Abstract

Preparing juvenile for future careers in global market becomes one of the most important tasks in education today. This study attests the impact of role model and entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intention of Korean secondary school students. Total 217 students participated in this research from 11 different high schools across the country. The result suggests that the role model and entrepreneurship education have significant relationships with entrepreneurship as well as entrepreneurial intention of secondary school students. Entrepreneurship was also positively related with entrepreneurial intention of students. The findings imply that both the role model and entrepreneurship education are crucial elements to foster entrepreneurship as well as entrepreneurial intention of the secondary school students. Practical implications were presented to relevant authorities for takeaway in designing effective pedagogy.

글로벌시장의 등장에 발맞추어 청소년들의 미래 진로를 건실하게 준비시키는 것이 오늘날 교육의 하나의 중요한 과제가 되고 있다. 이러한 점에 비추어 본 연구는 한국의 고등학생들을 대상으로 역할 모델과 기업가정신 교육이 그들의 기업가정신 함양과 창업의도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 고찰하기 위하여 설계되었다. 전국에 걸쳐 11개의 고등학교에서 총 217명의 고등학생들이 본 연구에 참여하였으며 이들 학생들은 지난 3년간 (사)한국벤처기업협회에서 제공한 기업가정신 함양 프로그램에 한 번 이상 참가한 경험을 가지고 있다. 가설검증결과 역할모델과 기업가정신 교육은 모두 청소년들의 기업가정신 함양과 창업의도에 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 역할모델과 기업가 정신 교육에 의해 형성된 청소년들의 기업가정신은 그들의 창업의도와도 유의한 정(+)의 관계에 있음을 발견하였다. 본 연구결과는 단순한 기업가정신 교육뿐만 아니라 역할 모델을 통한 교육프로그램이 진로준비단계에 있는 청소년들의 기업가적 인식과 태도에 의미 있는 영향을 미친다는 것을 밝혔다는 점에서 시사하는 바가 크다 할 수 있다. 결론 부분에 본 연구의 이론적 시사점과 실무적 시사점을 제시하였으며 청소년들을 위해 좀 더 효율적인 기업가정신 교육 프로그램을 설계하기 위한 몇 가지 제언을 함께 제시해 두었다.
