Teaching methods

Oppimismenetelmät
- projektioppiminen
- ryhmäkeskustelut ja vertaisoppiminen
- itsereflektio

Opiskeluusi opintojaksolla sisältyy tiimityöskentelyä, itsenäistä työskentelyä ja mahdollisuuksien mukaan myös asiantuntijaluentoja. Keskeisin osa oppimista on sinun oma toimintasi ja sen itsearviointi. Yhteisiin tapaamisiin, kuten luennot ja ryhmätyöskentely, tulet aina valmistautuneena.

Opintojakso tukee sellaista oppimiskulttuuria, missä opit yksilönä ja ryhmissä kohtaamaan ja käsittelemään ohjaajien tuella epävarmuutta ja epäonnistumista sekä vahvistamaan riskinottamista, uskallusta ja päätöksentekokykyä sekä valmiutta viedä asiat käytäntöön ja tavoitteellisesti päätökseen. Työskentelet pienryhmässä, jossa synnytätte liikeidean. Arvioitte idean liiketoimintapotentiaalia ja asiakasarvoa.

Opiskelussa ja mahdollisuuksien mukaan myös opetuksessa tehdään yhteistyötä alueen yritysten ja yrittäjyyskumppaneiden/-verkostojen kanssa.
