Entrepreneurship in Technical and Vocational Education and Training: A Bibliometric Review

Abstract

Entrepreneurship is an important initiative of the country to overcome the problem of unemployment as well as to boost the country's economy. This initiative can be seen through the application of entrepreneurship in Technical and Vocational Training Education (TVET). The existing entrepreneurship in TVET studies are extensive, making it difficult for researchers to make an overview of the field. Therefore, this study was produced to provide an analysis of entrepreneurship in TVET publications on a bibliometric basis obtained through the Scopus database to assist in building and illustrating the literature of studies in the field. This study uses a bibliometric analysis method using Harzing's Publish or Perish for citation metrics and analysis, VOSviewer for data visualization, and Microsoft Excel for frequency analysis. Based on the study results, 4 clusters were obtained to reflect the overall entrepreneurship in TVET: entrepreneurial attributes, entrepreneurial involvement, entrepreneurial implementation, and entrepreneurial needs. Indonesia and the State University of Malang are the highest country and university producing articles in this field. It suggests additional research for discussion in databases such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, Dimension, or PubMed. The combination of these various sources of databases will result in more valuable study results.
