Embedding Entrepreneurship and Technology Literacy in the Student Curriculum: A Case Study of a Module for Real Estate Students
Innovations in Education and Teaching International, v62 n3 p959-970 2025
Ensuring a pedagogical emphasis on practical entrepreneurial experiences and technology literacy is essential across all educational stages. This paper presents a pioneering case study of curriculum innovation in higher education, specifically within real estate and planning programmes. The 'Managing Change in the Real Estate Sector' module is examined as a transformative initiative that integrates entrepreneurship and technology literacy in a subject-specific curriculum. Leveraging experiential learning principles, the module design addresses industry demands and aligns with contemporary educational paradigms. The systemic impact of the module is explored at the student, curriculum, and wider university levels. The study reveals positive outcomes, marked by enhanced student satisfaction, skills development, and industry engagement. The impact extends beyond the classroom, influencing curriculum design and receiving commendation at both internal and external levels. The paper concludes by discussing the broader implications for higher education, emphasising adaptability and innovation.
