Rezumat: The effectiveness of existing entrepreneurship programmes is undisputed. Among other things, this has to do with the fact that there are very different opinions on what the contents and objectives of such programmes should be, what quality requirements should be placed on the actors of entrepreneurship education (trainers, coaches, consultants, etc.) and what criteria should be used to measure success. The question of how the countless methods used in the practice of entrepreneurship education work is also very central, especially since they are often only insufficiently scientifically founded. In order to illuminate these connections between theory and practice, the conceptually designed article examines what academic basis can be laid for entrepreneurship education in order to focus on entrepreneurial learning at various levels. Based on a systemic-evolutionary approach, the question is explored to what extent methods in entrepreneurship education can be tailored even more specifically to the needs of entrepreneurial learners in order to increase the energy level (competence and motivation) in an action-oriented framework. To this end, the points of contact with interdisciplinary approaches are clarified, e.g. to highlight the importance of different methods for the aspects of competence building, courage, will to act, perseverance or resilience for the systematic use of methods. The example of "Method Acting" illustrates the limits and possibilities of an interdisciplinary approach for entrepreneurship education as well as its location in the systemic-evolutionary model of entrepreneurial learning levels. Even though this cannot always be done in a clear-cut manner, promising approaches for the transfer of techniques from acting training to the field of entrepreneurship education can be transferred from this.
