About the Program

Originalmente patrocinado por el Banco de Chile desde 2011, Babson College ofrece un Simposio anual para Educadores de Emprendimiento (Symposium for Entrepreneurship Educators) a un selecto grupo de educadores de universidades de todo Chile, ahora en colaboración con Fundación Luksic Scholars. El programa es un simposio de inmersión, en el que los docentes descubrirán por qué el cómo se enseña es tan relevante como el qué se enseña.

El objetivo de este programa es fomentar el crecimiento de algunas industrias y el desarrollo económico en Chile a través de la educación sobre el emprendimiento. Babson busca desarrollar una red internacional cada vez mayor de educadores innovadores en emprendimiento, que comprendan la importancia de crear una conexión intelectual y práctica entre la teoría y la práctica en la enseñanza.

Cada año, más de 40 profesores participan en este programa que abarca temas como:

  • Temas de proceso: Enseñanza metodológica de casos, Gestión de los Desafíos en el Aula, Diseño del Plan de Estudios y del Curso, Pedagogías de Aprendizaje Experiencial y de Acción, Enseñanza Basada en la Inmersión, Evaluación y Aseguramiento del Aprendizaje.
  • Temas de contenido: Pensamiento y acción empresarial, Autocomprensión del pensamiento y la acción empresarial, Pensamiento de diseño, Pruebas de mercado y experimentación, El presente y el futuro de la educación empresarial, El arte del lanzamiento, Iteración y aprendizaje del fracaso, Enseñanza del espíritu empresarial a diferentes públicos.

Sesión informativa: En colaboración con Babson College, la Fundación Luksic Scholars organizó una sesión informativa que se llevó a cabo el 04 de abril de 2023. El evento consistió en una presentación de Babson College, seguida por algunas palabras de un Luksic Scholar sobre su experiencia en el programa.
