The intention was to identify whether there are statistically significant differences in a population of men and women in a training program in entrepreneurship, assessing whether gender could be a factor to consider by educational institutions offering these specialties. The present exploratory study applies the validated E-Complexity instrument to measure the perception of a convenience sample of 116 students from a private university in Mexico. Statistically, the overall mean and the means for each item were calculated for the students’ perception of their mastery of the reasoning-for-complexity competency. From the results, we can confirm that no statistically significant evidence demonstrates differences between men and women in their perceived mastery of the reasoning-for-complexity competency in general. However, analyzing the results by sub-competencies shows that women tend to have a higher perception than their male counterparts. Thus, this article shows the need to develop environments beyond academia and theory, guaranteeing an actual follow-through to equality promoted within educational institutions.TextoengopenAccesshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0HUMANIDADES Y CIENCIAS DE LA CONDUCTA::PEDAGOGÍA::TEORÍA Y MÉTODOS EDUCATIVOSEducationArtículoEducation in the Knowledge Societyhttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-7289-163Xhttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-9197-7826https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3968-5775https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1274-706Xhigher educationeducational innovationcomplex thinking competenceentrepreneurship traininggender gapR4C&TEEspaña / Spain
