모의 창업 실습을 활용한 중학교 기업가 정신 수업 사례 연구

This paper introduces an actual class case using mock start-up practice. The researcher tried to explore the meaning and possibility of mock start-up practice as a teaching method for middle school entrepreneurship classes. For the study, 85 third-year middle school students in Seoul participated for a semester. The practice consisted of seven stages, including the preparation of a business proposal(step1), the preparation of a detailed business plan with a budget plan(step2), the selection of business items through peer evaluation(step3), division of work through class meetings(step4), sales preparation(step5), sales(step6), and evaluation through surveys and individual interviews(step7). Entrepreneurship was defined as “entrepreneurial behavior” related to three categories: start-up, maintenance, and innovation. The purpose of this study was to find the meaning and possibility of mock start-up practice by observing the entrepreneurial behavior performed by students, and participatory observations, surveys, and interviews were used. As a result, entrepreneurial behavior closer to 'maintenance' was observed in the sales preparation stage(step5), and behavior closer to 'innovation' was observed in the actual sales stage in the process of competing with other classes for sales performance(step6). The researcher proposes a five-step instructional model.
