Abstract

In recent years we are seeing a paradigm shift in which entrepreneurship has ceased to be an exclusive phenomenon of the business field to become a phenomenon that is expanding to other areas such as education. The entrepreneur teacher is characterized by being a creative, innovative, flexible person, capable of taking risks and guiding their practice towards educational improvement. In this research, it is hypothesized that having a high perception of importance, involvement and competence in educational research can contribute significantly to building entrepreneurial teachers’ competences , by providing them with enough knowledge and tools to guide their practice and allow them to make the best decisions. To test this hypothesis, 397 teachers took part in this study by filling in the Scale of Perception towards Educational Research and the Scale of entrepreneurial competencies. Findings from a moderation analysis revealed a series of potential benefits for both non-university and university teachers. Specifically, it was appreciated how having a higher involvement with educational research and having a greater competence in educational research contributed to improving the self-efficacy and proactivity; and the ability to facing risks and difficulties; both, dimensions related to teaching entrepreneurship.
