back to back?

- Extra contextual: What if I plugged to 9V batteries together? - What are alternate sources? - What are alternative light sources? - Is there an electrochemical reaction that produces light directly?

EML emphasizes CURIOSITY

Focus on Trends

Trends reflect the “changing world around us.”

Does anyone really buy a flashlight (or just use a phone)?

EML emphasizes CURIOSITY

Problem-based Learning -> EML #3

Who purchases flashlights, anyway?

Everyone has a cell phone with an LED feature. What more does the average user need?
