Abstract

In the past, it was believed that entrepreneurs have inherent characteristics and these traits, such as creativity, human interaction skills, and risk-taking, are born with them. So, the basic premise was that entrepreneurship is not achieved through education. But today, entrepreneurship is recognized as a discipline and Knowledge of it must be acquired through education. This article raises three main questions; 1) What is entrepreneurship education? 2) Why is entrepreneurship education important? 3) How is entrepreneurship training conducted? This article is conducted as a review article. More than 28 related articles were reviewed using keywords to find documents related to the three questions on Google Scholar and sid data base. This article is presented in five parts with comprehensive models. The first part deals with the concept of entrepreneurial education and related terms. The second part explains the importance of entrepreneurial education. The third part, how to do entrepreneurial training in the form of Ajzen’s behavior models has been presented. In the fourth part, an educational tool for creating value and entrepreneurship called effectuation theory has been introduced. Finally, in the fifth part, entrepreneurship education in Iran has been reviewed and based on the research results, conclusions and suggestions have been presented.
