This document summarizes interviews conducted with 30 academic staff members at Sheffield Hallam University regarding enterprise education and its integration into the curriculum. Key findings included that staff felt there needed to be clearer definitions of enterprise education provided by the university. Staff also noted challenges embedding enterprise due to constraints on curriculum design and initiatives being mandated without support. However, staff recognized the importance of developing enterprising skills in students to improve employability, though acknowledged this may look different across subjects. The researchers concluded staff would benefit from more support and examples of good practice to help adapt their teaching to be more enterprising.

The “Creative Thinking for the 21st Century” presentation, given at the AFACCT Conference in January 2015, examined how educators can embed 21st century skills into their teaching curriculum. The goal was to show that by using innovative teaching and learning processes students gain skills in collaboration and team building, enhanced communication through presentation, and applied analysis of information. Teaching and learning strategies to engage students to think differently about their own learning and to move beyond critical thinking to creative thinking was emphasized.
“The aim of this session is to enhance your reflection in preparation for the assignment by sharing your evaluations and responding to others. You will present your three extended, reflective lesson evaluations, focusing on your pedagogical issue or question and making explicit links to theory and research. You should draw on a wide range of reading that will reflect your knowledge and understanding of the curriculum area, of teaching and learning issues and of reflective practice.”

Technology, learning and identity: rethinking ePortfolios for Arts students’...ePortfolios Australia
This faciliated conversation explores Arts students’ responses to using ePortfolio for enhancing their learning acorss a range of degree programs at four universities in Australia. This multi modal approach to data collection is the result of the recent outcomes of on an OLT funded project that aimed to introduce ePortfolios to students undertaking degree programs in the creative and performing arts. The project to date has identified that knowledge management is a key factor for students as they progress through the process of ePortfolio development. The project’s outcomes are to provide tertiary students from the Performing and Creative Arts with skills to create an ePortfolio to document their academic and artistic outcomes for future employment and enhanced employability in the arts sector. What has appeared is that the artisitc identity of the students is forming through the process of reflection “on” and “in” their various degree programs’ discreet subjects.

This Quality Assurance Agency (QAA)-funded research project explored the views of students entering higher education in the four countries of the UK in 2012-13 and those entering in earlier years, to investigate their perceptions and expectations of the quality of their learning experience and the academic standards of their chosen programmes of study. This project provides illustrative examples of the issues affecting student perceptions and expectations regarding quality and standards in the first year of a funding model in England that is significantly different both to that in existence in previous years and to that operated in the other countries of the UK. Research consisted of conducting interviews and focus groups with over 150 students (primarily Years 1 and 2) at 16 institutional locations, across a range of mission groups, institutional types and UK-wide geographical location. Concept maps of students’ higher education experience were collected along with transcripts of interviews.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
1. Embedding Enterprise in the
Curriculum - the Staff
Perspective
Kirsty Grant and Katie Hook, Student
Researchers
Sheila Quairney, Enterprise Centre
2. What is Enterprise in the Curriculum?
• An approach to learning, not a subject in itself
• The application of creative ideas and innovation to practical situations
• A generic concept that can be applied across all areas of education
• Combines creativity, ideas development and problem solving with
expression, communication and practical action
• Does not necessarily refer to creating a project or business venture
• Produces graduates with the mindset and skills to come up with original
ideas in response to identified needs and shortfalls, and the ability to act
on them
• Includes taking the initiative, intuitive decision making, making things
happen, networking, identifying opportunities, creative problem solving,
strategic thinking, and personal effectiveness
• Enterprise education extends beyond knowledge acquisition to a wide
range of emotional, intellectual, social, and practical skills
3. Why do Enterprising Skills Matter?
• 'The labour market requires graduates with enhanced skills who can think on their
feet and be innovative in a global economic environment' (The Quality Assurance
Agency for Higher Education (QAA), April 2012)
• 'Universities should reflect on the strategies they use to ensure that students have
the opportunity to develop enterprise skills both through the formal curriculum
and through optional study or practice, and reflect on the integration of enterprise
education in the professional development programmes for academic staff'
(Review of Business–University Collaboration :Professor Sir Tim Wilson DL)
• 'We must not lose sight of the talent universities are really put on earth to deliver.
They must provide us with people with the ability to continually learn, to think
critically and theoretically, to be reflective and reflexive, to innovate and break
the status quo, and to navigate in the unstable waters of the global economy.' Dr
David Docherty, chief executive of the Council for Industry and Higher Education
4. Research Aims
1) To ascertain what involvement staff, at Sheffield
Hallam University, perceive they should have in
sharing notions of enterprise with their students
2) To explore the perspectives of academic staff on
how enterprise might be developed in the
curriculum to support employability
5. Methodology
• Convenience sample of lecturers, across faculties
• Participation was voluntary and responses anonymised
• Exploratory qualitative approach
• 30 semi-structured interviews conducted lasting between
20-30 minutes
• Thematic analysis of data
7. Results
• Participants N = 30
• All active permanent teaching staff (years teaching
M = 9.8, SD=8.8)
• 40% (n=12) in faculty of SBS, similar responses
between D&S, ACES and H&WB
• 46.7% (n=14) of staff previous role had been in
the private sector with the rest split between
academic and public sector roles
8. Preliminary Findings
1) Defining enterprise education
2) Embedding enterprise
3) Influence of staff background
4) Importance of students' real-life experience
5) One size doesn’t fit all
6) Initiative Overload
9. Defining Enterprise Education?
"I think it would be good to
know what the university meant
by enterprise in reality rather
than the definition…still giving
academics the freedom to make
it more relevant to their subject"
“It’s employability we talk
about and that’s what the
university talks about . . .
They don’t talk about
enterprise.”
10. Embedding Enterprise
"I think the barrier could
be just that something
else has to go so that the “It should be embedded

constrained to the depending on what the
objectives of that degree discipline is and

can actually fit in"
11. Influence of Staff Background

have when you pretend
to prepare people to
become professionals "We might understand
out there in the the theory but do we

environment? "
12. Importance of Students' Real-Life
Experience
“Standing up and

13. One Size Doesn’t Fit All
For the students, "one “You can’t give them

about giving people tenacity and the
the chance to think determination . . . You

14. Initiative Overload
"There's a three

“There seems to be thunderbolt like 'thou shalt
do this' rather than saying

what’s on offer.”
15. Challenges during the Project
• Recruitment of participants
• Time Scale
• Finding mutually convenient dates to meet
• Capitalising on the vast range of ideas
emerging
16. Learning and Recommendations
• Staff could see the value of teaching
enterprising skills to increase students’
employability but clarification over
terminology is needed
• Staff would benefit from support from the
university to develop a clearer picture of how
they can adapt their subject expertise to be
delivered in a more enterprising way
17. Learning and Recommendations
• Staff felt frustrated at the volume and delivery
of new initiatives. Examples of good practice
should be celebrated and shared amongst
staff and across faculties to facilitate shared
learning.
18. So what now?
• Continue the thematic analysis
• Disseminate a short report
• Publication for a peer reviewed journal
• Findings to be included as part of the background
to forthcoming enterprise centre review
Recruitment - sent out emails to those involved with enterprise centre, venture matrix, emailed to subscribers of Sheffield HallamsSeejot, sent out as part of the eview, sent to the employability forum, 'A theme captures something important about the data in relation to the research question and represents some level of patterned response ormeaning withBraun and Clarke’s ‘guide’ to the 6 phases of conducting thematic analysis1.

Using thematic analysis in psychology. Qualitative Research in Psychology, 3: 77-101.ta set.’ Braun and Clarke, 2006, p.82.Initially we began looking over transcripts together to begin to identify themes, we then coded all of our individual transcripts before coming together to review and search for themes. The themes identified here are a result of the prelimary themes, these will be reviewing and defined again before the final report is produced. Could say we initially looked at the codes that had been referenced most, then the codes that had appeared in the most sources.
Sense that enterprise education and employability were the same thing - staff tended to focus on the more practical applications of skill such as starting up your own business and writing a CV when they talked about how they delivered enterprise education. Few staff had heard of being intraprenuial…there was a sense that enterprise was linked solely with business and financial gains, connected to the private sector. Staff commented on their confusion over what the university expected in terms of employability and enterprise - these definitions overlapped. - staff didn’t understand the difference of what enterprise was in comparision to employability-staff see it as business and finance and therefore cant see how it fits with their teaching-staff see skills such as CV writing and interview skills as enterprise-SBS staff predominately thought they were doing it anyway……..
Desire for it be embedded, but not recognising that it doesn’t necessarily a module its self. Do staff recognise that they can teach in a more enterprising way? Lots of comments on moving something away from the curriculum inorder to put enterprise in - very few people talked about teaching in a more enterprising way. Seeing enterprise as a separate entity Staff tended to view enterprise as an additional module rather than seeing how they could adapt their current practice in order to teach it in a more enterprising way. Not about a way of teaching
There was a sense that staff felt that their background played a part in them being able to engage with enterprise education. Mention staff wanting to feel at a competant level to teach effectively. Those who had experience talked very positively about how this influenced their work - including it in their teaching and using their connections to support their teaching and students experiences.From those interviewed in Hwb - there was a recognition that the traditional fields of health professionals and science based professions may be changing in the current economic climate. Their were feelings that they perhaps needed support to develop their own understanding of enterprise but a positive sense of moving forward
Feeling that whilst you could facilitate a students learning, you cant teach the student everything - "you can prvide the fishing rod but its up to them to get the fish"Academics overwhelming felt that real life experience and examples provided students with something that you cannot teach. There was a feeling that those students who had placement experience were able to reflect upon the skills that they have learnt and benefit greatly from this. They could see the link between their education and their future employment.
Key barrier to academics including enterprise education - was that their reluctance to ram it down the throats of those who weren't interested.Much more comfortable in referring individuals than implementing enterprise education activities as a whole Feeling that those who would take an entrepreneurial approach - would already have the drive and motivation to do this independent of their teaching All members of staff felt that it is possible to teach students enterprising skills but that you can only facilitate students’ learning of innovation and creativity, rather than teach an individual to think like an entrepreneur.
We didn’t overtly ask about the universities approach to new initiatives…however an overwhelming number of staff commented on their disenchantment with the universities approach to introducing new initiatives. Staff had previous examples of how they thought this had been handled poorly - many felt frustrated that the positive work and their time constraints were not considered in the delivery of new initiatives.There was a sense of fear amongst staff at how they handle new initiatives, they wanted clarity in what is expected of them and the universities lack of communication was frequently sited as a barrier for staff knowing their role in new initiatives.
Discuss staff no-shows
-Staff development workshops- More guidance on developing the curriculum in a more enterprising wayBased on preliminary results, overall there was a positive response to enterprise education and a desire to embed this within the curriculum. Most members of staff reported that teaching enterprising skills played an important part in increasing students’ employability. Staff would benefit from support.
