O ensino do empreendedorismo na formação contábil: um estudo aplicado no curso de ciências contábeis de uma universidade federal

Abstract

This present study investigates the theme "Entrepreneurship education in accounting training: a case study applied to the Accounting Sciences course at a Federal University." The study aims to analyze entrepreneurial education in the mentioned course, evaluating the theoretical and practical incentives offered to students and their perceptions of the importance of entrepreneurship in their education. The research was conducted through a questionnaire with 21 multiple-choice questions and a Likert scale. In total, 155 participants were involved, predominantly young individuals up to 23 years old. The majority of participants were in the first four periods of the course. Regarding the results, most students disagree that the Accounting Sciences course at the university can effectively teach entrepreneurship in theory and practice, and only 20% of the sample claimed to know how to create a business plan. In conclusion, the findings of this research indicate the need to improve entrepreneurship education in the Accounting Sciences course of the institution, especially by focusing on practical incentives, such as project development and business plan elaboration. This education can contribute to preparing future accountants to face the challenges of the job market in a more entrepreneurial and innovative manner.
