Entrepreneurial Character Education from an Early Age
Abstract
This study aims to understand forming students with an entrepreneurial character from an early age. For this reason, this research uses a qualitative type with a case study approach at the elementary school level, namely Islamic Primary School (SDI) Ibnu Rusyd North Lampung, Indonesia. Data were obtained from phenomena and activities at the research locus as primary data using in-depth observation techniques and structured interviews. The secondary data was obtained from institutional documents and some from literature sources such as books and articles with a close relationship with the entrepreneurial character. The analysis technique follows Miles & Huberman with the steps of gathering, presenting, condensing, and drawing conclusions. The results of the discussion explained that there are five entrepreneurial characteristics that SDI Ibnu Rusyd applies, namely independence, creativity, leadership, discipline, and the courage to take risks. Independent means the attitude students possess to overcome various problems by relying on their abilities. Creativity means that students can produce innovative new ideas. Leadership to influence and inspire others. Discipline means being able to act according to direction and responsibility. Dare to take risks is the nature of an entrepreneur. Feel free to try new things or take steps that have consequences. Applying entrepreneurial character right from an early age forms a strong foundation forming an essential basis for the success and innovation of future entrepreneurs.
