1. Background

1.1 Work Package 3 (WP3) The goal of WP3 as described in the project proposal is: The aim is to develop building blocks to implement the EICAA-Competence Monitor (EICAACM) through two objectives: 1. Establish a (self-)assessment rubric to determine entrepreneurship competence achievement of HEI students and employees or practicing entrepreneurs: • The rubric will build on EntreComp (and thus Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives) and integrate of the WP2 Conceptual Framework. The rubric will rate each competence at ordinal levels further elaborating EntreComp for today’s entrepreneurial context. This will allow participating students and practitioners to rank and get qualitative feedback on their entrepreneurial competences, and receive tailored recommendations for remedial interventions. Additionally, the intended use of this rubric will also be that a program evaluation instrument to rate and improve pedagogical effectiveness. This will address questions for program evaluators, such as: ▪ Did a training activity achieve its intended competence goals? ▪ What factors contribute to program outcomes? ▪ In which areas can an activity or program be improved? 2. Design & prototype competence assessment instruments: The rubric will then be operationalized into validated survey instruments (one for use among HE students & one for use among employees/practitioners). These surveys will be easy to access for respondents, implementors, and any interested third-party institutions. It will combine preexisting, adjusted and newly developed constructs. The survey will be translated into the languages in the project group at its final stage, and will consider language, culture, experience and education level of the participants. The deliverables of WP3 are shown in Table 1 as it was committed in the proposal. This document corresponds to deliverable 3.1.

1.2 Construction of the document To build this document and complete deliverable 3.2, the team at Antwerp Management School (AMS) has led the development and revisions of the Survey, along with the help of the entire consortium in the various iterations that took place. All EICAA partners participated in online workshops as well as provided offline inputs to validate and finalise the questionnaire. This document encloses the final Questionnaire based on the partner’s inputs that deemed fit to be incorporated.

Title and Description

3.1

Rubric System Methodology for Entrepreneurial and Intrapreneurial Competences

Type: Report / Method

3.2 Type: Questionnaire

3.3 Type: Report / Method

The first output of WP3 will be a scoring guide that can be used to analyse the quality of student and employee responses as to gain insights on their entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial (e&i) competence “portfolio” in a structured manner. Furthermore, it is also key for all aligned/connected data analysis processes at a later stage. The rubric system will be based on the methodology laid out in the EICAA Conceptual Framework (WP2) and therefore also integrates methodology from the EntreComp of the JRC-EC. Entrepreneurial & Intrapreneurial Competence Assessment Surveys The second output of WP3 will the assessment instruments in the shape of comprehensive “ready-to-implement surveys”, which will form the foundation for the consortium to implement the agenda of allowing HEI students and employees e&i competences. The survey will be in an online, cloud-based form optimized for mobile use to ensure easy access and user friendliness. The invitation process, data storage, data management, access management, security and communication will be designed in compliance with European GDPR. The back end for survey users will ensure easy access for users and easy user management with differentiated access rights for account owners. It is important to note that the output of WP3 will focus on survey development and not on actual survey implementation. Survey implementation will be done in WP 5&6. The survey development will be documented and tested internally and will be presented to the consortium in the form of presentations. The source code for the surveys (the questions, the factor structure of the questionnaire and the overall norms – standard deviation and average) will be made publicly available through a creative commons license. To fund the upkeep, servicing and continued development of the surveys and reporting, admission to the survey online presence for parties beyond the project participants will be subscription- or use-based First-order logic for scoring and norming of results to enable matching with appropriate interventions (WP4) in the EICAA CM tool’s algorithms (WP5) To feed the development of the EICAA-CM tool, we will develop a first layer of the logic that will be finalized in WP5 as the algorithms matching individual survey results with the most appropriate intervention recommendations. This first layer will consist of the following:

•

The factor formulae: these summarize which survey item scores need to be positively or negatively added into an average formula for each factor. The factor normalization scores: the averages and standard deviations per norm group (students and professionals) that serve as basis for the calculation of normalized scores depicting someone’s position in a normal distribution. The normed cut-offs for each factor, per norm group. Based on the averages and standard deviations, we will deliver the normalized cut-offs for calculating percentiles on a normal distribution, as well as Standardized-ten (STEN) scores. The normed texts: per range of STEN scores, we will provide for each factor a text stating the general implication of a very low (STEN 1-2), low (STEN 3,4), average (STEN 5-6), high (STEN 7-8), and very high (STEN 9-10). These texts can be used in the EICAA-CM tool and will be translated.

These outputs will constitute inputs for the development of the logic in WP5, by mapping the normed scores for each factor onto the intervention options.

1.3 Structure of the Document This document is structured as follows: a) In the next chapter, we explain the objectives and methodology that has led to the finalization of the EICAA-CM questionnaire. b) Then, we present the description of the questionnaire, its usability and application, and its added value. c) We go on to present the final questionnaire for both entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs.

2. Methodology 2.1

Objectives

The aim of this document is to present the revised EICAA-CM questionnaire built using the Rubric System as a foundational framework and identify its usability and application. In constructing the Rubric system, we have adhered to the EICAA Conceptual Framework's overarching structure while integrating modifications that have been approved by the consortium. The principles in this process are: -

Identify radical changes between EICAA-CF and EntreComp, achieve the consortium’s acceptance for each change to serve as the outline of the Rubric system Streamline the learning outcomes while maintain the comprehensiveness where feasible Follow the simple structure of progression levels while making changes were deemed necessary. Ensuring each learning outcome entails no more than one action Build new statements for new threads and competencies

2.2 Methodology The development of the EICAA Competence Monitor was conducted utilizing a mixed method approach. In the first stage, we developed the items of the survey based on the EICAA Competence Framework and an iterative refinement of its rubric system, as delineated in Output 3.1. To further ensure face validity, effectiveness and sustainability of the instrument, formulations were further refined using a Delphi process with 15 educational and entrepreneurship researchers and experts in 4 iterations before consensus was reached. The rich descriptions of the rubric system then served as a basis to develop alternative survey versions which were validated with an even broader set of 31 educational and entrepreneurship researchers, teachers, and experts. In total 5 versions of the survey were developed: one using shortened versions of the rubric as answer options, one using rich descriptions of a thread as statement and cognitive proficiency levels based on Bloom’s taxonomy, one employing 5 EntreComp inspired proficiency levels (none, basic, intermediate, advanced, expert) and finally a streamlined version of the latter. Each version was developed through a combination of at least one focus group with the evaluators, and a Delphi process with asynchronous review rounds. In the second last version, item statements from the third version were reduced in length and lexically simplified and where necessary a responsive hint was added to clarify the meanings of the terms used. The fourth version of the survey was subjected to a first quantitative pre-test round (N=72). The subject of this pre-test and the one that followed were students across disciplines and levels (Bachelor’s, Master’s, Doctorates) at the Higher Education Institutes of the EICAA Consortium. During this pre-test round 1 competence was found to exhibit reliability issues and 5 indicated normality issues. Otherwise, reliability ranged between 0.669 and 0.926 for Cronbach alpha, between 0.610 and 0.918 for split half consistency, and between 0.721 and 0.927 for Omega. The result of this round led to the development of the fifth version, which was subjected to a second pre-test round (N=202), this time including exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, as well as Average Variances Extracted. In this round one competence was still investigated further due to potential reliability, and 6 for normality, or one-dimensionality. Reliability scores 4

in this round for the other competencies ranged between 0.651 and 0.914 (Cronbach’s alpha), between 0.733 and 0.914 (Omega), between 0.656 and 0.915 (Split Half) and between 0.63 and 0.91 (Composite Reliability). Moreover, an analysis of the average variance extracted (AVE) resulted in issues for the competencies Creativity (AVE=0.48) and Self Awareness and Self Efficacy (AVE = 0.48). The results of the second pre-test triggered a last qualitative review round to discuss items that revealed internal consistency issues, as well as preliminary patterns observed in reliability and covariance scores. This last review round also entailed a detailed check of the item formulations with the Competence Framework, as the many iterations of the dialectical Delphi process risked leading to discursive operationalizations that did not fully reflect the original concept anymore. In the final version, using the results from the second pre-test and the following Confirmatory Factory Analysis, structural changes were made to the survey, which involved division of competences, addition of new competences, and shifting of threads amongst competences. The results of the factor analysis, the changes proposed, and their reasons can be found in the appendix. Figure 1. Methodology for the Design of the EICAA-CM Rubric system

3. EICAA-CM Description

3.1 Scale As stated earlier, instead of using the Rubric system, we used an adapted version of a Likert Scale. The scale points of this format still reflected the proficiency levels of the rubric system, but then with short statements circumscribing the expected behavior or outcome reflecting the competency which needed to be evaluated using the same fixed answer options. Thistype of questioned drastically reduced the mental load and time needed to complete the survey (from about 1 hour to 12-13 minutes). This improved the perceived ease of filling out the questionnaire and provided better accuracy. The Likert Scale levels in terms of the participants’ proficiency were as follows:     

NONE – Have no proficiency. BASIC – Have basic proficiency. INTERMEDIATE – Have experience in applying. ADVANCED – Have obtained desired results despite challenges. EXPERT – Considered as a reference and inspiration.

3.2 Usability and Application •

•

The Competence Monitor can be employed as a diagnostic tool to identify areas of strength and weakness, thereby informing targeted interventions to enhance the students’ entrepreneurial competences. The interventions, as a part of the Competence Development Kit, may be implemented within academic institutions or in real-world contexts, such as entrepreneurship training programs or incubators. It can assist academic institutions in curriculum design and delivery, enabling the development of tailored entrepreneurship courses and programs that better equip students with the skills and competences necessary for successful entrepreneurial endeavors. It can also be useful for evaluating the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education programs and interventions, providing insight into the impact of such initiatives on students' competences and informing continuous improvement efforts. In a departure from EntreComp, the Competence Monitor represents a significant advancement by providing instructors with the ability to measure their students' competences in real-time, thereby enabling timely and accurate feedback on entrepreneurial skill development.

6. Appendix

Divide Design Competence into two competences and shifting second competence to “Into Action” ▪ Statistical Justification: I. In the exploratory factor analysis, the first three items (Related to threads “Immerse with your users” and “Identify needs”) come under one factor and the last three items (Related to threads “Prototype and test” and “CoCreate”) cluster under another factor as shown in the image below:

II.

While performing Structural Equation Modelling, we see that once we divide the Design competence into two different factors, our parameters are closer to “adequate” as shown in the image below:

Theoretical Justification: I. The first three items (or the first two threads) of Design Competence relate to Design thinking. The last three items (or the last two threads) of this Competence relate to Design Action.

Implication on WP2: I. A new competence will have to be added to “Into Action”. Preceding information like a hint, definition, and literature (?) will also be required. Implication on WP4: I. For the new competence, WP4 could either divide the current modules they have based on their outcome or focus, or new modules will have to be generated. Implication on WP5: I. Revised First and Second Order Logic (to be provided by AMS) will have to be put into action. II. Adding a new competence to the JSON file Implication on other WPs: I. Changes in EICAA conceptual framework visual (WP7?) II. Changes in website outputs

Remove Mobilizing Resources and placing its threads in other competences: ▪ Statistical Justification: I. Mobilizing Resources has 4 items in the survey, and upon doing exploratory factor analysis, the 4 items did not seem to cluster together (either they did not have a loading, had weak loadings, cross loadings, etc..). A sample can be found in the image shown:

II.

Under Structural Equation Modelling, when we remove 9_1 and 9_3, the parameters perform much better, as shown in the image below:

Theoretical Justification: I. Money, Time, People are all resources, and since the competence Mobilising Resources includes many different resources, it is cross sectional. Currently, the items talk about acquiring resources, making the most out of them, and building a network. These could be spread across different competences, for example financial resources can be spoken about in “Financial and Economic Literacy”, building a network can be shifted to “Mobilising Others”, the resource time can be brought up in “Planning and Management”. Implication on WP2: I. Removal of a competence and adjusting the new threads in other competences. Does this add to further literature review? – Question for Ester Implication on WP4: I. Shifting the specific modules to different competences (Non-invasive) Implication on WP5: I. Revised First and Second Order Logic (to be provided by AMS) will have to be put into action. II. Adding a new competence to the JSON file Implications on other WPs: I. Changes in EICAA conceptual framework visual (WP7?) II. Changes in website outputs

Other suggested changes to WP2 with little/no implications on WP4 and WP5: 3.

Trim 9_3

Remove Sustainable Accountability: ▪ Statistical Justification: I. During exploratory factor analysis, this item (2_5 in the image below) has 3 cross loadings across different factors with little difference each, shown below:

▪ ▪ ▪

Theoretical/Practical Justification: I. Despite many efforts, the formulation of this item remains confusing. Since the original conceptual framework was also in doubt about keeping this item/rephrasing it, perhaps there may be benefit to discuss that. Implication on WP2: Removal, no other action required Implication on WP4: Removal, no other action required Implication on WP5 Removal, no other action required

Rephrase thread “Believe in your ability”: ▪ Statistical Justification: I. N/A ▪ Theoretical Justification: I. This thread does not translate into an actionable skill. Currently, the item for this thread in the survey is: Implementing a project, even in difficult circumstances, which does not directly relate to the ability to believe in oneself, but rather resilience. ▪ Implication on WP2 I. Additional literature review to rephrase it? ▪ Implication on WP4: I. N/A ▪ Implication on WP5: I. Updated JSON file (to be treated as reformulation)
