IMPLEMENTASI EDUPRENEUR ANAK DALAM PEMBELAJARAN KEWIRAUSAHAAN DI TK AISYIYAH ABA KONANG GLAGAH-LAMONGAN

Abstract

Fostering an "edupreneurial" spirit in children can prepare them to face 21st-century challenges by grounding them in edupreneurial values. This study aims to describe children's edupreneurial capabilities as developed through entrepreneurship-focused learning at Aisyiyah ABA Konang Kindergarten in Glagah, Lamongan. A qualitative descriptive research methodology was employed, utilizing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and activity documentation. The findings and discussion outline the execution process and the results of the edupreneur program's implementation. The results indicate that the edupreneur development program successfully enhanced the understanding among teachers and parents regarding the importance of instilling entrepreneurial values ​​from an early age. Edupreneurship is understood here as a learning approach that goes beyond merely introducing entrepreneurial concepts; it also cultivates traits such as independence, creativity, self-confidence, and responsibility, while fostering social skills through meaningful learning experiences. The program's successful implementation was supported by collaboration between the school and families, although certain challenges remained—specifically, limited time for parental guidance and a need for a better understanding of strategies to integrate edupreneurship into daily instruction. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of reinforcing integrity within the implementation of edupreneurship, which can be further developed through active learning experiences for children.
