A presente investigaĆ§Ć£o tem como objetivo fundamental analisar e avaliar o impacto
produzido pela implementaĆ§Ć£o, junto de jovens do ensino secundĆ”rio, de um programa
de promoĆ§Ć£o de competĆŖncias empreendedoras desenvolvido em contexto escolar ā
programa āEmpreendedorismo e capacitaĆ§Ć£o de jovensā ā, nomeadamente no que
concerne Ć s dimensƵes de literacia empreendedora e da construĆ§Ć£o de significados
acerca do empreendedorismo.
No estudo participaram 346 jovens do ensino secundƔrio, integrados em turmas do
10Āŗano, de ensino regular e profissional, de quatro escolas do Distrito do Porto. Foi
utilizada uma metodologia quasi-experimental, com grupo experimental e grupo de
controlo, avaliados antes e depois da implementaĆ§Ć£o do programa.
Os resultados revelam que a aplicaĆ§Ć£o do programa tem efeitos muito significativos no
nĆvel de literacia empreendedora dos jovens, atuando o mesmo tambĆ©m ao nĆvel da
construĆ§Ć£o de significados do empreendedorismo mais elaborados e associados a
caraterĆsticas pessoais e sociais. Destaca-se ainda a existĆŖncia de diferenƧas
significativas entre a literacia empreendedora dos jovens e a gestĆ£o de um negĆ³cio por
parte dos pais, no prĆ©-teste, e o gĆ©nero e a existĆŖncia de conta bancĆ”ria, no pĆ³s-teste.
As principais conclusƵes deste estudo remetem-nos para a identificaĆ§Ć£o de um novo
conceito, a literacia empreendedora, o qual serĆ” importante incluir em programas
futuros de empreendedorismo em contexto escolar. Por outro lado, salienta-se a
relevĆ¢ncia da replicaĆ§Ć£o deste tipo de programas em contexto escolar para permitir aos
jovens desenvolverem competĆŖncias e, acima de tudo, uma verdadeira atitude
empreendedora na sociedade atual, garantindo, desta forma, uma melhor adaptaĆ§Ć£o e
integraĆ§Ć£o na mesma.
This research aims at analyzing and evaluating the impact of implementing, among secondary school students, a program to promote entrepreneurial skills developed in school context - āEmpreendedorismo e capacitaĆ§Ć£o de jovensā - particularly in relation to the dimensions of entrepreneurial literacy and the construction of meanings about entrepreneurship. The study involved 346 secondary school students who were attending the 10th form of regular and professional education in four schools in the district of Porto. It was used a quasi-experimental methodology, and both the experimental group and the control group, were assessed before and after the implementation of the program. The results show that the implementation of the program has many significant effects on the level of the entrepreneurial literacy of these young students, acting at the same time at the level of construction of the meaning of entrepreneurship, making it more elaborated and associated to personal and social characteristics. In the pre-test we realized that in what concerns the entrepreneurial literacy there were significant differences between those students whose parents run a business and those who donāt and in the pos-test we realized that there were differences between boys and girls and those who have a bank account of their own and those who havenāt. The main conclusions of this study lead us to the identification of a new concept, the entrepreneurial literacy, which should be included in future programs of entrepreneurship in schools. On the other hand, we stress the importance of replication of these programs in schools in order to enable young people to develop skills and, above all, a true entrepreneurial attitude in today's society, ensuring, thus, a better adaptation and integration.
