Abstract

This paper is a conceptual paper that develops a framework for how to provide an entrepreneurial learning environment in higher education. The framework is based on Vygotsky’s pedagogics and Polyani’s concept ”tacit knowing”. The teacher will instruct the students on how to do ”things”, getting experience of how to do things they cannot yet do, proposing methods how to externalise and reflect on the tacit knowing, in order to acquire a reflected externalised knowledge.
