Learning framework

I. Introduction

The framework provides description of knowledge, skills and competences (attitudes) to be
reached by potential learners with disadvantage background engaged in the training programme
for entrepreneurs. This framework steps on the existing descriptions from the field of
entrepreneurship education including different learning modules. The Program for entrepreneurs
with disadvantage background adds also specific attributes, linked to the needs of the target group
The Framework is a part of the Training Program for Entrepreneurs with disadvantage background
and supports educators drawing on their professional knowledge to guide their planning for
training future entrepreneurs.
The Teaching and Learning Framework serves as a model for course design that helps instructors
align learning goals with activities, create motivating and inclusive environments, and integrate
assessment into learning.
The most effective teaching and learning frameworks are those that compile psychological,
cognitive, sociological, and educational background of learners. Teaching and learning
frameworks provide diverse approaches that help learners to form knowledge structures that are
accurately and meaningfully organized and to be aware when and how to apply the skills and
knowledge they learn. Aiming to do this we focus on the following four objectives of the Training
Program for Entrepreneurs with disadvantage background:
1. Retain information after a course is over
2. Develop an ability to transfer knowledge to novel situations
3. Develop skill in thinking or problem solving
4. Achieve affective outcomes, such as motivation for additional learning or a change in
attitude
The UPthEM Training Programme will help the adult educators in their work with learners with
disadvantaged background. The training programme will focus on learners with sociocultural,
economic, geographical and physical disadvantages. The duration of the training modules is
flexible and each trainer can adapt the content and teaching time to the needs of the trainees.
