Disruption through Bricolage: Assessing the Efficacy of Social Entrepreneurs in the Supplemental Education Market
Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, v23 n3 p283-296 2025
This paper sheds light on the assessment of publicly funded privately managed supplemental education programs for pupils from migrant and low-income households. The paper positions the case study as a form of social enterprise characterized by bricolage. Drawing from existing literature on afterschool program assessment and entrepreneurship studies, the researchers identify the organizational characteristics and entrepreneurial logics that contribute to the program quality and efficacy. A mixed methods approach is adopted. The paper argues that bricoleurs disrupt the supplemental education market by creatively repurposing existing resources to develop an innovative form of homework support that is tailored to the needs of an underserved community.
