We’re happy to share that WP2 Activity 1 Task 1 is now complete. This task was an important part of the “AI in Entrepreneurship Learning in Schools” project, which started on December 1, 2023. The goal was to understand how AI can be used to improve entrepreneurship education and make learning more engaging and effective.
Who Took Part?
To get a broad perspective, we gathered input from 253 participants across different groups:
149 high school students – those who will directly benefit from AI in education.
63 entrepreneurship teachers – responsible for applying AI tools in classrooms.
41 curriculum creators – key players in shaping the learning materials that will integrate AI.
By gathering insights from these groups, we aimed to understand their familiarity with AI, their thoughts on its role in education, and what they need to make it work.
Key Takeaways from the Survey
1. Students’ Perspective
Many students are familiar with AI, but only about half feel they understand it well.
Most are open to AI-driven learning tools, but practical applications in schools are still limited.
Students regularly use technology in education, but AI is not yet a major part of their learning experience.
2. Teachers’ Perspective
Teachers see AI’s potential in personalizing lessons and automating tasks like grading.
There are concerns about a lack of training and support for integrating AI into classrooms.
While many teachers are interested, they need more resources and guidance to use AI effectively.
3. Curriculum Creators’ Perspective
AI offers opportunities to make learning materials more interactive and adaptable.
The challenge is making sure AI-generated content aligns with quality education standards.
Collaboration between teachers, content developers, and AI specialists is key to creating useful materials.
Opportunities and Challenges of AI in Education
There are plenty of ways AI can improve entrepreneurship education:
Better access to information – AI tools can help students find relevant business and market insights quickly.
Personalized learning – AI can adapt lessons to individual students’ needs, making education more effective.
Interactive experiences – AI-powered simulations and gamified learning can make entrepreneurship more engaging.
Easier assessments – AI can help with grading and feedback, allowing teachers to focus on mentoring students.
But there are also some challenges:
Teachers need training – Without proper guidance, AI can feel overwhelming rather than helpful.
Tech access isn’t equal – Some schools lack the infrastructure needed for AI-powered learning.
Human connection matters – AI should support, not replace, real interactions between teachers and students.
What’s Next?
Now that WP2 Activity 1 Task 1 is complete, the next steps will focus on:
Developing AI-powered learning materials – Using what we’ve learned to create AI tools that support entrepreneurship education.
Training teachers – Helping educators build confidence in using AI in their classrooms.
Testing AI-driven learning models – Piloting AI tools in real educational settings to see what works best.
Encouraging collaboration – Bringing together educators, content developers, and AI experts to make sure the tools are useful and practical.
Looking Ahead
Wrapping up Task 1 is just the first step. The insights we’ve gathered will help shape the next stages of the project, ensuring that AI is introduced in a way that benefits both students and educators. As we move forward, we’ll focus on making AI practical, accessible, and genuinely useful for entrepreneurship education.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue this work.
