From Classroom Projects to Business Ideas: Indonesian Vocational College Students' Entrepreneurial Skills
Issues in Educational Research, v34 n2 p608-628 2024
This study presents a cutting-edge topic in vocational education in Indonesia. Entrepreneurship education has experienced a resurgence in popularity since the compulsory implementation of project-based learning in Indonesian vocational education in 2022. The curriculum was designed to equip students with workplace skills including entrepreneurial skills. Our study explores how project-based learning can be directed to support students' entrepreneurial skills in business courses in English. Involving vocational college students, this study employed a questionnaire, interviews, and reflective journals for data collection. Our findings highlight the merits of project-based learning for accounting students' entrepreneurial skills and technology utilisation. After the projects, students possess knowledge of entrepreneurship, identify business opportunities, intend to start a business, and become entrepreneurs in the future. This study paves the way for the implementation of projects to improve students' entrepreneurial skills in vocational colleges in Indonesia. It suggests that entrepreneurial education should not be confined solely to financial courses. Instead, it can be effectively disseminated and integrated into diverse academic disciplines.
