Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in entrepreneurial education among students, emphasizing the significance of an entrepreneurial mindset. Introducing the EnteComp framework in 2016 has provided a standardized approach for evaluating interdisciplinary competences in students. This study aims to address this issue by examining the optimal utilization and integration of the EntreComp framework in the educational practices of Delft Center for Entrepreneurship (DCE). By conducting a comprehensive literature review and analyzing data from a large-scale survey involving 119 questions among DCE students, the research investigates the most effective methods for measuring the development of entrepreneurship competences among students. The findings indicate EntreComp offers a shared language and a holistic approach for assessing entrepreneurial competences. The analysis also reveals a lack of consensus and practical implementation in utilizing the EntreComp framework. Therefore, it is crucial to focus on the longitudinal development of EntreComp competencies over time and to employ various survey types and statistical tests to make the use of EntreComp more common.
