The Role of Entrepreneurship Education Implementation in The Formation of Students' Entrepreneurial Attitudes at Private Senior High School in Gowa Regency

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of entrepreneurship education, students' entrepreneurial attitudes, and the role of entrepreneurship education in shaping entrepreneurial attitudes among students at Private Senior High School Gowa Regency. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. The research subjects consisted of the principal, teachers of crafts and entrepreneurship subjects, and students. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis used an interactive model that includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of entrepreneurship education has been carried out through intracurricular and extracurricular activities integrated in the 2013 Curriculum, with a learning method that combines theory and practice. Students' entrepreneurial attitudes are beginning to form, demonstrated through creativity, independence, responsibility, cooperation, and self-confidence, although not evenly distributed across all students. Entrepreneurship education plays an important role in shaping entrepreneurial attitudes through direct learning experiences. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as limited facilities and low student interest in entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship education plays a significant role in shaping students' entrepreneurial attitudes, but it needs optimization in terms of facilities, learning methods, and increasing student motivation.
