Self-determination as a core competency of entrepreneur in educational field // Pedagogical Review. 2025. Issue 1 (59). P. 36-45

The article discusses current trends in the field of entrepreneurship development, the importance of youth entrepreneurship and the formation of relevant competencies in a university setting. Particular attention is paid to entrepreneurship in the field of education. Based on the example of the implementation of the bachelor’s program “Educational Projects: Management and Entrepreneurship” at the Moscow Higher School of Economics and the Teodor Shanin University of Economics, the authors talk about the ability for self-determination as the key to entrepreneurship in education. The article proposes methods for developing the ability to self-determination, and develops diagnostic criteria for its development. It is considered that the formation of the ability to self-determination occurs through the organization of a special type of situations with a high level of uncertainty. Such educational situations themselves require stopping and transformation (additional definition), since they are internally contradictory. They allow students to discover their own boundaries and meaningful gaps. In accordance with these principles, an educational test for the development of selfdetermination ability, conducted in the course “Fundamentals of Leadership: Challenge, Choice, Action”, is described. Within the framework of this educational test, the results of students’ construction of a self-determination tool and the criteria that this tool meets are described.
