Methodology & findings
Study design
Conceptual literature review integrating recent literature (2022-2025) to develop a theoretical framework
Primary method
None—this is a narrative literature review with theoretical framework development
Main result
The study found that "GenAI enhances faculty capacities across instructional design (course development, case creation, activity design, assessment) and pedagogical competencies (innovative teaching, personalization, reflective practice)," while emphasizing that "realizing these benefits requires integration with professional judgment, as quality concerns—including fabricated citations and context adaptation needs—underscore the indispensable role of faculty expertise."
Reports effect sizes.
Research paradigm
Interpretivist/constructivist
Author conclusions
The authors conclude that "GenAI should be reconceptualized as a capacity development mediator rather than merely an efficiency tool." They further state that "this framework has significant implications for teacher education programs and institutional policies governing AI integration in entrepreneurship education." The study identifies "Four key contributions: (1) a dual-dimensional framework for GenAI-mediated capacity development; (2) identification of four distinct faculty adoption profiles requiring differentiated support; (3) critical challenges spanning academic integrity, ethics, digital equity, and training deficits; and (4) evidence-based multi-level intervention recommendations."
Risk of bias
Selection bias in literature review (narrative rather than systematic); Potential publication bias (only recent literature 2022-2025 included); Author subjectivity in framework development without systematic quality assessment; Limited empirical validation of proposed framework; Selection bias in literature reviewed (2022-2025 timeframe may miss earlier foundational work); Publication bias in favor of positive GenAI outcomes in early experimental studies; Potential confirmation bias in conceptual framework development
Limitations
- The authors note that "while early experimental studies suggest potential time savings, realizing these benefits requires integration with professional judgment, as quality concerns—including fabricated citations and context adaptation needs—underscore the indispensable role of faculty expertise." Additionally, "critical challenges spanning academic integrity, ethics, digital equity, and training deficits" are identified as limiting factors in GenAI implementation.
Open questions raised
- Need for empirical validation of the proposed dual-dimensional framework
- Insufficient research on faculty adoption profiles and differentiated support strategies
- Limited evidence on effective interventions addressing academic integrity and ethics concerns
- Gap in understanding digital equity implications of GenAI in entrepreneurship education
- Need for comprehensive faculty training programs
- Need for systematic empirical validation of the proposed dual-dimensional framework
