The main objectives are: to investigate international guidelines for entrepreneurship and the pedagogy of competencies; to point out the relations between entrepreneurship and the pedagogy of competences in basic education; analyze SEBRAE’s JEPP course, understanding how the material deals with the ideology of entrepreneurship in basic education schools.
