Finnish ninth graders’ perception of their entrepreneurial selves: general overview of the 2020 survey round

Abstract

This report gives an overview of a survey that was conducted in Finland in the autumn of 2020. In the first round of the survey, 11,433 ninth graders responded to the survey. This survey is a part of a national research study that aims to explore ninth graders’ perceptions of their entrepreneurial selves. The survey will be conducted for three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022). It is worth noting that this survey is not a longitudinal study. This survey covers young people born in 2005, 2006 and 2007. In addition, this research is not an evaluation of learning results but focuses on finding out how the learners themselves evaluate their entrepreneurial selves.
