Abstract

This work presents the preliminary results of a training-research project carried out in the framework of an extracurricular training
course addressed to third and fourth-year secondary school students and dedicated to the development of entrepreneurial skills. In line with EntreComp, the Entrepreneurship Competence Framework (Bacigalupo et al., 2016), the word self-development is not meant as business creation, but as the development of skills related to self-development, creativity and innovation, wich are relevant in many areas of a person’s life. The training course at the heart of this research work has been carried out by a foundation that promotes the dissemination of knowledge with a view to sustainable and creative innovation development, to respond to the future challenges of our societies. The research work derived from the need, expressed by the foundation, to revise the training curriculum itself, in order to give greater importance to transversal competences and identify or build tools and procedures to perform appropriate diagnostic, formative and summative assessment processes, with the consequent impact on educational methods and tools. The research work is based on the Training-Research model (Asquini, 2018), following the need to revise the curriculum and develop an assessment scheme which could help tutors and teachers to develop a teaching plan aimed at developing transversal skills that are fundamental for entrepreneurship.
