Abstract

This research explores the attitudes of teachers working in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences (UAS) on the importance and interest of entrepreneurship education and the stability of those attitudes in three years. A longitudinal data of three-waves consists of 204 answers from Finnish UAS teachers. Latent growth curve modelling reveals notable variations in the attitudes among individuals and their long-term stability. Prior entrepreneurship-related training and perceived university support have a positive impact on teachers' attitudes, contributing to their formation, and attitudes tend to persist over time. Our results emphasize the importance of early career support and entrepreneurship training for teachers.
