A economia circular (EC) constitui uma alternativa fundamental diante dos atuais desafios ambientais e produtivos. Seu ensino requer abordagens pedagógicas que integrem teoria, prática e reflexão crítica. Neste estudo, foi elaborado um curso que não apenas transmitiu conteúdos teóricos, mas também fortaleceu a capacidade dos estudantes de aplicar a EC como um referencial para inovação, sustentabilidade e tomada de decisões responsáveis. Este curso universitário baseou-se no alinhamento construtivo e na pesquisa-ação participativa; incluiu aulas, discussões orientadas, trabalho colaborativo e atividades práticas. A metodologia fundamentou-se no alinhamento construtivo, garantindo que cada atividade e avaliação correspondesse aos objetivos de aprendizagem estabelecidos. Além disso, a metodologia incorporou o uso de PLS-SEM, uma técnica adequada para analisar modelos complexos baseados em percepções por meio de construtos latentes derivados dos dados empíricos coletados, o que possibilitou avaliar de forma rigorosa as relações entre as variáveis do modelo e fornecer evidências estatísticas de sua consistência. Os autores observaram que o curso permitiu aos estudantes relacionar os princípios do empreendedorismo social com soluções para problemas do mundo real, ao mesmo tempo em que destacou a relevância das variáveis sociais e educacionais como fatores impulsionadores para integrar a EC ao ensino superior. Além disso, a educação para o empreendedorismo social é sustentada por teorias da aprendizagem e por tecnologias adaptativas que facilitam experiências de aprendizagem personalizadas. Os achados desta investigação estão alinhados com essas metodologias, uma vez que se situam dentro de parâmetros estatisticamente aceitáveis, reforçando, assim, a validade do modelo proposto.
