This article examines entrepreneurship education (EE) in school and in teacher education in the Nordic European countries including Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. The research design is based on a semi-systematic literature review following the PRISMA 2020 statement and a reflexive thematic analysis after Braun and Clark. Within the findings, all Nordic countries identify a concordant subject-orientated understanding of entrepreneurship education as a didactical approach and a mindset of educators in the learning process by using several terms, summarized in the definition of the term “Nordic entrepreneurial pedagogy.” Our article highlights aspects of entrepreneurship education in the Nordics against the background of international understandings, focusing on the definition of entrepreneurship education, the role of the teacher and methods applied. The analysis reveals the importance of a standardized definition for entrepreneurship education and calls for more scholarship exploring Nordic entrepreneurial pedagogy in teacher education.
