  • Complex problems in entrepreneurship education: Examining complex problem-solving in the application of opportunity identification
    Education Research International, 2020

    Abstract:

    In opening up the black box of what entrepreneurship education (EE) should be about, this study focuses on the exploration of relationships between two constructs: opportunity identification (OI) and complex problem-solving (CPS). OI, as a domain-specific capability, is at the core of entrepreneurship research, whereas CPS is a more Domain-General Skill. On a conceptual level, there are reasons to believe that CPS Skills can help individuals to identify potential opportunities in dynamic and nontransparent environments. Therefore, we empirically investigated whether CPS relates to OI among 113 masters students. Data is analyzed using multiple regressions. The results show that CPS predicts the number of concrete ideas that students generate, suggesting that having CPS Skills supports the generation of detailed, potential business ideas of good quality. The results of the current study suggest that training CPS, as a more Domain-General Skill, could be a valuable part of what should be taught in EE.

  • The link between logic, mathematics and imagination: evidence from children with developmental dyscalculia and mathematically gifted children
    Developmental Science, 2013
    Co-Authors: Kinga Morsanyi, Amy Devine, Alison Nobes, Dénes Szűcs
    Abstract:

    : This study examined performance on transitive inference problems in children with developmental dyscalculia (DD), typically developing controls matched on IQ, working memory and reading Skills, and in children with outstanding mathematical abilities. Whereas mainstream approaches currently consider DD as a domain-specific deficit, we hypothesized that the development of mathematical Skills is closely related to the development of logical abilities, a Domain-General Skill. In particular, we expected a close link between mathematical Skills and the ability to reason independently of one's beliefs. Our results showed that this was indeed the case, with children with DD performing more poorly than controls, and high maths ability children showing outstanding Skills in logical reasoning about belief-laden problems. Nevertheless, all groups performed poorly on structurally equivalent problems with belief-neutral content. This is in line with suggestions that abstract reasoning Skills (i.e. the ability to reason about content without real-life referents) develops later than the ability to reason about belief-inconsistent fantasy content.A video abstract of this article can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90DWY3O4xx8.
