Contribution of Production-Based Learning, Student Engagement, and Locus of Control towards Entrepreneurship Learning Outcomes in Engineering Education

Abstract

This study was motivated by entrepreneurship learning outcomes in engineering education that could not have a significant positive impact on students' interest in entrepreneurship. Currently, entrepreneurship learning is boring, predictable, and has not provided a good learning experience. This study described and tested the contribution of production-based learning, student engagement, and locus of control to entrepreneurship learning outcomes. This research used a quantitative method. The population was all students who take the entrepreneurship course in engineering education for 2,600 people, and the sample is 307 students. The research instruments used a reliable and valid Likert scale and the test for assessing entrepreneurship learning outcomes. Data were analyzed using parametric statistics. The results obtained from this research; there is the contribution of production-based learning, student engagement, and locus of control to the entrepreneurship learning outcome. Production-based learning provides an opportunity for students to be directly involved in a collaborative learning process. Besides, the raising of internal locus of control, for the level of confidence of students in the learning process, has a good impact on the entrepreneurship learning outcome students. The process of learning entrepreneurship by applying production-based learning also becomes more meaningful. It gives an influence on external locus of control, such as job opportunities and readiness in the community to be well open. Thus, it also automatically contributes to the improvement of the quality of graduates in engineering education.

Entrepreneurial Intentions for Engineering Students: Does Entrepreneurship Education and Family Environment Matter?

“…The unemployment rate for higher education in Indonesia is still high because the desire of students to open new businesses is very low (Ganefri et al, 2021). The burden of unemployment, including educated unemployment, is a big challenge for Indonesia (Yulastri et al, 2020). Concrete efforts are needed so that the number of unemployed can be reduced by increasing the number of entrepreneurs in Indonesia (Handayati et al, 2020).…”

Entrepreneurial Knowledge, Self-Efficacy, and The Impact of The Environment on The Entrepreneurial Interests in Electronic Engineering Department Students

“…Belief in one's own abilities can be the basis for a person's decision to do or not to do something. The relationship with entrepreneurial intent is that if you are confident, you will become more confident in becoming an entrepreneur, or even choosing not to be an entrepreneur [13].…”
