Students' entrepreneurial attitudes: Does the integrated Learning model based on tri dharma in entrepreneurship education work?

Abstract

The role of entrepreneurship education is urgently needed due to the lack of entrepreneurial activities, the curriculum not being standardized, the lack of skills of the lecturers in entrepreneurship, and less collaboration among the practitioners, education institutions, and students. Therefore Entrepreneurship education has not been planned and integrated well into higher education's functions to develop student entrepreneurial attitudes. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of the integrated entrepreneurship education model of tri dharma education in developing student entrepreneurial attitudes in higher educations. Indicators of student entrepreneurial attitudes were measured by aspects of student leadership, student personality, and student personal assessment and the research analysis through paired sample t-test The result indicates that the integrated entrepreneurship education model of tri dharma education was effective and can be used as an alternative learning model to improve student entrepreneurial attitudes. It can be helpful in the students to increase their entrepreneurship attitudes after school in the community. The researcher recommends further research to compare the tri dharma of entrepreneurship education model with the other model. It also recommends cooperatively formulating and implementing a fit integrative entrepreneurship education program to develop better students' entrepreneurship attitudes in Indonesia.
