PHYSICS EDUCATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMME

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is reaching new areas in which the concept of business is more or less unfamiliar and remote. This paper focuses on the teaching, and learning of physics for development of entrepreneurship skills among students. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of the entrepreneurship directed educational approach in a programme targeted at learners in physics. It examines the concepts of entrepreneurship and physics education for entrepreneurship. Problems facing the teaching of physics are highlighted and possible recommendations made. Promoting entrepreneurial skills in Physics education will, no doubt, give physicists from developing countries the attitudes and skills that they need to bring their innovations to the market place. It is therefore very imperative to start teaching Physics in schools to bring-out in our students creativity and innovations with which they are endowed with.
