Abstract

Professional competence, as a whole, also includes the entrepreneurial field which implies, among others, innovation, planning and changing, efficient usage of the resources and development of the human networks. The purpose of this research is to highlight the role of constructivist education and the means through which it contributes to developing entrepreneurial competencies in future teachers-students. We consider that the ways of merging methods, instruments and specific entrepreneurial means can play a part in facilitating the development of entrepreneurial competencies and they present an interesting perspective to be approached.
