Abstract

The relevance of the research into students’ entrepreneurial thinking is underscored by the limited theoretical advancement of the issue as well as the critical importance of this aspect for future professionals’ practical training. The purpose of the article is to determine the conditions for effective partnership interaction with the business sector in cultivating of students’ entrepreneurial thinking. The study employed a formative pedagogical experiment designed to assess the impact of harmonizing pedagogical efforts with business representatives, which serves to be an essential condition for fostering students’ entrepreneurial thinking. The methodology employed included the T. Ehlers' achievement motivation assessment, the subtests from the R. Amthauer intelligence test, and a questionnaire aimed at evaluating entrepreneurial skills. Furthermore, a statistical analysis was conducted. The results of the formative experiment reveal the effectiveness of educational partnerships with the business sector in shaping motivation for success: a notable increase in the high level was observed in 30.3% of the participants. Additionally, there was a significant enhancement in students' entrepreneurial skills, with the high level increasing by 57.58%. However, the indicators reflecting the development of the cognitive core of entrepreneurial thinking among higher education students exhibited no substantial changes. Nevertheless, in the cohort in which only developmental classes were conducted, the high level of verbal intelligence increased by 31.58% among the participants. The trends identified can be attributed to the more pronounced integration of students into the business environment. The findings of this study may serve as a foundational guideline for reforming higher education to cultivate entrepreneurial thinking as one of the essential competencies for future specialists. We see prospects for further research in the development of standardized methods for assessing students’ entrepreneurial thinking.
