Entrepreneurial Learning and Teaching in Higher Education: A Bibliometric and PRISMA-Based Systematic Review of Research Trends and Future Directions.”

Entrepreneurship education has become an increasingly important component of higher education systems worldwide. Universities are expected not only to provide knowledge but also to cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets and competencies among students. This study sought to examine the development of research on entrepreneurial learning and teaching in higher education through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review approach. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship education research has grown rapidly over the past two decades and is characterized by several dominant themes, including entrepreneurial intention, experiential learning, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and digital entrepreneurship. Influential scholars and journals have played a significant role in shaping the intellectual development of the field. The study also highlights the growing importance of experiential learning, ecosystem engagement, and digital technologies in entrepreneurship education. These elements represent key components of modern entrepreneurial learning environments and should be integrated into university curricula. By synthesizing existing literature and identifying emerging research trends, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship education and provides guidance for future research and educational practice. As the global economy continues to evolve, universities must adopt innovative teaching approaches that equip students with the skills and competencies required to thrive in entrepreneurial environments.
