Improving the Entrepreneurship Competence of Pre-Service Elementary Teachers on Professional Education Program through the Skills of Disruptive Innovators

Abstract

The main objective of this research was to describe the effectiveness of Science learning based on the Skills of Disruptive Innovators (SDI) to improve the entrepreneurship skills of Pre-Service Elementary Teachers (PETs) on Professional Education Program (PEP). Entrepreneurship competence is essential for PETs because it includes the skills that must be possessed in the 21st century, preparing
them on PEP in the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) to become job creators. The design of this research was an experiment involving one-group pretest-posttest design. The data were analysed using NGain score. This research involved 40 PETs on PEP at Universitas Sebelas Maret. The results of the research showed that (1) the entrepreneurship competence of PETS on PEP can be improved through the SDI implementation in Science learning; (2) the component of entrepreneurship competence with the
highest N-Gain was making observations and inferences by 0.74; the N-Gains of association through analysing and designing an experiment were in moderate criterion (0.52 and 0.43); the N-Gains of networking with oral presentations and questioning were in the lowest criterion (0.29 and 0.27).
