Development of a data warehouse for the assessment of entrepreneurship education
针对创业教育评估中方法论和过程性挑战,提出构建数据仓库的框架,并以英国某大学创业中心为案例,展示开发与实施过程,为创业教育者提供更稳健的评估数据。
Measuring the success of entrepreneurship education is complex and involves several considerations. This measurement problem is often framed as conceptual in practice, rooted in identifying and applying an optimum metric demonstrating entrepreneurship, but underpinning this are methodological and processual challenges which limit the legitimacy of much evaluation. In this article, a data warehouse is proposed as a means of addressing such challenges and developing more robust data on the value of entrepreneurship education. Using a case study of a long-running Entrepreneurship Centre in a high-profile UK university, the article proposes a framework for developing an effective data warehouse, alongside discussion of the process followed in development and implementation. The article offers a novel approach to addressing an enduring problem and challenge faced by entrepreneurship educators through proposing a unique methodology for measurement not previously discussed in entrepreneurship education.
