Pounder  \nUniversity of the West Indies, Barbados  \nAbstract  \nThis article reports on research that took place over two academic years (September 2013-April 2015). It provides a rich understanding of entrepreneurship education based on experiential knowledge and best practices from five entrepreneurship educators who have all worked as consultants to entrepreneurs, advisors to the government on entrepreneurship, and have taught entrepreneurship at the tertiary level for several years in the Caribbean. The findings illustrate that experiences, sense of purpose, reflective practice, lecturer's passion, mentoring, simulation and practice are seen to collectively offer a significant contribution to learning. Further, the findings support the view that teachers of entrepreneurship should draw upon highly developed techniques in their range of teaching methods that demonstrate aptitude for the subject matter. The participants agreed that ideally, the ultimate course goal is to support students in remembering techniques learned in an entrepreneurship class that contribute to gaining confidence in setting up their own venture and that assist with avoiding pitfalls. The purpose of the research article is to provide methodical insight that will improve the entrepreneurial orientation of students in entrepreneurship classes.  \nKeywords: entrepreneurship, education, learning, teaching, Caribbean  \nDr. Paul Pounder is known in the Caribbean region for his research in the fields of entrepreneurship and project management. He is a Lecturer at the University of the West Indies, and teaches courseson business strategy and entrepreneurship. He has published in a series of international journals; with his current research focusing on entrepreneurial education, social entrepreneurship, competitiveness and project evaluation.  \n[Email: paul.pounder@cavehill.uwi.edu](Email: paul.pounder@cavehill.uwi.edu)  \nConsiderable pedagogical research focuses on the concepts surrounding entrepreneurship education. Prior research reflects on how courses are taught and places emphasis upon the importance of learning from: real situations; interactions by role play and use of projects; business plan development and presentations (Gibb, 2002; Levie, 1999) . There is now consensus in the literature (e.g. Elmuti, Khoury, & Omran, 2012; Field, 2014; Henry, Hill, & Leitch, 2005; Kuratko, 2003) that entrepreneurship (or at least some aspects of it) can be taught. As such, the debate has now shifted to what should be taught and how it should be taught (Lourenco and Jones, 2006) . Educators are challenging the design of effective learning opportunities for entrepreneurship students (Solomon, 2007) . Educators and policy makers are questioning the techniques used in teaching entrepreneurship education in the Caribbean. This is because entrepreneurship education is perceived to benefit students from all socioeconomic backgrounds and fosters unconventional thinking and skillsets.  \nThe present article reports on research that was conducted over two academic years (September 2013 – April 2015) at the University of the West Indies in the Caribbean, with entrepreneur educators. The purpose is to highlight a variety of quality teaching and learning methods, that can be used to meet the learning needs of students. The goal of this research is to investigate the teaching practices of leading entrepreneur educators to arrive at an understanding of how their approaches are linked to both traditional and innovative learning theories. The main research question is as follows: Which of the themes identified in entrepreneurship education are grounded in five learning theories - behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, transformative, and connectivism?  \nContext of the Document Analysis-Curriculum  \nThe University of the West Indies in the Caribbean is a thought-provoking case for studying entrepreneurs","cbCaitERBCbn6irm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitERBCbn6irm","pdf",732255,4,1,19,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n# Research Purpose and Question\n# Context of the Document Analysis -
