Abstract

Unemployment of graduates of universities and graduates of educational sciences is one of the reason of everyone’s attention to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial competencies should be considered in order to train entrepreneur students. The aim of this study was to achieve the most important competencies and to evaluate them in the curriculum of educational sciences.
The entrepreneurial competencies were obtained by meta-synthesis. After evaluation of their content validity, the curriculum of educational sciences were studied. The entrepreneurial competencies are classified into four categories; individual and context characteristics, knowledge, attitudes and entrepreneurial skills. The study of curriculum of educational sciences showed that, education of entrepreneurship as a specialized lesson has been considered only for one of the four fields of this discipline and in the other lessons. According to the findings of this study, it is suggested that, curriculum planners should provide education of entrepreneurship for all students in the field of educational sciences. It is also suggested that, the entrepreneurial competencies should be considered in the modeling of other lessons of this discipline.
