<b>Reclaiming a Pedagogy for Entrepreneurial Creativity: a perspective based on </b><b>Intellectual agility and Design-driven Entrepreneurship</b>

By emphasizing hypothesis testing, these approaches risk marginalizing the cultivation of inquiry, imagination, questioning, and reframing entrepreneurial ideas before they are tested. This position paper presents a pedagogical framework to support intellectual agility in iterating between validation and speculation, thereby improving the generation of market hypotheses.

We carry out a preliminary review of empirical and conceptual studies in Design-driven Entrepreneurship Education (EE) pedagogy, guided by the criteria of emphasizing early ideation, reflective inquiry, and futures-oriented learning. Building on this literature, we identify five types of transformations (material, conceptual, linguistic, behavioral, and temporal) to support intellectual agility and integrate creative inquiry with market hypotheses validation.
